> 24 hourThese are the perfect size for moms that just need to pump a small amount at a time. Great for storing in the freezer and easy to fit in a cooler bag on the go. My son hates when the milk is cold from the fridge, so we always need to warm the bottles with our body heat or a bit of warm water. Since these are smaller in diameter than regular bottles, they warm up more quickly which is a good thing when you have a hungry baby!

> 24 hourThese will break if you drop them but they work better than bags for freezing and storing breast milk. These are 20mL more than the ones I was using in NICU those were 60mL these are 80mL which is actually nice now that baby is growing. Wish there were more bottles in the pack. They work with my medela pump and bottle tops from NICU.

> 24 hourA few of these came with the breast pump I bought and I love them, mostly for storage purposes. Its just so easy to line them all up neatly in the freezer. Im done pumping now, so I kept all of these little containers and my kids play with them. They are great for sand tables and water play. We even took a few to the beach and my daughter used them for collecting tiny seashells.

> 24 hourI was sick of: a. Spending money on breastmilk storage bags and b. Having to clean the bottles I pumped into between pumpings. These fit right onto my pump so I can pump right into them and there are enough of them that I can store my pumped milk in them without having to transfer the milk to bags. I throw them in the dishwasher when the milk has been used. They dont hold much milk but I rarely get more than 2.5 oz out of one breast anyway...the times it happens, I just pause the pump and switch out. Basically, it was a good investment that has saved me time and money.

> 24 hourNursing my second baby and these are a must for milk storage of you pump. I keep milk in these in the fridge until ready to use or freeze - takes up little space and doesn’t tip over. I use masking tape tape to write the date on the top and peel it off after use before cleaning and refilling.

> 24 hourThese work. I hate the size of them and wish they had larger kits available but I guess thats what the bottles are for. Even with a one month old-I find that I pump a minimum of 4 ounces on each side. So using 4 bottles per pump is really dumb. So dont expect to pump directly into these. You will constantly be switching out bottles from the breast shield and loose precious milk in the process. However if the size is no problem for you then they are fine. The quality is great, no problems with freezing. The lids secure tightly and no leaks!

> 24 hourI love these bottles! I started using these while I was still on maternity leave and could pump regularly. These worked great since they hook up directly to the pump. I used them for storage and feeding. Just store in the fridge and run under hot water or through the bottle warmer when ready. Once I returned to work, I switched to formula full time and used these to store the formula. Again, they worked perfectly for storage and feedings. Any nipples that fit the typical Medela bottles will fit these, including the nipples that come with the Similac Advanced Newborn formula. They come in a pack of 12 bottles - 80ml each. The bottles have ml markings and oz markings etched directly into the bottles. I would recommend these to anyone looking for convenient storage/feeding bottles for a newborn to about 3 months.

> 24 hourI first purchased a set of these in a store and was really pleased with them, i can pump directly from my Ameda Purely Yours into them and store them until my daughter needs to be fed. I decided i needed more so i ordered from here instead of loading up a newborn to go shopping. These are exactly the same as the ones i purchased in store except they had a very strong odor, almost chemical like. Since you cant return them once the seal as been broken i washed them and put them in the Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags (also by medela, which i LOVE) and they didnt smell as bad but still had an odor. I went ahead and did a second round of washing and steaming in the bags and after that they seemed good to go. My daughter hasnt show any dislike to the bottles or had any worrisome symptoms so i feel like things are fine. My only advice is give these a sniff test and if they have that chemical smell to them then give them a good washing and steaming/boiling a couple times and you should be good to go.

> 24 hourI really like this bottles especially because you can freeze them and they are reusable. The size is about right since most breastfed kids will eat around 3oz per feeding for a long time. The only problem when compared to the plastic liner bags is that these are very bulky and can occupy half of your freezer very quickly if youre trying to build up a months supply stock. If you are hoping to keep a months supply or less frozen they are a great alternative, otherwise probably the plastic liner bags are easier to handle.

> 24 hourWe much prefer these over bags. We have had several bags that have leaked on us, no matter how careful we are with closure, and never have these storage bottles leaked. My husband has requested that the bags be sent to daycare and he keep the bottles! He has mentioned that after defrosting, the transfer from bag to bottle is much less delicate and leads to more spillage. I am about to order more of these bottles, so I can eliminate the use of bags entirely. I also like that they are reusable and Im not throwing away lots of plastic storage bags. The small size is nice, and allows us to more precisely control our breast milk supply for less waste, which is nice because I am not a super-producer of milk. Oh! And I have an Ameda pump and while I mostly use the Ameda bottles with it, these fit on to my pump as well.
