> 3 dayTotally useful. They fit the breast pump, the caps, and the nipples, so they can be used for pumping, storing, or feeding. They freeze perfectly (just leave a little room at the top for expansion when frozen). Also this slim size was easy for the baby to hold (shape and weight), so she could hold it herself when she was old enough and wanted to. The slim size also easily fit in a cooler, vs. the bulky wide bottles. The small volume means less waste. Id rather bring 3 mini bottles than 1 giant one, because it minimized waste and also let me wash the finished ones that much faster. Perfect in the dishwasher. Use a basket (or even a produce net knotted @ both ends, free!) to keep the lids safe in the dishwasher. They have not stained even though we eat a lot of tomato-based foods and they share the dishwasher. Now that I am no longer pumping, I use them to freeze extra whole milk when I get it on sale, so we have spare milk handy (even though we pour it into a cup now). Also useful for carrying a small supply of toddler snacks in the purse or diaper bag; screw on caps stay on better. I got by with one set of 12, but a second set would have been essential if we were not already running the dishwasher daily. Also this was eligible under my Health Care Flexible Spending Account (as are all breast pumps, pump parts, and milk storage); regular bottles are not! I used way fewer disposable milk storage bags after I found these storage bottles.

> 3 dayI just had my first baby and I was clueless about breastfeeding supplies. I decided to get these for milk storage instead of bags since they are more rigid and could be stored in either the refrigerator or freezer. I really like them. I am using a Medela InStyle breast pump and I can pump directly into these and either store it with the lid for later, or put a Medela bottle top and nipple on it and feed to baby immediately.

> 3 dayI really like having these as an option over breast milk storage bags, especially for smaller volumes. I am not exclusively using these, but I like having options to reduce breast milk storage waste with the bags! They are easy to clean and store.

> 3 dayThis is a great product. I purchased these containers to use as bottles as the enfamil disposable nipples for perfectly on these. My infant enjoyed these. I am no longer using them for milk now but I plan to use them for snacks etc. once he gets older

> 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 dayAt first, we wondered why we would ever need 12 bottles, but after pumping, we saw that it was a good packaging choice by Medela. These are easy to carry out and easy to store. Theyre also easier to wrangle when youre first learning to bottlefeed a baby with your other arm full. These are compatible with the Medela nipple collars for the larger Medela bottles.

> 3 dayIm using it for the last month and I ordered another pack recently. The good thing about it is that it is reusable. I can also connect it directly to Medela and Ameda breast-pump. Now when Im pumping more this things are less useful, because you can pump only 2 oz in the bottle. Im still keeping milk in them, because its easy to heat the milk under the water (they are small and tall, so the milk will warm faster). Unfortunately, when you froze the milk, these bottle became quite fragile - one of the bottles fell of in the freezer and cracked. Now Im keeping them in a box.

> 3 dayI love these. I never used them for their intended purpose of storing breast milk. Rather I use them for formula. I dump in two scoops of formula (4oz) bottle and its a convenient way to store formula for a quick bottle. The formula scoop easily fits into the tube (no mess) and the tube easily dumps into my AVENT classic bottles. Its perfect. These are easily to clean (dishwasher), are durable and the size is perfect (I could use it for four scoops of formula - 8oz).

> 3 dayThese are really convenient because they can go from the pump, to the freezer, and they take standard nipples. They can only hold up to 2 oz frozen (need to leave room for expansion in the freezer), but I just give the baby 1-2 bottles depending on how hungry he is. It helps to minimize the amount of breast milk discarded because the baby does not finish the bottle.

24-11-2024For my first child I pumped and froze a lot of milk in a mixture of bags and bottles. The bottles worked the best for us for thawing purposes without any degradation of the milk. The bags held up well, but our baby wouldnt take that milk as often because I believe the bags may have changed the taste. This time around Im buying only bottles for freezing and storing!
