yes, only two of them come in set though. Now that my baby is six months, I use them to store the daily baby food.

The Avent bottles for the quality of the materials can be used to store breast milk and should be frozen for a short period because natural is that babies be breastfed directly from mother to create emotional bonds and generate baby safety.

You can lock the mechanism that pushes the bag forward, so it won't smash the bags with the spring. That would allow you to store the non-frozen milk. I locked it in the freezer too.

Yes. I pump directly into the bags and then freeze. I label a gallon size freezer bag and store the milk in there. I suppose you can also wrote on the bags with a permanent marker.

I still store in bags. I suppose bags vs bottles depends on how much milk you're producing & how fast you go through it.

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.

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

No. You need special playtex liners for their bottles. this is only to storage milk in the fridge/ freezer.

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! It says you can freeze them on the inside of the label. The bottle also has plenty of extra space for the milk to expand when it freezes. It reads up to 5 oz. But when I'm just storing milk in the fridge, I can fit about 6 1/2 ounces in the bottle. :)

Yes but this is not harmful to the baby. I keep the bottles in the fridge after sterilize. Reviewing the above, wait 60 minutes for the bottles seems crazy.

I use other containers for freezer. Anyway, these are safe for use in freezer too. Here is what specification says: "Containers are safe for refrigerator and freezer use; however when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations the Container lid may lift due to changes in air pressure." http://www.oxo.com/download/GG_1071394_webinstruction.pdf

I would not freeze these bottles. Some glass canning jars are made specifically to withstand freezing. I don't remember anything stating these could be used in the freezer so I wouldn't.Edit: Now that I think about a bit. I did make some infused vodkas that I kept in the freezer without any problems. FWIW

I wouldn't recommend freezing them. They are great bottles but freezing plastic is not a good idea.

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.

Yes, it says on the bottle to keep refridgered. I didn't realize it for a couple of weeks but now they are in my fridge.

I don't refrigerate the bottles I have. I just keep them on my kitchen counter-top. They last a long time.

I think they can. I haven't tried it myself but the standard plastic bottles can be frozen. Not sure?
