> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI got these thinking I was going to use them to freeze, but soon discovered that they were horrible to thaw in the fridge. It is so much easier to freeze in bags as they can be thawed in a matter of minutes by running under warm water. The positive on these was that I used them to pump into almost exclusively. Pumping into bags is so inaccurate when you are trying to see exactly how much you are pumping. Maybe I am just OCD about it, but I wanted to know exactly how much I was getting from each side and per pumping and these were perfect for that. I didnt use for storage or freezing, but I still found these helpful.

Greater than one weekI was sick of using bags and wanted something that would fit in the bottle warmer for my babysitters if they needed to get some milk from the freezer. My only 2 complaints are: 1. I wish they were slightly bigger as my baby eats 3 oz and these hold just under that. 2. It would be nice if the lids had a place to write a date on as I prefer to write it there than on the bottles themselves (to be fair, there is a place on the bottle to write name and date - my preference is to write on the lid). My baby does drink out of these on occasion, and seems to have less gas when he does, so thats a plus!

> 3 dayI pump all day, every day on the go....yep even in my car. So, I stocked up on these. I store the milk in these and so when I fill the bottles up for the next day, these work great. I dont typically use these to freeze the milk because I use what I pump the next day, but I wanted something easy to pour the milk into from the pump...not the bags. These are 2.7 ounces I think and if you fill it up to the very top its about 3oz.

Greater than one weekThese 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!

> 3 daySince each container holds 2.5 ozs of milk, these are perfect for when youre just starting to pump and probably dont produce very much milk. It sounds silly, but it eased my anxiety and made pumping easier when I attached one of these to my pump and was able to see it fill up than when I used one of the 5 oz Medela bottles and felt like I was barely collecting anything. The milk in these thaws fairly quickly, and its great to know how much youve stored. As a bonus, you can use a pencil to write the date and time on the side of the bottle and it washes/wipes off well, so its easy to use the containers again and again without getting confused.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 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.
