The milk itself was cold enough from coming out of the fridge. So as long as I kept it insulated, it kept cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866696 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:05:54 +0000 LaineysMom 866696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use an ice pack. I never know what will happen and I hate having to dump milk.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866588 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:10:10 +0000 cascademom 866588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a bag called Pack It with built ice packs. I used one to transport breast milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866560 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:00:50 +0000 MsInformation 866560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My commute is a little longer than that, 45-50 minutes door to door, and I use an ice pack just in case my train gets stuck somewhere. I also find that the contoured ice pack that comes with the Medela pump is handy for keeping the bottles upright, so I'm less worried about accidental spillage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866535 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:45:03 +0000 katsupgirl 866535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My commute is about the same time and I use an ice pack. Never know what could happen that might extend your commute unexpectedly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866510 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:33:58 +0000 dolphin 866510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette: thanks! God point about being hot out. I have ice packs so I'll start using them too. I haven't since commute is short but maybe this will keep milk even fresher. I noticed my milk goes bad in 3 days. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866399 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:41:21 +0000 Smurfette 866399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bag should be fine. I use ice packs since it is so hot out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-breastmilk#post-866368 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:29:40 +0000 dolphin 866368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump at work and leave my milk in the fridge. My commute from work to home is about 30 minutes. Do I need to store my bottles with an ice pack or can I just toss them in a regular bag until I get home since its a short travel time? </p>
