> 3 dayI really like this bottles especially because you can freeze them and they are reusable. The size is about right since most breastfed kids will eat around 3oz per feeding for a long time. The only problem when compared to the plastic liner bags is that these are very bulky and can occupy half of your freezer very quickly if youre trying to build up a months supply stock. If you are hoping to keep a months supply or less frozen they are a great alternative, otherwise probably the plastic liner bags are easier to handle.

> 3 dayThese containers are great BECAUSE OF the size. First of all, they are perfectly sized for newborns. And, once your baby gets a little older, and requires more milk, these 2.5 oz. containers are the perfect supplement to combine with a 5oz storage bag when thawing to make a bottle. Other reviewers claim these containers are awkward, but I would suggest not pumping directly into them. If you own a Medela pump, or the like, simply pump into the 5oz container that comes with the pump and transfer into the smaller storage container(s) for freezing. I always make sure my mother in law/nanny has 12 frozen Medela (2.5 oz) containers of milk at her place (in deep freeze) in case my baby needs a snack if I am running late to pick him up after work. Oh, and they are BPA-free. Bonus. I highly recommend these.

> 3 dayThese were the bottles they used in the hospital and I figured if they are good enough for the hospital, they should be good enough for home use. The are nice to use fur putting breast milk in the fridge, but they crack if they get shuffled around too much in the freezer (I only filled them half way so it’s not an expansion issue).

> 3 dayThese are very useful for supplementing, can be used for pumping and directly feed through the same bottle. Good for refrigerator storage too. Perfect size. Will order another set of 12. Wouldve preferred better quality smooth finish caps like the ones that come with medela pump set accessories.

> 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 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 weekThe product itself is excellent. I have no issues with it either using it, storing in the fridge or cleaning it. I only gave it a 4 not a 5 bec 2.5 oz is a small amount. It used to be perfect when my son was 2 months old. Starting the 3rd month his meal grew and i have to use the bigger medela bottles. I initially went out and bought 3 packs of this 2.5oz bottles. I now regret this bec they are not useful when pumping and then heating them. Also if you have a bottle warmer you will need to heat every bottle on its own vs. the 5 oz bottle which you can heat in one go. I also used a white board pen to write on the bottles when I put them in the freezer and it wipes off easily so no issues with that. I would advice that you buy the 5 oz bottles and not these if you are plannig to pump until your baby is more than 3 months.

> 3 dayBean using these for the past few months, they are great and are used all the time, Big + is that it is interchangeable with the cups that come with the Medela pumps.

> 3 dayThere are two things I love about these: 1. One pack of has helped me save money on freezer bags. I pump directly into them, cap them, and put them in the freezer. After frozen, I thaw just enough to slide them out of the container into a freezer bag. I can even pop the frozen cylinder into a bottle and let it thaw in the car rather than having to melt it before I get it into the bottle and go. 2. It is so easy to accurately measure the contents with these. Because the storage bags are flexible, I always found once I got milk in a bottle that it was a different amount than what the storage bag showed. Theres no confusion with these. Also, once I slide the frozen milk out of the container and into a baggie, its easy to eyeball later and know how much is there.
