Medela Breast Pump Bag

Product Information

Not to mention that it will keep your breast milk cold until you get home and put it in the fridge or freezer. As you might guess from the name, a baby bottle cooler bag is an insulated bag designed to hold and keep cold baby bottles within a cooler temperature range. If there are other breastfeeding workers at your office, make sure there is a way to label your cooler so it doesn’t get confused with anyone else’s. The unique pouch strap feature on the inside of the lid is a great addition, keeping breast milk pouches upright and preventing leaks. BUT, you won’t always be allowed to bring it as carry on if it is frozen – this depends on the country you are leaving from and their security rules.

Before choosing a breast milk cooler, think about your budget, how long you plan to be expressing or pumping, and how you will be using the cooler.Also, never use a microwave to heat up formula or breast milk, as it can reduce the nutritional content and heat the milk unevenly. Do you have a strong preference for a thermos style, or are you open to whichever kind of cooler best suits your needs? You want to make sure the bag has enough insulation to keep your breast milk fresh and at the proper temperature until you get home.

But it's awkward to lug around a too-big container, and other insulated bags may either be too small or shaped wrong to keep your bottles upright. The interior lining is heat-sealed, making it especially easy to clean should there be a leak from your bottle. It’s designed for four 5-ounce bottles (which are included), so if you’re headed out for a full day adventure or have a baby who loves their milk, this may not hold as much as you’d like. This cooler comes with an insulated front pocket, mesh side pockets and water and stain repellent material that wipes clean easily.While I’m sure that most moms have bags in their closet big enough to fit a pump and a cooler, this specially designed bag has compartments that are made with pumping moms in mind. There is a small clear pocket on the front of the cooler so you can insert a name tag, and there are six different designs from which to choose.

Making sure your reusable ice pack is frozen and packed in your cooler bag each day is a hassle, and it's all too easy to forget. However, the only bottles that will fit in the bag are the mini feeding bottles you see in hospitals. Unlike other breast milk coolers, this model doesn’t come with its own ice pack, so make sure to purchase one separately. L. Childress MaxiCOOL model will fit as many as 4 bottles (8-ounce size) while staying compact enough to fit inside your tote or backpack. Even if you are using wider bottles, you will be able to take 3 with you (8-ounces) which is pretty good considering that many coolers just weren’t made with such bottles in mind.Designed by Moms: The cooler features a top carrying handle and a zippered closure to lock in cool, dry air. You can pick between 4 color options, but I am quite partial to the black and white stripes design (although the purple one comes a close second!
