Traveling with breast milk? Here’s how to keep It safe and fresh

Traveling with a baby is an adventure, but ensuring your breast milk stays fresh, safe, and ready to feed can feel overwhelming. Whether you're heading on a road trip, catching a flight, or managing a busy day out, Babba’s innovative storage and cooling solutions make it simple to pump, store, and feed—so you can focus on making memories with your little one.

Understand Breast milk Storage Guidelines

Breast milk is liquid gold, and keeping it at the right temperature is crucial to maintaining its nutrients. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Freshly pumped milk can be stored at room temperature (77°F or below) for up to 4 hours.
  • Refrigerated milk should be kept at 40°F and used within 4 days.
  • Frozen milk (0°F or below) can be stored for 6 months (ideal) or up to 12 months.

Pro Tip:

If you're traveling with fresh milk, cool it during your trip with a portable cooler like Babba—no ice packs required!

Choose the Right Storage Method for Your Trip

Different travel plans require different breast milk storage solutions

  • Pack it in a dedicated cooler and let TSA agents know before screening.

Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers.

How can Babba do BOTH cooling and warming?

Any bottle warmer you’ve seen uses heated wires to warm the bottle, and any bottle cooler you've seen uses ice. But Babba’s technology transfers heat—for warming, heat goes into the milk to warm it; and for cooling, we pull the heat out of the milk to cool it. Thus Babba can take warm milk and cool it down to refrigerator cold. Babba took nearly 3 years to develop and many engineers, but its simple design allows for easy use for any parent.

Can I use my own baby bottle?

Yes! While Babba comes with a vacuum-insulated stainless steel bottle, you can easily pour the milk into your preferred bottle.
