Yes! Ceres Chill is compatible with these major pumps without an adapter:  Medela, Evenflo, Ameda, Ardo, Gland, Kidstime, Nibble, Babysteps, Bellema.   

• With our adapter available for purchase, Ceres Chill works with Spectra, Phillips Avent, Bella Baby, Baby Buddha, Cimilre, Motif by Aeroflow 
  
• All Medela pumps work with all Ceres Chill parts without adapters...except Medela just changed their new Freestyle Flex so that it only fits the Ceres Chill inner chamber and Medela bottles.  You can still use our upper cup as a baby bottle but it will not fit the Flex flange.  This means you can purchase an extra inner chamber or use your own Medela bottles to double pump.  We have heard of some moms having success with these adapters as well. 
• If you have a Lasinoh or Hygeia, please reach out to us so we can make sure we get you a special adapter to accommodate these pumps
• Pump into hands-free containers and safely store in the Chiller: Freemie, Elvie, Willow 
• If you don't see your pump listed here, please reach out to us so that we can confirm whether you need an adapter and to make sure we get you what you need
  

No more worry and so much more freedom! Pumps are improving every day so why should breastmilk storage be stuck in the stone age? Ceres Chill finally provides you with a safe, longterm solution that you easily keep on your nightstand, at your desk, in the diaper bag or tucked in your carry-on luggage. Nothing else in the world allows moms to easily and safely store up to 24 ounces of breastmilk or forumla for over 20 hours.  If you love hard evidence of awesomeness like science, charts and consumer safety reports, we have all of that for you here. 

Coolers only last for 6-8 hours (eek - can't forget the milk at work, in the car or in your bag!). Coolers require advanced freezing (don't ever forget to freeze the freeze pack overnight!).  They are also jammed full of lots of plastic (ick and ugh) and typically hold only 20 ounces.  And there are just so many parts to hand-wash and sanitize!  How can we possibly do everything we need to do in so little time and with so much baggage?!

YOUR CHILLER IS ALSO A BOTTLE WARMER!

One Chiller to chill your milk and one to warm it makes for a happy baby — road trips, long walks and life just became waaay easier! One Chiller filled with hot water can warm up to three bottles over 8 hours. Need more warm bottles? Just add hot water to the outer chamber and go!

PEACE OF MIND

Ceres Chill allows you to safely chill and store up 24 ounces of breastmilk by your bedside for midnight pumps, at your desk, in your car, or in your luggage for over 20 hours. Need more time? Just add ice. Plus traveling is such a breeze without ice packs or hassles with airport security.  Less plastic is such a relief!

COST SAVINGS 

This super high quality bottle has been specifically and rigorously tested to ensure it is safe for infants and can keep your breastmilk safe without the need to purchase more plastic and disposable storage.  For some moms facing incredibly challenges of NICU babies or super long shifts, their only option is to have a nearby fridge or find a solution like Ceres Chill to provide 20 hours of safe storage for up to 24 ounces of milk or formula.  

It might surprise you but Ceres Chill's price is competitive with the many traditional options out there...but Ceres Chill is even better because Ceres Chill is sustainable and higher quality. Coolers range in cost from $18-$250; a Medela Storage system of plastic baggies and bottles is about $34 so with the coolers you are up to $52; Mini fridges for offices or bedsides are typically $90 - $250. Ceres Chill replaces all of the hassle and costs for much less in the long run. Plus, it is truly hard to calculate the value of all of the breastmilk that gets dumped when coolers fail or we forget to freeze the chemical packs or we have to take long work trips with complications involving TSA and coolers.

ENJOY IT FOREVER 

Finally a baby product that is also for moms and dads! These chillers are not disposable like all the coolers and plastic that ends up in the trash. Ceres Chill parents LOVE their chillers and use them long after breastfeeding days are a distant memory.  The happy uses are endless: Hot coffee all day. Cold water at the gym or on a long hike. And absolutely anything can be chilled without dilution, so you can do something fun like chill an entire bottle of chardonnay in 20 minutes or sip the perfect iced coffee on at the park. One Ceres Chill Army daddy uses it to keep his hollandaise sauce warm while he puts the finishing touches on brunch. Ceres Chill is the best water bottle and thermos you have ever treated yourself to.

Ceres Chill is tested and certified for use with infants. If you love hard evidence of awesomeness like science, charts and consumer safety reports, we have all of that for you here. 

Because it was designed by a pumping, working mom for pumping, amazing, hardworking moms, it is versatile and reliable. This means it has all the compatible threading to connect your pump directly to the Chiller so you can pump into it and eliminate added risks of spills or contamination. You get convenience and peace of mind knowing you are not needlessly risking your baby's milk or formula. 

Also, thermoses can't keep freshly expressed breastmilk at a safe temperature. A regular thermos can keep milk cold or keep coffee hot but Ceres Chill safely and reliably changes the temperature so you can pump directly into the Chiller, bring the temperature down to a safe level and keep it there for over 20 hours!

The chiller dimensions are similar to that of a standard thermos (11 x 4 inches), so it fits perfectly in most medium sized bags. It’s easy to carry and definitely more space saving than a full cooler!

The inner chamber by itself is about the same weight and circumference of a 5 ounce Medea bottle, with a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 2 inches. 

All Ceres Chill parts do fit in sterilizers, but the high heat and intensity can be hard on the parts and affect the finish on the outer chamber. We recommend hand washing the outer chamber and tossing the inner chamber and plastic parts in the top rack of the dishwasher! 

As an extra cleaning measure, you can place the inner chamber in boiling water and pour boiling water inside the outer chamber, but as with all breastfeeding gear, prolonged exposure to high heat can damage the parts. We do not recommend actively boiling the parts for sustained periods. It's best to avoid boiling the plastic parts or the outside of the outer chamber.

While thoroughly cleaning all of your breastfeeding gear is essential, completely sterilizing it is not necessary for healthy, full-term babies. Here's the FDA's guidance on sterilizing:

"All breast pump parts that come in contact with breast milk, such as bottles, valves and breast shields, should be cleaned after each use. It is not possible to completely sterilize breast pump parts at home, even if you boil them. However, sterilization is not necessary to keep these parts safe and sanitary. You can do that by thoroughly washing away germs and bacteria with liquid dishwashing soap and warm water.”

Check out our blog post here for all the important sterilizing and disinfecting information!

Ceres Chill can safely store your milk for up to 24 hours. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine states that breastmilk can be kept at 59* F for that amount of time, and the Chiller works to keep your milk at that temperature or less. After that, it's important to transfer your milk to an uninsulated container in the fridge to make sure that you're following the milk storage guidelines in terms of what temperature your milk should be kept at.

We don't recommend keeping your milk in the Chiller past the 24 hour mark unless it's an emergency and you don't have access to a fridge. If you absolutely need to use the Chiller for longer, be sure to refill the ice frequently and monitor the temperature of your milk.

Yes! Ceres Chill assembles with all that you need to double pump with a hands-free bra. With each Ceres Chill, you get one lightweight 12-ounce Milk Chamber (it weighs less than an 8 oz capacity plastic bottle) that connects directly to your pump and another light 3-ounce capacity chamber which doubles as the Cup so you can easily pump both sides without bringing a ton of extra plastic in a cooler with you everywhere you go. 

Here's a diagram of the parts and how they go together

Ceres Chill has an amazingly engineered, patent-pending dual chamber system. The outer chamber holds the ice - just a few cubes and a bit of water in contact with the inner Milk Chamber is all you need. You then just pump directly into the 12 ounce inner Milk Chamber as needed throughout the day. Thermodynamic tests show milk being chilled down to 42 degrees in 4 hours or less and staying well within safe storage temps for 20+ hours in 68-72 room temperatures. 

And we can't say it enough, if you love hard evidence of awesomeness like science, charts and consumer safety reports, we have all of that for you here. 

We get it, it can be hard to figure out the first time.Ceres Chill has a small number of parts that recombine to meet all your needs throughout the day — commuting, working, traveling, and having fun out in the world with or without the baby. Any caregiver can take Ceres Chill on an adventure! 

In this little video, Terra shows you how it works.

Yes! Your Ceres Chill is incredibly versatile and can be used to warm baby bottles on the go. Just put hot tap water in the outer chamber and seal it up as usual. Then when you are out and want to warm milk or formula, just pour the cold milk/formula into the empty inner chamber by unscrewing the cup and small cap. Close it all up. Wait 4-6 minutes and then pour the warmed contents into your favorite baby bottles. Rinse out and repeat for up to 3 bottles in 10 hours.  

Yes! Absolutely! Your Chiller is an excellent way to safely transport chilled formula or warm a bottle of formula for your baby while you're on-the-go.

12–34 ounces! Ceres Chill can chill and safely store 12 ounces for over 20 hours, 24 ounces for more than 12 hours and 34 ounces of already chilled milk or forumla for 10 hours. 

No more messy, sticky blowouts while pumping or trying to switch bottles that are too small mid-pumping. Consulting with pumping mammas and lactation consultants, 12 ounces is the ideal capacity to safely store milk for a normal work day or cross-country flight. Most moms pump 5–10 ounces in a workday so we wanted to make sure we had you covered while keeping the Chiller lean, light and easy to grab, stow in a bag, or tuck in a large cupholder.  However, if a woman has an extra long shift, flight delay or other unforeseen emergency, Ceres Chill can be used to chill and store up 24 ounces for over 12 hours and if you need more time, just add a bit of ice!
