20-11-2024They are small and dont hold much but they were perfect for me because I was breastfeeding and using formula at the same time because I want producing much and I was working full time and going to school. They were easy to put in the fridge and lug around in my bag.

> 3 dayEspecially at the reduced price, these are great containers. When I was looking at babyfood containers for the freezer I was surprised at the prices -- so I used these as I had them on hand from when my supply was just getting started. When I first started out I had to pump every 2 hours for the first 4 months. The 5oz bottles made me feel like a failure when I was only getting 1/2 to 1 ounce. So I bought these and was able to measure and store the smaller amounts much easier. They were also great for supplementing with formula. I would put a scoop of formula in a bunch, grab a few for the diaper bag and go. When out I could just add 2oz of water and shake it up. Now that my supply is up I use the bags (different brand actually) for freezer storage, but these still get used for odd amounts -- I save everything in 4oz quantities so any extra goes in these bottles if I need to. But what I use them for most often now is store homemade baby food. I make a batch of steamed veggies or fruit, puree in a food mill, pour it in a ziploc, snip a corner off the bag, then squeeze/pipe the food into the containers. I bought some removable dot labels and theyre easy to store -- I have a plastic shoebox in my freezer that acts as a slide-out drawer and these fit perfectly.

> 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!

> 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 dayThis is our second time to order the Medela Breastmilk Freezing and Storage 12 Pack containers. Our church uses these to transport grape juice in our Home Communion Kits. They are perfect because we fill them with grape juice and close the lid and they dont ever spill. Our old plastic containers with spouts that we previously used were always leaking into our kits. One of our young mothers suggested these containers and they have worked out perfectly. Another great feature of these containers is that they can be sanitized in the microwave. We sanitize them quite often so our elderly members stay healthy. If you are looking for containers that dont leak, these are for you!

> 3 dayI love these for when the kiddo is still taking smaller bottles. You can directly thaw in the bottles and put a nipple on them and go about the day! No thawing, moving to a different bottle and THEN adding a nipple. They fit perfectly into just about any cooler, are light and easy to pump into and are generally awesome. The only thing I would change is to make them 4 oz instead of 3.5 or whatever they are, or at least make an option that is, so that those of use that live in the US can get an amount that daycare workers can track.

> 3 dayA 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.

> 3 dayI have a few packs of these bottles and I love them for storing my milk in the freezer-- 2.5oz containers, allow me to freeze with more peace of mind than the plastic bags that many others use. Ive just heard too many stories about bags ripped/broken and milk loss. I work too hard to make it to see that happen! My only reasons for not giving these 5 stars: 1) I wish they were bigger, but thats Medelas product teams issue, not Amazons. 2) The description on these says theyre sterile, but Ive gotten sterile ones that were individually shrink wrapped, and these were NOT. So I dont fully trust that description.
