Can you use this with breast milk?

I don't think it would make a difference if it was breast milk or formula. But honestly I think this is a waste of money, it takes way too long to heat up, it would be quicker to hold bottle under hot running water! I regretted this purchase.

Maggie...you can't, because you can't add your warm breast milk to cold breast milk (so I've read). What I do if I have a bag I want to fill more is I pump into a bottle, then put that in the fridge to cool and then when they are the same temperature in the fridge, dump the contents of the bottle into the bag.

I have another type of Ameda pump. But I think you can use this with Lactaline also. Check here: http://www.ameda.com/breastfeeding-products/single-user-breast-pumps/ameda-lactaline. You can also call their customer service no.

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.

Definitely. I use it for milk everyday in my son's lunch box. I include a small icepack (it's a stick shape) in his lunch box too, but it would probably be okay without it. Just be sure to clean it right away everyday. :-)

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 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 don't believe it can be used with anything that is carbonated. It works best with milk and juice.

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 you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

I should not even try it. Metals in microwave are dangerous. I heat the milk in a regular cup and then pour on the stainless steel cup

If you can find a recipe for it online, I don't see why not. I use regular milk but I have friends who use it to make vegan yogurt.

yes I think so. I've noticed that it is not as cool at around 7 -8 hours so I wouldn't push it much past 6 hours, especially with breast milk.

I haven't tried the regular gentle, but this one is formulated for moms who are also breastfeeding. But I'm not sure.
