I freeze my milk and baby food into ice cube trays then bag them, could you pull a bag with cubes out of this?

I don't think it would fit very well and I think you would only get 3-4 bags in one tray that way, at best.

No, I don't think that'd work well with this since the opening barely fits a flat bag of frozen milk.

Probably not. The opening isn't small & great for the bm, but I can't imagine the rack itself being big enough to accommodate bags with frozen cubes.

I have never tried that. What I do is leave a bag/s of frozen milk overnight in the fridge to slowly thaw. I then empty in bottle the next day and then warm it as I need. If I need the frozen bag ASAP, I gently thaw under warm running water. Empty into bottle and warm in the warmer.

My answer would be 'No' b/c there would be no way from spilling the milk when you tipped the bag. There's no seal around adaptor, the bag zip-locks shut.

Yes. Take caution in shuffling around in the freezer as other frozen items will pop this bag. These work great but I would imagine a vacuum seal would be better for a long term freeze (more than a month).

Yes you can. I just spoon the yogurt into an ice cube tray, freeze it, pop out the cubes of yogurt then into the machine. Works great.

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.

These trays are made specifically to freeze milk in a shape that would fit perfectly through the mouth of a baby bottle. I wouldn't try to use baby food trays for breast milk for that reason but you may be able to use these for baby food when you're done with freezing milk.

I don't think that would work. The best way to do baby food portions is in a regular ice tray or popsicle mold. About the dozenth time I use this to make ice, there were cracks in the blue cylinder. I guess it couldn't stand up to the power of frozen water. Wouldn't recommend this again.

Yes. This one is perfect: Bottle Cooler Bag and Ice Packs for Breastmilk Storage. Can Fit Into Medela Pump-in-style Carry Bag, and Can Hold Upto 5 Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags

Yes you can. Spectra Baby USA has milk storage bags and extra bottles but you can use anything that fits or works best for your needs.

We like to use the store bought ice bags since we usually use it for larger gatherings. We have used freezer made ice cubes as well.

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.

I haven't used it for breast milk as I use the storage bags. I would probably suggest using it to freeze the milk then transfer the cubes into an airtight container. I wouldn't use for long term because they don't have an airtight seal. Hope that helps!

I don't know for sure, I have only used ice packs. It seems too thin of a bag to use with ice cubes.

Yes....I just popped the whole container in a freezer....use ice cream scoop to use as needed

We have done that, but it hasn't gone out on us yet. We've owned one for quite some time. We just put in a bag so we could have ice cubes.

Probably. But remember, as per there instructions, you cannot 'breakup' the ice while in bag. The bag may rip. so be sure that you use the frozen water in bag just as it has formed. For are first bag we dropped on floor to make the bag/ice formation more to our liking. The ice tore a small hole in bag.
