These are COOL!

by M. Rob 2006-06-30

I love the fact that these bags are a sterile environment to pump into. I had absolutely NO issues pumping into the bags and love saving the extra step it takes to pump into a bottle and then pour into a bag to store. The bags are well made and protect the milk in the freezer too. I have friends who had issues with the bags initially but it was all user probs and not a prob with the bags. I would like it if you could feed right out of the bag though.

Worst Breastmilk Bags I've Tried

by J. Duran 2006-06-30

I have been wanting to make this post for a long time. I wish I could choose "zero" stars. Of the breastmilk bags I have tried over the years (this is my third baby) these have to be the worst ever.

1. They do not fit easily on the "suction cups". I tried to get them on there right for what seemed like hours the first night I had them and finally gave up and just pumped into a bottle and poured into the bags for storage. The twist-ties should thread through little premade holes in the bag to hold onto the pump. I wasted two bags as the twist time tore the hole when I tried to tighten it around the hand piece. When I did finally manage to get it on there "right" as soon as the bag had any weight in it, it shifted and fell off. Not worth the effort it takes to get it on there "perfectly".

2. They leak. When using for storage you are supposed to roll the top down (after squeezing the air out) and secure with the enclosed twist tie. This is easy... right?.... yea, except the twist tie unravels and your roll is loosened the second you let go of it. Therefore if it gets knocked over before it freezes or as you are thawing it your precious milk gets spilled.

I was drawn to these because I was tired of washing bottles for pumping and loved the idea of not having to use them anymore. Not only did I have to continue using bottles but several ounces of my milk ended up on the inside of our freezer.

I have now switched to another brand which has a double zip-lock top. They are so much more convenient for storage, and since there's 2 zip locks I know my milk won't spill if one fails. The new bags are also thicker and just feel more durable.

Great Product!

I used the disposable breastmilk bags with my first child and they were easy to use and convenient. I had to pump for 3 weeks while my premature son was in the NICU at the hospital. I pumped and used the storage bags to freeze my milk and take to the hospital. It is easier than washing the reusable bottles and you can freeze your milk in them. I continued to use them for short term at home pumping also.
