Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Milk Trays - breast milk freezing system designed to freeze expressed breast milk in single-ounce servings. Frozen milk will then fit through any bottle opening. Milk Trays are made from a reusable, medical-grade, Bisphenol-A FREE plastic! Using Milk Trays eliminate the waste associated with nurser bags - only use the ounces you need to use for each feeding. Milk Trays are reusable - a more cost-effective means for moms to freeze their "liquid gold".
Customer Reviews
I use it, but I wish it were better
I use these trays exclusively for freezing my breastmilk. I like the flexibility of having 1 oz sticks of milk. The plastic trays are BPA free and easy to clean. HOWEVER, there are some serious design flaws as noted by the other reviews - the biggest problem is that the tray lids don't fit tightly, so milk is easily spilled. I use Dr. brown's bottles and find I can fit four sticks in without starting to break them. More than that and I have to break them to fit them in.
Should have listened to the negative reviewers
After reading the reviews here I opted to buy these trays despite the complaints about the lids not fitting tightly. I really do like the concept, and the sales reps at my local maternity store indicated they had not heard any complaints about them so I figured I would just try them and be careful with handling.
What I found was that the lids fit great the first time you use the trays, but after one freezing cycle, good luck on ever getting them to snap fully closed again. I was super careful when moving the trays with ill-fitting lids, but I would venture to say that it is nigh impossible to keep from having some degree of spilt milk while transferring from kitchen counter to freezer. The trays wound up being more of a pain than they were worth, especially since you cannot put them in the dishwasher either. (Ironically the literature says that to do so will warp them - gee, I guess they forgot to mention that they would get warped in the freezer??) I soon discontinued using these trays. Instead, I ordered 2.5 oz Medela storage bottles and they work great in the freezer and are a convenient size to defrost.
I may try these trays again when it's time to freeze pureed foods - at least they won't spill like milk.
Nice concept, poor design
I like the idea of these 1 oz sticks, but as the previous reviewer mentioned, they didn't execute it very well.
The lids do not snap on securely, which results in spills when not carried with extreme care. I had a couple of lids break at the corners, and the others just don't snap shut at all. We also can't fit more than 2 sticks at a time in the bottles we use. Fortunately, since we have in-home childcare, we can use a wider bottle to defrost the milk and then pour it into the feeding bottle.
We still use these, because I find it much easier to keep track of milk pumped and drunk in one-ounce increments, and we can vary the amount defrosted based on the baby's feeding rate that day.
I hope that the company redesigns these as a better quality product. I really do like the concept.
