will it keep dairy products cold enough so not to spoil?

Not sure, but I have kept it in my car all day in 90 degree weather w/windows up and it still had ice in it.

Yes. These keeps liquids cold for 12+ hours. I actually filled mine with ice water one afternoon and took it to the gym. Upon my arrival at home, however, I forgot to take my Bubba Sport inside. The next day, the water was still cold and there was still a fair amount of ice remaining!

Depends on the time frame, and I have not tried dairy. I would think it could go 8 hours at least though.

Yep it should without a problem. I put ice water in and the cubes last all day

It probably depends on it you put ice in it. My ice water keeps ice in it at least 6 hours. I never use it without ice so I hope I helped in some way. It also depends if it is in a hot environment. But it does have good insulation. :)

I use my Bubba cup everyday. I fill it with ice and water and the ice is still there for no day's! I would say yes to dairy products since they will be cold to begin with. Love my Bubba cup!

Yes. The box, the bottle label, and the package insert all say to refrigerate it. That means for storage. Having it unrefrigerated during shipping is not a big deal, and you don't need to worry about it when you take it with you on travel. It's not going to be ruined like milk if it's unrefrigerated for a few days.

No, the lid is not insulated. However, the cooler is large enough to accommodate quite a lot of frozen material to the amount of milk you are likely to transport for a day's use for one baby. For me, personally, this cooler used with several frozen-solid water bottles would keep anything cold enough to be used with confidence later the same day. But only you can judge what is acceptable for your baby.

It will more than likely stay cold, especially if you prechill the thermos with ice cold water or in the freezer and/or add ice to your milk. The issue that some people have brought up is the possibility of bacteria when milk is not kept at the appropriate temperature.Personally I have not kept straight milk in the thermos, but I have kept iced coffee with milk for over 10 hours and still drank it. I would, however, suggest that you look up information on milk before decided if there is risk doing such a thing, and what any risks may entail so that you do not end up ill.

yes, if you want it to remain effective and not spoil. As with any product containing oil, if not refrigerated it will ago rancid faster.

Yes. We used it for milk and it did leak after a couple of months because the gasket did not stay tight. However, for things like cottage cheese and yoghurt, it was fine.

I think so. I've kept small bottles of milk and small yogurt containers in it, though never for longer than three or four days.

Sorry, I have not tried that. I put sandwiches and fruit in it and those stay cold.

I guess it depends how big the milk bags are. But when I traveled it was a 7 hour trip and I pumped and stored my milk in the cooler. I was cold when I got to my destination. As long as the blue pack is frozen, anything you put in there will stay cold. Hope this was helpful.

There are no "special" freezers, however, the type of freezer can determine how long frozen milk is good for. For instance, on the door of the freezer part of your refrigerator doesn't stay as cold as a chest freezer, although they both keep the milk frozen. So, if you have a stand alone freezer, it can keep milk for closer to a year opposed to a few months. As for keeping other food in it, that's totally fine- although I'd recommend keeping it in its own little bin or organizer just to keep it safe from falling or being punctured by other items (especially if you're using bags).

I bought this for my husband at Christmas . This winter it was partially freezing his Pepsi that were put in at room temp. I think that it would be safe for breast milk

We only use ours for water and soda etc. It would fit a gallon of milk and it has frozen our soda once or twice so it would keep it cold enough.

Ice packs definitely help keep items cold. None are included. I use mine as an adult lunch box, holds plenty

You can easily stack 10 (flat) frozen bags in this cooler. Maybe one or two more. But I wouldn't use it to store frozen bags for very long. I don't think it would keep the milk cold enough to keep from thawing.

I've only used it for pureed food so far. I wouldn't use it for breastmilk since the lid doesn't close air tight and some frost will get into the container.

We used this on our 4 month old (with the advice of our pediatrician - you need to talk to your dr). We refrigerate after opening the box but keep extra boxes in our pantry. We only use with cold milk so as not to kill the good stuff.
