A cooling tube spends the night in your freezer, then slides into the insulated shell, where it sits between two 11oz bottles (22oz total). There's no loose ice and no meltwater, and Momcozy rates it to keep milk cold for 24 hours or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottles are food grade and BPA free, according to Momcozy, and they can become feeding bottles with Momcozy's nipples, which are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt needs a freezer the night before.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tube has to freeze for at least 12 hours.

Freshly pumped milk is fine at room temperature for up to 4 hours, in an insulated cooler with frozen ice packs for up to 24 hours, and in the fridge for up to 4 days. A cooler like this doesn't stretch those numbers. It just makes the 24-hour option easier to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you get home, the milk goes into the fridge or freezer, or it gets used. Write the time you pumped on each bottle. By evening it's hard to remember which session was which.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're adding freshly pumped milk to milk that's already cold, chill the new milk first and then combine them. Keeping them in the two separate bottles until both are cold is an easy way to do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure the tube is frozen solid before you leave. If it's gone soft, don't count on the full 24 hours, and get the milk somewhere cold soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMindy Motta, FNP-C\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can breast milk stay in a cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 24 hours, according to the CDC, if it's freshly pumped milk in an insulated cooler with frozen ice packs. Once you get where you're going, use it, put it in the fridge, or freeze it. In this cooler, the frozen tube does the job of the ice packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need ice packs with the Momcozy cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The cooling tube replaces them. Freeze it solid for at least 12 hours at around 0°F, then slide it into the shell between the bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the cooling tube need in the freezer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMomcozy recommends at least 12 hours at around 0°F. A freezer that runs warm, or a spot on the door shelf, can leave the center soft, and a soft tube won't hold for 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put warm, freshly pumped milk in the cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but keep it in its own bottle until it's cold. The CDC says to chill freshly pumped milk before combining it with milk that's already cold, and the two separate bottles make that easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fly with this breast milk cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The CDC notes you can carry more than 3.4 ounces of breast milk in your carry-on, along with ice and gel packs, and TSA screens it separately from other liquids. Tell the officer you're carrying breast milk when screening starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a breast milk cooler necessary, or will a cooler bag work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cooler bag works. The CDC's 24-hour guidance applies to any insulated cooler bag with frozen ice packs. What this one adds is convenience: no ice to manage, nothing to leak, and bottles that stand upright and can double for feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much milk does the Momcozy cooler hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e22oz in total, split between two 11oz bottles. If you pump more than that away from home, you'll need a second container, such as a cooler bag with storage bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMomcozy says the inner bottles can go in its bottle washer, or you can wash them by hand. Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and don't submerge the cooling tube. Keep the tube in the freezer between uses so it's ready next time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Momcozy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":72010602479754,"sku":"B0D3195F82","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1625\/2042\/files\/61qVJafeDlL.jpg?v=1794418428","url":"https:\/\/awaitingthestork.com\/products\/momcozy-portable-breast-milk-cooler-22oz","provider":"Awaiting the Stork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
