Can you put breastmilk in it?

hmmm. you probably "could" but these are ice cube size ... what would you do with that much breast milk?
772026
I haven't ever tried it, but I think that you could. I would probably freeze them in the tray and then pop the cubes out and store them in a good freezer bag.

I've only used it for pureed food so far. I wouldn't use it for breastmilk since the lid doesn't close air tight and some frost will get into the container.

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.

I freeze baby food in them and then put in the microwave so I would say yes. I wouldn't advise boiling them though however. For breastmilk....the bags actually work better as you can lay them flat. That's what I used and it worked great.

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.

Yes it is! I would carry bottles of breast milk with ice packs around them and then use this to hear up the milk. You just dropped the bottle into the hot water and it was ready to go in less than 5 min! It was a life saver!

they come with the lid for the nipples and the bottle cap I think you would be able to store breast milk in it

Yes. I've mixed it with both breast milk and formula and have had no issues. Also it didn't matter whether the milk was cold or warmed.

Depends on what size storage cups you are referring to, though highly likely since it is amply wide enough to fit regular bottles. Our Medela breast milk storage cups would easily fit in it. Though I am still wary of heating plastics so I only use glass bottles to heat breast milk in.

I don't see why not. I used to mix breastmilk for my first child -- back then, I just used 2 oz to 2oz in a 4 oz bottle. If you have enough to justify using the pitcher, sure you could. Currently, I mix 32 oz of formula in this pitcher for an entire day of bottles (4). It's used the same way as a bottle -- you measure the water first, then add the appropriate amount of powdered formula. The end result produces more milk than the amount you wanted due to the displacement of water by the powder. If I were mixing formula with breastmilk, i'd first mix the water and powder to make however much formual you want, then add the breastmilk and mix. I don't see why not.

Yes, the shelf comes out. You should be able to put an ordinary pint of milk in there without removing the shelf if you get the kind in the waxed cardboard containers. If it's in a bottle, you might have to remove the shelf, but it should still fit unless it's the shape of a long-neck beer bottle.

yes, you can. I always put a drop into a breastmilk bottle to feed my baby.

They have a kit to do this - it's awesome. I think this is it: Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)There is also an adapter to pump directly into the bags.

I do not recommend it. You don't want to mix different temperature breastmilk into the same container. For instance if you pumped 1 ounce put it in the fridge and then you pump again an hour or so later, you have to refrigerate the newly pumped milk and then you could mix it together once they have both been in the fridge. I would use a new bag for each time you pump.

These trays are made specifically to freeze milk in a shape that would fit perfectly through the mouth of a baby bottle. I wouldn't try to use baby food trays for breast milk for that reason but you may be able to use these for baby food when you're done with freezing milk.

It isn't meant for you to breastfeed in. It is just a carrier. It's a comfortable way to carry your baby hands-free.

i'm sure they can but playtex sells bottles that are called drop-ins and i believed are angled as well that are used for breast milk. however the bottom do remove from these bottles so i am sure you can use breast milk in them.

I think that you can but I did wait until my boys were 1 y/o before giving it to them. The company says toddler formula not because it lacks nutrition (compare with other brands infant formula and everything should look the same or very similar) but rather because they believe breast milk is best for infants under the age 1. Its completely up to the parents comfort level. The company is very responsive so can contact them and ask.
