> 24 hourI loved this cooler so much when I first bought it two months ago that I bought another one immediately. Now that I have been using it every day for these two plus months it is time to write a review. The size is nice and compact, it fits 4 medela brand bottles (5oz size only, the 8oz bottle does NOT fit in this cooler) without the teats attached ( I have had success placing 2 bottles with their teats but the zipper feels like it might break). I mostly use the cooler at home (as I am an exclusive pumper) - I only give my 7 month old freshly expressed BM and since the weather has been turning warmer I prefer to keep the milk in the cooler than on the counter. I do not keep it in the fridge as I do not like warming it up again for a feed- the temperature in the cooler is not cold enough for the fat to curdle and my baby accepts it straight from the cooler so its less work for me. Now that the weather is constantly in the 90s, I find that this cooler only stays cool enough for around 6 hours. I bought extras of the blue block and have to replace it around the clock. I do not know how long it will last if placed in a car in the hot sun for instance. The block also sweats (condensation) and is constantly wet. I wish they would make the bag a little large in order to accommodate bottles with their collars and teats attached but otherwise this product is really handy and works well for us.

> 24 hourI love this! I exclusively pump and this works great for when I pump while out and need to store it. There are even nights I will put a bottle in it next to my bed so I don’t have to go all the way to the kitchen to get my daughter a bottle haha. The ice pack stays cold for probably 10-12 hours if not more! Definitely recommend. It has been a life saver.

> 24 hourGreat set up definitely stays cool. I will say one of the bottles broke after 2 uses they weren’t dropped I believe it cracked from the bottle warmer but all of my other bottles and storage containers from this brand have held on I think it was just a faulty one.

> 24 hourThis cooler makes all others seems weak in comparison. We sent breast milk and formula to the daycare on a daily basis. With this cooler, she does not need to worry about cooling the milk. Even after 10 hours, the ice pack is still mostly frozen and the whole pack is cold. I clipped a carabiner so it easily clips to the diaper bag. I usually send one bottle and then the medela bottles. I started with using the medela bottles but switched to Avent instead. To my surprise, the Avent 4 oz bottles fit just fine, even with the travel caps on. My only wish is they made a taller one so I could send the tall 8oz bottles.

> 24 hourThis is super easy for me to use for pumping at work. I dont even stick it in the fridge while at work, as the ice pack stays cold all day (you need to keep the cooler zipped up at all times) - and when I get home I just pull out my chilled milk and put in the fridge. I have a bag that I carry this in back and forth, I guess my only gripe would be that it needs a little handle on the top in case I were to want to carry it on its own instead of in a bag. Also, its great if you only need to pump twice while out, but I know some people need to pump three times and in which case, it doesnt store more than 4 bottles so it wouldnt be ideal in those situations. But for me its perfect and Id recommend!

> 24 hourThe kit is a nice idea for traveling but the bottles sucks. We saw others’ reviews on the bottle marking fading issue but thought we could avoid it by gently washed the outside (like very very gently). These bottles faded much quicker than the original Medela bottles that came with our pump. Very disappointed

> 24 hourLa pila cobija los teteros perdurando la temperature para grandes distancias de traslado de la leche.El maletin es practico, los teteros evitan paso de leche de un recipiente a otro, solo debo colocar el chupo y listo. Es a prueba de fugas y sus tapas son practicas. El producto llegó en buen estado y en los tiempos establecidos. Lo recomiendo
