Has anyone given their LO milk that is sold in those small juice boxes? I saw ones made by Horizon Organic at the grocery store but the idea that the milk doesn't need to be refrigerated seems strange to me. Thoughts?
-
I keep those in my desk drawer for mornings when I can't get breakfast.
They're ultrapasturized, just like the cartons sold in the dairy cases.
-
Its fine! I buy the chocolate milk ones for me. Once its opened it must be refrigerated.
-
I don't get those at all! I used to drink them when I was little. My mom would buy me the small chocolate milk ones!
-
oooh. I've never seen these, but it sounds just like the boxed milk that they sell in larger containers in Europe. It should be totally safe, and that is a great idea for bringing milk on an outing where you can't refrigerate. DD is a milk fiend, so I always try to find a way to get some milk for her.

Interesting! Maybe I'll buy some. We're traveling soon and they would be convenient to have for LO in the airport. I don't drink milk, and the concept of unrefrigerated milk is new to me. Thanks!
-
Totally safe! They do have a shorter expiration date though so keep an eye on them.
-
When we were in st Barth NONE of the milk wa refrigerated and it didn't expire until 12/13 which freaked me out until I realized Europe pasteurizes their cows milk differently which allows for a longer shelf life and no refridgeration. Totally normal.
-
Totally safe, and lots of milk in other countries is sold like that!
-
i buy them for myself. Trader Joe makes them too and they're a little cheaper (not sure if its organic though)
-
Forget Europe -- right here in Mexico none of our milk is refrigerated until it's open, organic, non organic or whatever. Tetrapaks are an amazing creation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapak

@bunnylove08: I'll definitely check TJ's, thanks! We feed LO their organic milk, hopefully they sell it in boxes too.
