May be a silly question...but anyone ever think of freezing breast milk in these?

I've read about doing that. Not something I would have thought of but I've heard it's a good alternative to other liquids.

Safe? Yes, they are made for baby's milk/formula. They can be a bit difficult to fit on the bottle and sometimes leak around the cap. We have never frozen milk on them but I don't think they were meant for that and I don't think they'll hold up anyway.

I didn't use milkies, but you can definitely save milk. I have over 400 oz frozen from these. No pumping!! They are just little plastic discs- hole in the middle for nipple- with a dome cover. There is an air hole that will leak if you bend over too far or collect over an ounce and a half. I didn't mind much though. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. I went for these instead of milkies because of the price!

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.

Sort of. I have to freeze them flat first, and then slide them in at a sort of diagonal. An ice cube container works just as well, if not better, to be honest. The only bags that work well with this system are the First Years milk storage bags.

Yes!!!! I used these for freezing over 600 oz of breastmilk. I didn't store BM in them long term. Once the milk was frozen, I popped the cubes out and stored either in a vacuum sealed bag (highly recommend this for long term), or a zippy freezer bag. Then they were placed in a deep freeze and some stored for up to 5 months. I never had any problem with milk quality. The vacuum sealed bags make the cubes stick together a bit as they are pressed onto one another, especially when stored for a few months, but a quick smack on a counter top broke them up well.

You can freeze them if you also purchase the Playtex Drop-Ins Breastmilk Storage Kit.

I never thought about it but I think so. They are the same bottles as these, and it says they are freezer safe: http://www.amazon.com/Ameda-Breast-Storage-Bottles-Ounce/dp/B003TJAGAS I put my bottles in the freezer regularly (without milk in them) so I can just pull the whole carrying case out of the freezer in the morning and go, and have noticed any deterioration of the bottles.

No, these containers are not for freezing. You would use the foodsaver bags for that.

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 have. I pump several times a day and have since my 7-month old was born. We have TONS freezer bags filled with these milk sticks. I double bag them, one freezer bag inside of the other. They are quite easy to remove from the bag and do not stick together. It is very easy to snap the frozen sticks in half, also. I do not have any experience with milk bags but my husband and I are very happy with the trays and will use them for the next baby, too.

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I don't see why you can't. The great thing is that you would know exactly how much breast milk you have since it's 1 oz increments. The only downside I can think of is that the trays are really big, meant to store a lot so if you aren't pumping a lot, it's a waste of a lot of space. I guess you could take the lid off at each pumping and pour in the new milk and put it back in the freezer and empty it at the end of the day.

I bought this for my husband at Christmas . This winter it was partially freezing his Pepsi that were put in at room temp. I think that it would be safe for breast milk

I can't speak to hot, but with an ice pack or two, they'll definitely keep them cold. (I flew recently and store-bought ice packs are allowed with formula or breastmilk)

I do not have a direct answer but if I froze them I would open them and dump them out in a ice cube tray and freeze them that way. Reason being I am not sure that the plastic container is designed to be frozen? or rated to be frozen. Just my 2 cents maybe some one will chime in their thoughts to help answer your question.
