Can this be used to freeze breast milk?

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.

Yes, but I wouldn't use it straight from the freezer. Really tough mug, have chipped several porcelain plates by accidentally bouncing mug off them.

I use it to transport my smoothies from home to work and by the time I open the container for lunch, the smoothie is still frozen hard. So I can imagine that milk will stay cold for lunchtime.

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

yes. but you don't want to get the whole thing wet before you freeze it. just a corner. otherwise your baby will be soaked when it melts.

The temp is not adjustable. It varies only by room temp. I don't believe it would freeze soda pop. I have had milk in there, and it did not freeze.

I haven't used it for that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. There is a little lip on the outside edge, too, which would help prevent any spillage before the milk was frozen.

As far as storing your milk? I would think any kind. I used the ones from target and it worked well in the fridge but I never froze my milk since I had very little. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't see why not, wish i had thought of that,(DUH) it was delicious, but went off before i could use it all!!!Things with a lot of fat in them usually freeze well. i had bought the milk from the same maker, but in very small carton, perfect! thought this was the same size as the milk, didn't read close.

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

Yes, I use these to freeze liquids because they do not leak, so you can perfectly store breastmilk

Looking at the date of your question you may not need this answer any more but I was curious about freezing in the Medela bottles, too. I looked on the Medela website and they have the following posted "Flexible: Ideal for expressing, storing, freezing and feeding breastmilk".

Yes, you can use it for formula or breastmilk. On the package it even mentions using it to warm baby food in jars.

I don't see why not if you're using glass jars. However, if you really want to preserve the nutrition freezing is the best way.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

If you store the milk in bags, instead of bottles, the bags are best warmed in a bowl of warm water; this goes especially quick, if you store the bags lying flat. I breastfed, and hardly gave bottles, I used my warmer a couple of times, but found it to be unnecessary. Personal preference, I suppose. I had a number of different bottles that I tried, all of them fit in the warmer. Later, I used this a few times to heat up frozen food, it worked well, but I didn't stick with it.
