And they've stayed cold for a while. I use the one that came with my Medela PIS pump and it works really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ice-pack-position-and-type#post-220847 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:45:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 220847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it too much for just that short period of time. I found some thin ice packs from target (2/$2) and they are thin so they don't stay cold really long but do the job </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ice-pack-position-and-type#post-220839 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:39:59 +0000 Mrsbells 220839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh ok thanks.<br /> @Thehistoryofus: My commute is about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ice-pack-position-and-type#post-220690 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:12:57 +0000 prettylizy 220690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use the bag and ice pack that came with my pump. I've had bags of frozen milk stay frozen in there for 4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ice-pack-position-and-type#post-220679 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:06:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 220679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far is your commute? My milk is only out of the fridge for maybe 30-40 minutes total (by the time we pack it in the morning till its put in the fridge at daycare). We use a small ice back that sits between the bottles. I don't know that I would buy a special contoured one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ice-pack-position-and-type#post-220669 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:57:38 +0000 Mrsbells 220669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What type of icepack do you use when you transport milk? And do you place it at the bottom of the bag? Thats what I was planning to do but I was told that since warm air rises the ice pack should be at the top of the cooler bag.<br /> I have two enfamil ice packs that I got from the hospital and my pediatrician, Do I need to buy the contoured ice pack as well? </p>
