> 3 dayThese bottles are slim and fit the medela pump (i have the on the go tote), so you can pump straight into the bottle. I can drop them off at daycare just as they are and they can feed the baby from the bottle. I feel more secure using these than bags. I use the bags as backup if I fill up the bottles. Plus they are BPA free, a must these days. I have been using these for two months and they have served me well.

> 3 dayFor my first child I pumped and froze a lot of milk in a mixture of bags and bottles. The bottles worked the best for us for thawing purposes without any degradation of the milk. The bags held up well, but our baby wouldnt take that milk as often because I believe the bags may have changed the taste. This time around Im buying only bottles for freezing and storing!

18-11-2024Much easier than the breastmilk storage bag. They screw right into the pump and then cap it once done. Straight into the freezer. Saves a couple steps : ) Update: These storage containers do take much longer to thaw than the plastic milk storage bags that can be frozen flat. Not so fun when you have a hungry crying baby and mommy nummies are not available and Daddy needs a bottle of breastmilk ASAP : )

> 3 dayI use these with my Medela pump in style advanced with no issues whatsoever. I love them better then the bags, they are easier to store in my opinion, they dont leak, easy to thaw, easy to heat in a bottle warmer. They are the perfect 2 oz size for my newborn baby who takes between 2-4 oz per feeding. I have bought 2 boxes to keep me going for a while.

> 3 dayAt first, we wondered why we would ever need 12 bottles, but after pumping, we saw that it was a good packaging choice by Medela. These are easy to carry out and easy to store. Theyre also easier to wrangle when youre first learning to bottlefeed a baby with your other arm full. These are compatible with the Medela nipple collars for the larger Medela bottles.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayOur baby would not take a bottle until we discovered that he likes the cheap disposable Enfamil/Similac rubber nipples. These fit!

> 3 dayI finally switched from using freezer grade BAGS to store breastmilk to these BOTTLES and its so much better. Although the Medela bags came with an attachment so you could pump directly into the bags, I found it cumbersome. You cant set it down on a table when youre putting your bra back on, so I always fear Im going to spill that liquid gold. With these bottles my life got much easier because I can pump directly into these bottles, the manual pump will balance safely on the table for a few minutes, and then not only can these go straight into the freezer, I can also easily defrost these in a drinking glass, slap a nipple cap on it and its ready to serve! Ive never experienced a leak with these bottles, which is more than I can say for the Medela freezer bags. Another thing I like about these is the size. In the first couple of months I was producing a ton of milk so a 5 ounce bag or bottle was easily filled, but after my supply weaned a little to just what my baby needed, I was really intimidated by the size of my milk recepticals. To this day, and my babys now 7 months, he wont drink more than a couple ounces at a time. These bottles are great for the amount I am able to pump in one sitting, and what he can drink in one sitting, so Im very rarely faced with the issue of waste. Writing the date onto the bottles is possible with a dry erase marker, but the ink bleeds within a few days. Im guessing this is due to moisture accumulating every time the freezer door is opened because it seems to happen more to the bottles in to the front than the back, but since we go through the milk fairly quickly so the milk doesnt get old, its not a big deal for us. I wish the labeling process was a little easier, but its nice that the ink rinses right off in water so they are totally reusable. Someone else had mentioned using a twist-tie to attach a post-it label and that just seems crazy to me in terms of the amount of effort Im willing to go to every single time I pump. Call me lazy, but thats just not a step Im willing to take. These are great little bottles and if you need to store milk, especially in the freezer, and especially in smaller amounts, these are the ones for you!
