Q: Can i use medela bottles to bring milk to room temp in electric bottle warmer
A: We recommend thawing in the refrigerator overnight or in warm water prior to feeding. Gently shake the container to blend any fat that has separated. Feed thawed milk immediately or store in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours. You can also place the sealed container in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring it to body temperature. Do not thaw frozen milk in the microwave or a pan of boiling water.

A: The Breastmilk Collection & Storage Bottle Set doesn’t come with nipples. It includes the bottles and lids with a quick clean steam bag. If you are looking for a set with nipples I would recommend the Breastmilk Bottle Set.
