#1: Milkies Milk Tray: Freeze your Breastmilk - 1 oz. stick
If you plan on breastfeeding, these silicone freeze trays are a must have! While you can easily get the plastic freeze bags for breastmilk, we highly suggest this instead! This is our pick versus plastic bags because it is made free of BPA, phtalates and dyes unlike plastic bags which can also transfer microplastics into your breastmilk. These tray has 8 slots that can accommodate 1 oz. in each slot. So you can freeze 1 oz bars and take out as many as you need for each feeding, making it easy to measure and easy to store. Also, did we mention you won't ever have to panic that you ran out of out of bags declaring an emergency trip to the store! Additionally, once your little one transitions out of breastmilk into purees', you can use the trays to freeze any homemade baby food you make. You can thank us later ;)
