What is the International Freeze & Check?

The Milk Stork International Freeze & Check enables moms to check their frozen breast milk as luggage when traveling internationally.

The Milk Stork International Freeze & Check is a 90 oz. cooler and maintains frozen temperatures for up to 96 hours.  Exterior dimensions are 12” x 8” x 10”.

This cooler kit includes:

• Breast milk storage bags
• Tamper proof stickers to secure each individual breast milk storage bag
• Circular seals to secure the exterior of the cooler*
• Travel bag
• Luggage tag

*Please note exterior seals may be broken and the contents of the cooler may be inspected by airport security. Tamper seals are provided for individual breast milk storage bags. Please contact your airline to determine if there is a fee for checked bags.

THINGS TO KNOW:

• Our coolers work with high-performance vacuum insulated panels that will maintain the frozen temperature for up to 96 hours. Milk Stork Freeze coolers do not have an activation button.
• Can hold  UP TO 90 oz of frozen milk depending on freezer bags used and how milk is frozen (upright vs. flat).  Using Willow/Kiinde bags will greatly decrease the amount of milk that can be packed into the cooler.
• If milk has been frozen in a flat position, more milk can be packed.
