Hey, Sister! If you’ve been around here for a bit, you probably know I’ve breastfed all of my kids—for over five years total at this point. So when I say I’ve been there with the pumping, storing, and navigating allll the milk logistics, I mean it.
When I was a first-time mom (back in 2018), I had no clue how much milk I’d end up storing. I wound up with an entire deep freezer full of plastic bags. Seriously—full. It felt efficient at the time, but looking back, I really wish I had something like the Boob Cube. My bags never laid flat or even uniformly…un-flat(??is that a word lol) The ounces on the bag never accurately showed the amount of milk, because I’m sure I was doing something wrong. It would have been so different if I had the Boobcube storage system. It’s not only more sustainable, but way better for your baby and your sanity. If you have been thinking, “there’s got to be a better way that all these plastic bags….” KEEP READING.
What’s in the Boob Cube First Drop Kit?
You get:
- The Canteen
Our BPA-free storage jar allows you to safely collect up to 8 oz. of breast milk, sans plastic and is compatible with the following pumps:
- Spectra S1 plus
- S2 plus
- Spectra 9 plus
- Motif Luna
- Ameda MYA
- The Tray – this part is genius: two silicone trays with half, one, and two-ounce measurements so you can freeze in realistic amounts. No more defrosting 6 oz. only for baby to drink 3.
- The Pouch – a sturdy, reusable storage bag with a pinch-seal. It’s easy to toss in a diaper bag or thaw under warm water—no flimsy single-use stuff here.
All of it is made with 100% food-grade silicone and free of BPA, phthalates, PVC, and lead. Plus, it’s dishwasher, freezer, sterilizer, and microwave safe.
Why This Matters
Almost all breastmilk storage bags are made from plastic, and I know that’s what many of us have used because it was the norm. But here’s the thing—recent research (linking it here) has shown that single-use plastic bags can actually leach microplastics into breastmilk. You wouldn’t want to heat up your own food in a plastic bag EVERY time you ate… once I thought about this…I couldn’t unthink it!
According to the study, babies could be ingesting up to 0.89 mg of microplastics a day from milk stored in these bags. That includes plastics like polyethylene and PET—and the warmer the milk gets, the more particles get released. It’s not something I knew back then, but it’s something I definitely pay attention to now. Think about how many times you are reheating your babies milk in a plastic bag…I feel like if you are going to limit plastic exposure on one thing, this is THE THING to switch.
Why I’m All In on Boob Cube
- It’s safer—no microplastics or chemical exposure for baby.
- It’s more sustainable—less waste and no deep freezer full of single-use plastic.
- It’s practical—you can portion exactly what you need and reuse everything.
- And honestly? It just makes sense. It’s a setup I wish I had when I was starting out.
Im going to wrap it up here
Whether you’re a first-time mom or on baby number three, the Boob Cube makes storing breastmilk simpler, safer, and way more sustainable. You don’t have to settle for what’s always been done—this is such a smart upgrade.
