When thawing the milk, can I fit more than one (1 oz.) stick in a typical bottle at a time? We currently are using 4 oz bottles.

I do it. Sometimes I have to cut the frozen milk in half so it will fit, And it fits

For smaller bottles, it's pretty easy to break them in half to fit a couple. Right now I'm using 9 oz bottles, and I can fit 4 in at a time. If I need to thaw milk quickly, I usually just stick however many ounces I need in a large thermos and let it sit in hot water for a little while until it's melted enough to pour into the bottle (and then I use a bottle warmer to warm it all the way). Hope that helps!

It depends how wide the bottle is no matter how many oz it is some are still skinny. they are also too long for some bottels but its l easy to tap it with a meat tenderiser while its in a storage bag then the pieces fit fine and you still know how much your thawing out which helps you from wasting milk.

Yes you can fit about 4 sticks in a typical avent bottle and sometimes a right squeeze in the natural bottles from avent.

Depends on the size of the opening of the bottle. Also I think 4 oz would be too short.

It depends on the width of the opening and the height of the bottle. I use the 4oz Ameda bottles that come with the breast pumps and Parents Choice bottles.

We used the Dr. Brown 4oz bottles, but the mouth was too small for even one stick to fit into, so we had to move up to the 8oz bottles. In the 8oz bottles, we could easily fit 4 sticks in. For a 4oz bottle, you just need to have a wide mouth bottle to fit them.

Hi, Good question. The fact is that the 2 oz jars are the perfect size for standard bottle warmers and I've been doing so but unfortunately the 4 oz does not fit in anyway and that disappointed me a lot because these jars are great but the company didn't keep the basic thing in mind making this great product. A big flaw! And now I'm switching to Avent food storage cups. They are versatile can fit in any bottle warmer plus they have 2 big sizes which means great utility. I hope my answer would be helpful to you.

This container is much larger than ones available in the grocery store. If you want to make several batches, this is a better choice. If you want to make one batch and be done, get the one that is smaller.

I usually use about 1/4 of the bottle at a time. I love this stuff and it really does well.

Mine had two bottles, two nipples, and two caps, but I never used them. The measurements on the side of the bottle were wrong and the nipples had a strange stickiness to them. Plus, They look very cheap, so I simply poured the milk into a different container.

They're like other bottles so don't see why not. Think oh able done couple times but usually just use for breastmilk storage to freeze my milk. Also, the top is the ring and disc so if wanted could just remove disc and insert nipple to use like a regular bottle.

You can, but it makes 2 pints at a time. Normal ice cream recipes will make 2-3 pints.

It is possible, but I think there is more of a chance of leaks. I still pour the milk from the Lasinoh bags (or another freezer equivalent) into the Playtex dropins after the milk defrosts. Yes, this makes you use two bags, but I'd rather not loose any breastmilk!!

Yes I took one out for a larger bottle but they take up quite a bit of space U may want a larger cooler if u have more than a few larger bottles . Hope this helps

I have never tried making that size of a an Ice Cream but I don't see why not . I have only made 1 -1 1/2 Quarts Batches. which is a perfect size for me It lasts a while to.

I bought these bottles for my daughter so I checked with her. She says there is headroom probably for 5 ounces, but both of us wonder if filling the bottles that full of milk would interfere with the self-venting process, which allows the baby to drink smoothly without inhaling a lot of air. We think that it would be better to buy the 8-oz. size and just put in the desired number of ounces.

Well it says to use 1 ounce per gallon but I used the whole bottle and a 70% water,30%coolant mix but you can use 50/50.Although as a mechnic depending on your location if its hot like Florida but never goes below freezing.I always say use this product with a 70/30 mix but somewhere where temps get warm and go below freezing uses 50/50 and 1 bottle of this product

Definitely. They freeze in one ounce cubes so you'd just take out however many cubes you'd like to unthaw such as 3 for a 3 ounce bottle. I remove them quickly though once they are frozen and put them in an airtight container or freezer bag because you don't want freezer burn.

Never tried making half a batch in my 1 pint size, but i don't see why you couldn't. You're just using a whole canister of g as on half a bottle of cream.

I use half a bottle and it does the trick for me. Occasionally if it has been a bad day, I will use 1 whole bottle. And I find that I do not need it every night -- it does not seem to be habit forming. Shop around because the price varies but in any case it is not cheap. Hope this helps.

I would not freeze milk in these. You can freeze your milk in storage bags and thaw them to put into the bottles.
