Will thermos keep whole milk fresh overnight?

So my little one has 2 bottles a day 1 in the morning, 1 at night. We have a townhouse so instead of going all the way down to the kitchen every morning, i bring up a premade carton of formula then hest with boiling water in the morning that i bring up in a flask. Now we are switching to cows milk i'm wondering if whole milk will stay fresh in a thermos flask until the morning? I will then put it in the bottle and warm with the boiling water flask. If not, has anyone else got ideas to get around this? She can wake anytime from 5:30-7 so it's not like i can set an alarm, go make a bottle and be ready for when she wakes up. Just trying to make my life a little easier and get as much sleep as i can!

Only suggestion would be a mini fridge in your room. A thermos wouldn’t keep it fresh enough for a baby (I’d probably risk it for myself 🤣 as they do keep it bloody cold but not for a baby) x

@Kat I put some milk in a thermos that i had pre cooled and left it out in the kitchen last night as a mini experiment, i haven't tried it yet though. My husband suggested UHT milk for the mornings but i'm not sure on that yet, google says it's totally fine for babies and is essentially the same, but i feel like the taste is slightly different. I would like to avoid a mini frildge if possible. I do also have a cooler bag eith ice packs but i'm not sure on that either! 🤔

I think they say you can use a cool bag with ice packs for 24 hours for breast milk so I would have thought it should be okay. Maybe just makes sure it's fully surrounded by cool packs. You can get small lunch bag style ones which would do the job for one bottle of milk.xx
