> 3 dayI 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!

Greater than one weekWe 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.

> 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 usually use these to store milk but ive found another use for them! The dr browns nipple and twist cap fit these bottles! When baby doesnt want a big bottle and just 1-2.5oz I give him these instead!

> 3 dayThese were the best pumping bottles. The bottles that come with the pump hold 5 oz, which can be really discouraging to use when you only get 1-1.5 oz a session. I felt much better about myself and my pumping when I switched to these bottles. 1.5 oz over half filled the bottle so I walked away feeling like I succeeded and that removed stress from pumping which in turn improved my supply. This kit also helped with the problem of not enough bottle caps.

Greater than one weekThese are very handy for quick bottles. Knowing that each stores 2.5 oz makes bottle prep a snap. I wish that they came with some sort of dispensing system for the fridge so that the freshest one was always in front. Sort of like those dispensers for soda cans that you can get for your fridge. You would drop the most recently pumped bottles in a hole in the back and the ones to use first would roll up to the front. Otherwise its kind of a pain to store them in the fridge. The bases are narrow and they tend to tip over on the wire shelves in my fridge.

Greater than one weekI love being able to pump, freeze and feed from this container. Just buy the Medela nipples to top these with and feed a newborn from. Both my kids took breast and bottle no problem

> 3 dayThese work great. I used them more for the fridge not really the freezer. Bags work much better in the freezer. Ive only dropped one so far that the lid broke. But the milk fat had formed a seal inside and it didnt leak. I kept the bottom and tossed the lid. I also use them to pump when my others are dirty. They just fill up quick. I like them for my fridge but have found it easier to use bags for the daycare.

Greater than one weekMy nearly 4 months old baby is tiny and does not empty completely my breasts at feedings. I do not produce large quantities of milk but I express it after several feedings daily and I get between 20 and 40 additional ml each time. I then give her this additional quantity by bottle. These little bottles proved perfect for me. They can be attached directly to the medela double pump I rented and you can use them to feed directly the baby which is perfect when you do not produce huge quantities or when you just need to give a small supplement. I also think they will be very useful when she starts the creche as I could give the teachers e.g one bag with a larger quantity (cumulated over one day) and a small bottle in order to avoid wasting milk as i will have to use my frozen milk once I start working again this autumn. They do not leak and are easily washed. They also occupy a tiny place in the fridge ir freezer. The product arrived on time and in perfect conditions.
