Babies do not eat the exact same amount of breastmilk every time they are hungry. Adjusting to the differences with each of my children was the hard part when I was first learning how to breastfeed. After four babies, learning as I went, even all four babies ate differently.
Some are nighttime snackers, some prefer a few long feeds cat napping in between, so breastmilk storage that fits each baby’s needs makes breastfeeding more successful and helps you waste less breastmilk. It is liquid gold!
I share my tips for breastfeeding after nursing each of my four babies. But, the ease of traveling with breastmilk or breastmilk storage options were all the same. It was messy and often milk would get wasted because sometimes you thaw much more than your baby needs in that feeding session,
The key to no wasted breastmilk is Boobcube. The First Drop Kit is a wonderful breastfeeding starter pack for any new mom. If you are a breastfeeding newbie or an expert, take a look at the convenience Boobcube adds to your life.

Boobcube Sustainable Breastmilk Storage for Less Wasted Breastmilk
This unboxing video will show you all the items in the Boobcube First Drop Kit. Then, I will share my Boobcube review of all the parts to help you as a nursing mama. Use code SAHM10 to save 10% too!
First, the canteen is made of flexible silicone. It is how to store breast milk without plastic. You can toss it into your diaper bag with your breast pump for on-the-go milk storage. Or use it at home while nursing to capture the let down from the side baby is not feeding on.
Then, you can use the reusable breastmilk storage trays to measure out small portions of milk. This allows you to capture and freeze milk in specific amounts for eco-friendly lactation. That will give you peace of mind knowing that you can take out just what you need for a feeding or add a little bit more without thawing and wasting too much.
After filling the tray, store it in your freezer until the milk is frozen. Then, pop out the frozen milk from the silicone breastmilk freezer tray, and store them in a container until it is time to use. You will have BPA-free breastmilk storage all in one kit!
When you need to thaw milk, take out just what you think you need, and thaw it in the storage bag. This seals so you can take milk with you on the go or prepare to thaw milk for a babysitter.

Boobcube Makes Feeding Baby Easier
The Boobcube milk storage system helps others when caring for your baby as well. Think about how easy it will be for any babysitter to take out one frozen ounce, thaw it, warm it and feed baby just a bit more if they are hungry for extra when you are not home. This was always a worry for me. What if what I thaw for a bottle is not enough and my baby cries until I get home? That worry is gone, because your babysitter can thaw even ½ ounce portions.
In time you learn how much baby will eat at a feeding. And the First Drop Kit helps you visualize and plan better. It is the tool for less wasted breastmilk and a fed baby with the best milk out there.
I encourage you to read more about successfully breastfeeding babies. It is not easy for everyone but stick with it. There are so many health benefits for our babies when they consume breastmilk.
When it comes to safe milk storage for babies, do your research. Breastmilk is very stable and healthy at room temperature. There is great research in this article and this article detailing non-toxic breastmilk storage.
Always go with your gut. The nose knows, as they say. And cheers to you for stepping in to breastfeeding using the reusable breast milk containers from Boobcube to help you succeed.
