Can these bottles be used to store breastmilk as is or do I need to get the flat caps?

Probably want flat caps although you could just use these tops on a short term basis (1 day-ish)

I never thought about it but I think so. They are the same bottles as these, and it says they are freezer safe: Ameda 4 Pack Breast Milk Storage Bottles, 4 Ounce 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.

I wouldn't recommend putting breast milk in them. I don't think they'll seal well enough

You can squeeze 6 of the 6 oz bottles in if you use the flat caps. It won't zip if you have the nipples & nipple caps on them.

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

You will need to buy the nipples separately. This storage set is great! I ended up buying two cooler sets as well with more day label lids. It's perfect for daycare/pumping at work. Best wishes!

I have tried to use these as bottles once and the nipple and nipple ring ''fit" but since you are not able to use the blue little pipe and the tan color insert to the pipe the milk spills out (sorry i do not know their exact names). Hope this info helps.

You can. They have multiple ridges evenly distributed and based on what I saw on my unit there is enough space for a couple more levels. I was thinking the same route until I saw how easily they stack on top of each other. Obviously some types of bottles are more stable than others doing that.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

My daughter didnt use it while breast feeding, but I don't think the shape would be conducive for that purpose. It's fine for bottle feeding, as you don't have to hold them as close to the body.

The answer is no to both questions. But the bottle tops are the "screw on" type, no safety seal is really necessary.

Yes, there are sealing disks that come with them as well as the lids you can see in the picture. Storing breast milk in them is a wonderful idea so now you don't have to use the plastic bags and it's less transferring. I'll be sure to remember that. Thank you!

I haven't experienced leaks with them, you can place them horizontal and assuming you have a flat even surface they'll be fine, but I own these and the 5 ounce medela bottles that are fatter and I prefer those.While they haven't broken on me I feel like these are more flemsy and I can't store as much milk so I've switched to the larger ones.

I never tried to use them with the playtex nurser bottles because the storage bags are just for storing breast milk. The nurser bottles insert liners are formed to just drop in, no hassle like they use to be when they looked like the milk storage bags.

i really dont know the model i dont have them with me right now, but you can use them to store baby food as well as milk.In my opinion they are great!

I guess it depends on your pumping machine. If they fit then yes you can. I had the medela one and i pumped directly to their bottle and then store it in the Dr Browns bottles. I found it easier this way since the medela bottles are the right ones for that machine but also to be sure that i did not mess with the pumping process.
