Learn how to use Bloom Bottle Companion Tops to store breast milk, formula, or snacks. A step-by-step guide with tips for safe, leak-free storage.
Quick answer
Bloom Bottle Companion Tops let you turn any narrow-neck bottle into a storage container for breast milk, formula, or snacks. Attach the right top, seal it tight, and store in the fridge or diaper bag. They are reusable and easy to clean.
Why Use Companion Tops for Storage?
Bloom Bottle Companion Tops are interchangeable add-ons that extend the life of your Bloom Bottle (or any narrow-neck bottle). Instead of buying separate storage containers, you can use the same bottle for drinking, storing, and feeding. This saves space and reduces plastic waste.
The tops are safe, durable, and designed for growing families. They work with breast milk, formula, water, and even snacks. Because they are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, you can reuse them without worry.
What You Will Need
To get started, you need a Bloom Bottle (or any narrow-neck bottle), a set of Companion Tops, and the liquid or food you want to store. Make sure all parts are clean and dry before use.
Step-by-Step: Using Companion Tops for Storage
- Choose the Right Top: Select the top that matches your storage need. For liquid storage (breast milk or formula), use the leak-proof sippy or straw top. For dry snacks, use the snack lid. Make sure the top is clean and dry. Using the wrong top can cause leaks. Always match the top to the contents.
- Attach the Top Securely: Twist the top onto the bottle until it feels snug. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads. Check that the seal is even all around. A loose top is the most common cause of spills. Give it one extra quarter-turn to be sure.
- Store in the Fridge or Bag: Place the sealed bottle in the refrigerator for short-term storage (up to 4 days for breast milk) or in a cooler bag for on-the-go. Keep upright to prevent leakage. Never store bottles on their side, even with a leak-proof top. Always store upright for best results.
- Label and Date: Use a dry-erase marker or label sticker to write the contents and date on the bottle. This helps you track freshness and avoid waste. Unlabeled bottles can lead to confusion. Always date your stored milk or food.
- Clean After Use: Disassemble the top and wash all parts in warm, soapy water or place them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Allow to air dry completely before reassembling. Residual milk can spoil quickly. Clean immediately after use to prevent odors and bacteria.
