I have poured my pumped milk into (cleaned out) gatorade bottles before. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947687 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:01:40 +0000 Chuckles 1947687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure! A couple times I forgot lids and ran out to CVS to buy aluminum foil to cover the tops. I had to be super careful driving home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947426 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:10:56 +0000 autumnlove 1947426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947373 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:41:35 +0000 sunny 1947373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ok. I would just shake it out as best you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947270 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:59:41 +0000 Mama Bird 1947270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Done this, everything was fine! One time I didn't even have a bottle and put the milk in an empty paper cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947181 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:23:20 +0000 edelweiss 1947181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would totally do the same thing in your situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947176 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:21:42 +0000 avivoca 1947176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll be fine. I've had to do that in a pinch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947169 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:18:47 +0000 dagret 1947169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: i would do that. a lot of moms in my working pumping moms group on FB have done that w/no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947167 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:18:42 +0000 swurlygurl 1947167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, a little water mixed in will be fine!! I'm glad you have an alternative solution - losing 20 ounces would be devastating :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ah-no-lids#post-1947165 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:16:53 +0000 LBee 1947165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh... I forgot lids to my pumping bottles (x3). </p> <p>Is it cool to pour my milk into a water bottle? I poured all the water out of an unopened bottle, but couldn't get it 100% dry (obviously). I'm hoping it's not a problem that a little bit of water got mixed with the milk. I suppose I could throw the milk away for the day, but that would mean losing 20 ounces. </p> <p>Assuming that this water bottle system works, I'm thinking it's fine to mix cold and body-temperature milk just this once. </p> <p>Happy Monday, everyone! </p>
