I am planning to use it to store express breast milk. How long can the milk stay cold?

On its own, it doesn't keep things cold very long. I put a couple of the 'blue ice' blocks in and that keeps things cold all day.

I used this for the same purpose. It is large enough for a few ice packs (at least six cola cans), so it would last a work day. Also fits my pump parts connected to five-ounce bottles. I kept it in the fridge also. Would fit my lunch. Soft sides were nice because I could put different container sizes in it from day to day. Still loving it!

It is wide open. I don't think it can be used to keep things cold/warm. It was the perfect bag for me to put a lunch bowl, an Ipad and few fruits in there though.

The composition of milk is easy to spoil.It can not be placed for a long time.So it is not recommended to send milk in it to daycare.About the Stainless Mug,there is a lock, it's easy and safe to open.Heat Retention: 187▫F(86▫C)@1hr，154 643;F(68▫C)@6hrs.Cold Retention: 48▫F(9▫C)@6hrs.

Though I never used it for breast milk storage...so I'm not sure. Each cube is 1oz (my little one drinks 6 ozs bottles, so wouldn't be worth storing it that way). If you were using it to store breast milk to mix with cereal or something...then it would work good. Just not sure why else you would store breast milk in this size.

I suppose you could as long as its very snug against your breast at all times and as long as you dont mind the milk not being refrigerated right away. I dont do it because i toss and turn alot & I think it would leak out.

I've only used it for pureed food so far. I wouldn't use it for breastmilk since the lid doesn't close air tight and some frost will get into the container.

Yes. I've used it to freeze breast milk (short term) as well as fruit, veggie, and meat purées (long term). They are exactly 1 oz cubes so you know what baby is getting. Only downside is that the cubes don't fit into most bottle openings if you plan to defrost them in the bottle. In that case, I'd put what I needed in mason jars and defrost it that way and then put it in baby's bottle.

If you had ice packs in with the bags of milk, yes you could do two days. However without ice packs I wouldn't store milk in it for more than a few hours especially in hot temperatures.

I fill 2 or 3 water bottles 3/4 of the way and freeze them. They keep everything cold four hours. They keep everything dry and at the end of the day you sill have cold water to drink. Test it once with regular milk just to be safe.

I wish I could help you. My Danby is in an office and keep milk very cold, but temps here don't get above 74. Before I bought my unit, I did see some other reviews where the owners kept the fridge in a garage or workshop and none complained about temp. But again, I wouldn't know from personal experience. Good luck!!

I can answer the first two--yes, milk container stores well in fridge, and coffee temp is hot enough. Don't have a plus so don't know how the programming compares--you can adjust the volumes of coffee/espresso dispensed. Includes the machine, the milk jug, a sample pack of a few Nespresso pods, and an attachment for hot water in place of the milk jug.

Our son takes his funtainer bottle filled with water to school and keeps it on his desk to drink throughout the day. These bottles are amazing- I wash the bottles and while they are still wet I place them in the freeze the night before and in the morning we fill it with water and/or milk for his lunch box. It keeps his water/milk cold for about 6- 8 hours. Milk/water does stay very cold. It does sweat a little, so his teacher usually places a paper towel under it. We have used these funtainer bottles for 3 years and are very pleased with the results. Hope this helps:)

Yes you can put remaining unused milk back in the fridge and it will still be cold. The machine is only going to steam and froth the amount of milk necessary for the particular drink the user asks the machine to make.

Milk lasts fresh for about 3 or 4 days as it is not as cold as a refrigerator. Make sure you rinse out the hose that connects to the coffee machine after each use ( it only takes a few seconds) otherwise it can go sour in the tube. If you are doing at least two milk drinks per day, milk should stay fresh until all used up. If you haven't used it for a couple of days, or if the milk level is low, check before use as it can turn sour.

I havent had much luck keeping my food as cold as it should be for the price. Have had to replace the ice packs and buy my own and some days I use 4 ice packs. I wouldnt think of carrying milk around since my yogurt gets a little cooler than room temp rather quickly.

I've had mine for close to a year and no signs of wear or tear yet. I used them strictly for storing and freezing breast milk. They are pretty sturdy so I would imagine they would last a pretty long time as long as they are used properly.

I'm not sure - I did not keep this warmer but frozen milk bags thaw best and very quickly putting them in a cup and running warm water in it for a few minutes.

Are you heating formula or breastmilk? Also, depends on if it is cold or not. For breastmilk out of the fridge I have my warmer set at 3:25, it comes out perfect every time. I think with formula you will have to warm it longer, but not sure. You would have to play around with it. To make sure it heats consistently every time, make sure you clean it every few weeks and your warmer will work great. Also, there is a list on the back of the warmer for a guide on how long milk/food take to heat.
