Customer Reviews

Just ok--thought it was a must have, but I could live without it.
I have a freezer full of frozen breastmilk for my baby, and every morning, I thaw out a bag of milk for his morning bottle. I saw this product and thought I MUST have it, but I am a little disappointed in it. It is nothing more than a tall plastic container to hold water and a bag of breastmilk. I find that it takes longer to thaw the breastmilk in this than it does just to hold the bag of milk under a faucet of warm water. The body of this container can be a little narrow for the Lansinoh breast milk storage bags, and I have actually had one of my bags punctured and the milk rendered useless because of the narrowness. Save yourself the $$ and just run it under warm water or let it thaw in the fridge and warm in a bottle warmer.
it's ok
It does what it says...but I don't think it's all that necessary. You could get the same result by using a colander and letting water run over that.
Great for warming, useless for thawing
The mistake here is that it's called a "Thaw and Warm Cup". This product is useless for thawing - most products are. The best thing to do is take the milk out of the freezer the night before to thaw. That being said, I found it rather useful for warming milk. The lid keeps the bottle in place, which is always a problem when you try to warm the milk on the stovetop - the bottle just bobs around. Because you're using tap water, which even at it's hottest isn't scalding hot, you can avoid the hotspots some bottle warmers cause. Placing a bottle in the container, popping the lid on and turning on the faucet is all very easy to do with a squirmy baby in your hand as well!
There may be a bottle warmer that is better than this product, but you're not going to get it for 10 dollars. Learning Curve should just remove the word "Thaw" from the product name.
