Can the bottles be used to store the breastmilk in the freezer?

I don't think so, I use the medela milk storage bags instead since they occupy less space (I have a small freezer), and easier to thraw so I can continue to use the bottles for pumping and feeding purposes.

Would be better to store the milk in a breastmilk storage bag. Much more space friendly in your freezer! :)

Disposable. I think most breastmilk storage bags are disposable. I guess you could store milk in plastic or glass bottles in the freezer but it would take up a awful lot of space if you have a lot of storage built up. The disposable storage bags allow you to store the milk flat.

I'm sure you could, but the stuff they are made of wouldn't hold the cold for very long. These are really fun, not sure what the freezer could add to the experience.

I haven't tried to put mine in the freezer but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I use margarine containers in the freezer all of the time. Since we know that the glass is impervious to the cold, the only question would be the lids and they are essentially the same thing as margarine container lids so I don't see why not. Hope this was helpful. P.S. I wouldn't try to pop the lid off right away after taking one out of the freezer but rather wait a couple minutes for it to warm up and become flexible again.

I'm not sure about freezing. I'd think you could but they have a 6 month shelf life :)

Yes, but it easier and more convienent to use the lansinoh breast milk storage bags. The bags work well and can thaw faster(in a cup of warm water) when you need to quickly get a bottle ready. And also they take up less space.But we do have tons of these storage bottles as well to use for pumpkng

i'm sure they can but playtex sells bottles that are called drop-ins and i believed are angled as well that are used for breast milk. however the bottom do remove from these bottles so i am sure you can use breast milk in them.

Yes!!!! I used these for freezing over 600 oz of breastmilk. I didn't store BM in them long term. Once the milk was frozen, I popped the cubes out and stored either in a vacuum sealed bag (highly recommend this for long term), or a zippy freezer bag. Then they were placed in a deep freeze and some stored for up to 5 months. I never had any problem with milk quality. The vacuum sealed bags make the cubes stick together a bit as they are pressed onto one another, especially when stored for a few months, but a quick smack on a counter top broke them up well.

I have not tried them in the freezer but I love these bins. The plastic is an excellent quality. If I had to guess, I would say it would be fine in the freezer.

These bottles have a plastic stopper. I would not use these to freeze in...I think they break.

I never thought about it but I think so. They are the same bottles as these, and it says they are freezer safe: http://www.amazon.com/Ameda-Breast-Storage-Bottles-Ounce/dp/B003TJAGAS I put my bottles in the freezer regularly (without milk in them) so I can just pull the whole carrying case out of the freezer in the morning and go, and have noticed any deterioration of the bottles.

Yes, I was able to put them in the freezer. The only problem I had was the lids don't stay on very well and it's not a complete seal if the lids do stay put.

My understanding is the bags are not for freezer use, so the answer is no. To do that you'd need to purchase their bigger food saver sealing machine.

You can, but I would seal what's inside in a zip lock freezer bag. Make sure the box is upright otherwise it would collapse under pressure. I wouldn't burry it to deep.

Yes, these work great for freezer storage. I have froze breast milk and homemade baby food for 3 of my children in these, and have never had problems. They go directly from freezer, to bottle warmer to dishwasher with out any difficulty.
