Ceres Chill - Breastmilk Chiller - Multi Use Pumping Accessory

I first purchased a Ceres Chiller upon returning to work post maternity leave, and it’s been an amazing product that I have used every day for 6 months. It keeps my expressed milk cold all day long and is spill proof. I love being able to pool my milk throughout the day and then easily prep all the bottles for the next day from the one container once I get home. Sometimes I don’t get to doing that until after kids’ bedtime, but the milk stays cold for so long, so it’s never been a problem! Just purchased a second one to have a bit more capacity for an overnight work trip and realized after placing my order that it wouldn’t arrive in time for my trip. I reached out to customer service on a holiday weekend and got a quick text back from Rachel who was able to get the product shipped out with expedited shipping to ensure it would arrive in time. Really went the extra mile to help me out! Great product from a great company!

This has been perfect for pumping on the go. I love that you can just throw ice in it and it’s good to go with little prep. It says to hand wash only, but I’ve used the dishwasher with it many times and no issues for me so far (mom life!). I appreciate this company and the sweet words engraved on the interior chamber, too. It is a sturdy chiller and has worked perfectly for me as a teacher pumping at school during the day. My milk is nice and cold by the end of the day when I get home with ice still in the chamber!

I love this! Keeps my breastmilk cool when I’m out and about until I get home to store it. I love that the top can turn into a bottle if needed I tend to use more the inner chamber more because of my over supply and put the ice in the smaller chamber but it keeps it nice and cold for 20+ hours! I tested it out with some left over milk that my baby didn’t drink and it was still cold when I checked it! Overall great product would definitely buy again! I plan to buy another one in a different color!

Fantastic product!!! I love it because it’s so easy to pack, and keeps my milk really cold on the go. I haven’t tried pumping into the bottles yet. I just pump into my regular Spectra bottles when I’m at work, then dump into the inner bottle, and the bottle keeps my milk cold at work or wherever I’m on the go. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pumped in the car driving somewhere (ie date night lol), and have used this to keep my milk cold and safe the entire time. It’s so much smaller, more convenient, and more discrete than a cooler! Love it :)

This was perfect for storing breastmilk the week I came back from maternity leave and i had to go on a field trip (teacher here). Also was beneficial when pumping on a 14 hour road trip or keep milk good while getting ready for my sister's wedding and taking care of my baby without a fridge! And the customer service was amazing! My original order was lost somewhere along the way and would not make it in time for our field trip. So I reached out and they Express ship me a new one to make it in time! Amazing!! Keeps milk cold and safe!

The other moms at my work all swore by the Ceres Chill, so I added it to my baby registry. They were right! It's such a convenient way to transport breastmilk. I put ice in it, put it in my work bag, and take it to work. I keep a pump and bottles at the office. I pour my milk into my Ceres Chill at the end of the day, and my milk is still incredibly cold when I get home from work. It's also handy when we're traveling. I have not tried it as a bottle to feed my baby or a bottle to pump into. I have the Spectra pump, and I need to get some sort of other piece to connect everything. Still, this is wonderfully designed! And we'll be able to use it as a thermos when I'm done breastfeeding. The inside pieces can go in the dishwasher. The outside is handwash only.

I just bought mine and took to work to test it. Milk did get cold all day, but my first impression is that it only felt that practical and convenient when single pumping. When double pumping, I had to break the entire thing out and there were a lot of parts to handle, and then to dry/clean - plus the adapters for my spectra. At some point I forgot to put on one of the lids and it tilted and leaked a lot next time I opened (not while the other lid wad screwed shut, so cuddos there). I know I’ll get used to it and it will become a bit easier later, but so far I’ve felt pretty clumsy around it. Still worth it, though, for the 17+hs of my trip to come.

Love the size of the bottle, fits in my backpack, milk stays chilled with ice pack or with the ice in the middle bottle. Great for exclusive pumping mothers who are on the go.

I was one of those moms who never could understand why you would buy an $80 bottle until I had my baby and was SO inconvenienced by how to store my milk appropriately. Putting my milk in here for MOTN feeds, taking it on the go, it’s a huge peace of mind knowing my milk is at safe temps with the ceres chill. I would love to see a bigger inner chamber in the future because it is such a jump from 12 oz to 32 with milk, but right now I’m producing enough to have to use the bigger portion for milk. When that wasn’t the case and 12 oz was too small, it was kind of annoying to try to decide how to best store. Overall, it is extremely convenient and I’ve learned for us moms anything convenient or that can give us a mental checkmark off our list is a win!

This is perfect for on the go moms that are pumping! I have taken this to work with me and it has kept my breast milk at a perfect temperature to use when I get home.

So many different ways to use this chiller. You can pump directly into the container. You can pour milk into either size chamber to safely collect milk all day without having to worry about messing around with storage bags in the middle of your workday. I was able to take care of dividing up my milk at home. I used this for almost a full year and never once had it leak.

Love it! Why? Listing pros and cons below and will list some tips at the end. Hope it helps. In short, I do think that any good Thermos could do a great job as well if you have access to a fridge at work and that is where you intend to use the chiller. If you need to chill milk without a fridge, read on. Pros: - It eliminates ice packs to chill pumped milk in absence of a fridge (great for the forgetful, tired mom ;)) and you don't have to travel with a bunch of bottles. I feel it is way easier to handle. I used it this way mostly when traveling, not so much at work (where I had access to a fridge). - Stores milk COLD. (Keep in mind the inner chamber only holds 12 oz! 24 oz if using inner chamber for ice and storing milk in the outer chamber. Still nice and cold, but less so than with the milk in the inner chamber.) - Can be re-used as a Thermos when done pumping! Cons (not really, just inconveniences for me): - Inner chamber only holds 12 oz. Not enough for a work day's worth pumping for most moms. Even when using the inner chamber for an ice/water mix and filling the outer chamber with milk, that is only 24 oz (possibly 25, but that's cutting it really close when screwing in the top). If you have access to a fridge, you can store about 34 oz in the bottle and it says cold enough on the way home even without ice. - Price is a bit steep for what it is, especially if you aren't using the ice chamber as intended. But it is versatile and I did make use of all options over time. - The direct pumping option doesn't work well for me (didn't seal well) and isn't really practical due to bottle size and the need for two chillers if you want to double-pump! Tips: - Let your milk come to room temperature after pumping and before pouring into the chiller (if you can). It definitely helps keeping the ice longer. - The inner container is small (12 oz). So, likely too small for a whole day's worth of milk. I often used the inner chamber (filled it with ice chips and added cold water from the fridge) to chill. 24 oz of milk can be stored that way. That still was not enough for me most days (I have twins and easily pumped 40 oz during a work day). I have also used the chiller without ice since I do have access to a fridge at work (about 34 oz can be stored this way). I just pumped into some regular bottles and "dumped off" into the chiller. The milk stays cold enough on the way home if it was kept in the fridge during the day. I left a pump and a whole set of pumping parts at work, stored in the fridge between pumps and cleaned at the end of the day - dried over night at work. (Works well if you have access to a desk or a locker, a sink, and a fridge). - You will get some milk fat stuck to the inner chamber if you filled that with ice. Also might have a milk fat "ring" if you just stored milk in the bottle in the fridge. That is perfectly normal and happens to any breast milk storage container. Just leave a little bit of room in the bottle, make sure the ice chamber and the top is sealed well, tip over and swirl/gently shake for a bit to re-suspend the milk fat before pouring out. - I used several 32 oz Mason Jars with pour lids to store milk at home (poured into those directly from the Ceres chiller when I got home from work). This allowed for easy pouring of bottles for our nanny while I was at work and doesn't create a bunch of plastic waste from bags. If you prepare bottles for day care the night before, you won't need extra storage - just pour directly into the bottles that go to day care! - Obviously, if you want to freeze milk on a routine basis, you still need a system for that. Consider "milk sticks" or "cube trays" and large freezer bags for that. That will cut down on the plastic waste as well. Good luck, pumping momma! You are doing a fantastic job for your baby! It is HARD work and a LOT of commitment. Make sure your family appreciates and actively supports your hard work and dedication! Pump on, momma! You've got this!

Awesome for storing milk, especially for pumping at night and not wanting to go to the fridge! Its a great product I just wish it was a little less expensive

I use this all the time when out and about. It keeps a bottle chilled and ready, holds pumped milk, and so easy to clean. The design is sleek and not obvious that its breastmilk. Highly recommend!

This is the absolute best purchase i have ever made being a second time mom! I promise you you will not be disappointed it really keeps my breast milk cold and is super easy to use. We use it every time we go out and it genuinely makes me happy knowing that my baby’s milk is safely stored, chilled and ready to use!

I love this product. It is a great way to store milk you pump at night without having to go downstairs and put It away in the fridge. We have a light sleeper toddler so this product helped us avoid waking him up at night. Super convenient and the bottle stays cold for a while

I LOVE this chiller! We recently went to visit family out of state with our 2 month old and this chiller was a lifesaver. I put the chiller and the stainless steel chamber in the fridge the night before and then the morning we left, I filled the steel chamber with ice. The ice was still in there 12 hours later! I was able to store approx. 15 oz of breastmilk (the outer chiller with the stainless steel chamber is able to hold 27 oz of breastmilk). I highly recommend for any pumping mamas!

This was definitely one of my most used baby products. If you’re a family that travels often it definitely makes things more convenient. I used it multiple times through TSA without any issues. It kept milk cold during our 20 hours of travel.

I have loved having this chiller when I’m on the go and pumping. It was so nice to have at work because I didn’t need to worry about finding a place to store. I love that no matter how much breast milk you have, it has a way to store it safely. Definitely worth the money

As an exclusive pumping mama, I needed something that can store my milk at the right temperature to prolong its shelf lifespan. This is a must have! I usually put ice in the inner chamber so that I can have ample maximum storage space for my milk. For 24 hours, my milk stays at a cold temperature. I also don’t need to bring a cooler with me or milk storage bags while traveling.
