Finally! An earth-friendly solution that keeps your milk safe without taking up your entire freezer or risking snagged bags and wasted milk. We never tire of making breastfeeding journeys easier for families! That's why we're so proud to introduce this patent-pending breastmilk freezer storage system that allows you to easily defrost just the right amount for feeding your baby. No more expensive, disposable plastic bags!
How It Works:
- Simply pour your fresh milk into the molds that hold 1/2 ounce each.
- Create up to 48 half-ounce cubes using three layered trays for easy, on-demand use.
- Keep it in the freezer and store additional cubes in the lower compartment until needed.
- Take out only as many cubes as the baby needs for the feeding, and put them directly into the bottle (each cube pops out easily due to the silicone flexible bottom surface, and fits easily into either wide or narrow-neck baby bottles).
- Warm your baby bottle as you normally would (Try using your Chiller as a bottle warmer)
- Sit back with your baby—no garbage and no cleanup besides washing the bottle when you're done.
- Comes with a Lifetime Warranty.
- For more details on using the Milkstache, see the User Guide.
* Although the outer chest of the Plum Milkstache is not dishwasher safe, the Milkstache Luxe chest is! Check out all the details on the fully-dishwasher safe option here.
Extra-Capacity Storage: Each Milkstache can store up to 34 oz of frozen milk without the trays, or 48 1/2 ounce cubes at the ready. The cubes fit in most standard teethers like Haakaa, Munchkin, Boon, The Nibbler and more.
Made from the highest quality materials: Lids and trays are made from pure platinum silicone. Plastic chest, tray sides and clasp lid are free of BPA, lead, PVC and phthalates.
Use it For A Lifetime: When you're through with your breastfeeding journey, keep enjoying your MilkStache for frozen baby foods or for your own fruit-infused cubes to make water a little more fun and beautiful.

Customer Reviews
I got this as a gift. The Milkstache Freezing System has some handy features, like making half-ounce milk cubes. When paired with a bottle warmer, it’s super convenient to just grab the amount you need and heat it up. Plus, it’s reusable, which saves you from throwing away tons of milk storage bags.
On the downside, I found it hard to fill a tray with just one pumping session. Also, I use Dr. Browns anti-colic bottles, and I can only fit about 4-5 cubes in the bottle, which isn’t quite enough since my little one is eating 3-3.5 ounces. Another issue is that the milk doesn’t stay level when moving the trays, no matter how careful you are. One of the silicone lids I received was too long for the tray, creating a large bubble in the middle, so it’s not airtight.
While I don’t think I’ll use this system for milk in the long run, I can see it being more useful when my baby transitions to solids.

I love that I can quickly grab a few cubes if I don’t have enough pumped for the next day. I’m a little bummed that one lid doesn’t fit because it’s too big and it doesn’t line up with the tray but other than that, the two I can use are awesome!
Hey Emily! I am so glad you're loving your milkstash. Please reach out to us at info@cereschill.com with your order information. We want to help you get your lid fixed right away!

When in the container, did take longer to freeze, but great otherwise.
Wish we would have had this for our firstborn. Easy to use and love that it gives you 1/2 oz sizes
Really cute product, well made and well intentioned but some issues have made me use it less than I anticipated.
- Takes a lot longer to thaw compared to the plastic bags. This is just due to the smaller surface area and wouldn't be an issue if you were thawing overnight, but I had hoped to be able to thaw a half ounce quickly to top up a bottle but it doesn't really work that way.
- As mentioned in another review, they're not really half oz cubes, it's less. You're supposed to not fill the tray completely to prevent overflow, but then you're probably getting 0.4 oz cubes or less. This doesn't actually get in the way of feeding your baby, but the volumes can be a bit misleading if you don't account for this.
- I found it a little unwieldy pouring the milk into the tray so would wait until I had a full 8 oz to pour it in so I would have an even layer, which was somewhat inconvenient.
- While the trays are dishwasher safe, at least in my dishwasher there was some residue left that I had to rewash.
Overall I have found the plastic bags more convenient to use because they're quicker to thaw and I don't have to worry about washing them or a messy transfer process. For environmental friendliness Milkstache is definitely a win, I just personally found it enough extra hassle that I have only used it for 1 batch of milk (24 oz). Hoping to give it new life when we work on solid foods.
