Medela Breast Milk Freezer Pack, 2.7 oz (80ml) Bottles (Pack of 24)

I 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.

Ive tried all types of milk containers and these are the best for storing milk. I havent tried freezing but they are perfectly lean proof in the fridge. Filed to the very top they are 3 oz which has been perfect for my baby who either takes 3 or 6oz at a time depending on the meal.

These 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.

Good value for your money. They fit with the Moderna items as well.

Enough said!

These are very convenient. They make storing breast milk easy and have measurements on the jar. I pump right into them and put it in the fridge or freezer when its full.

I 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.

I finally switched from using freezer grade BAGS to store breastmilk to these BOTTLES and its so much better. Although the Medela bags came with an attachment so you could pump directly into the bags, I found it cumbersome. You cant set it down on a table when youre putting your bra back on, so I always fear Im going to spill that liquid gold. With these bottles my life got much easier because I can pump directly into these bottles, the manual pump will balance safely on the table for a few minutes, and then not only can these go straight into the freezer, I can also easily defrost these in a drinking glass, slap a nipple cap on it and its ready to serve! Ive never experienced a leak with these bottles, which is more than I can say for the Medela freezer bags. Another thing I like about these is the size. In the first couple of months I was producing a ton of milk so a 5 ounce bag or bottle was easily filled, but after my supply weaned a little to just what my baby needed, I was really intimidated by the size of my milk recepticals. To this day, and my babys now 7 months, he wont drink more than a couple ounces at a time. These bottles are great for the amount I am able to pump in one sitting, and what he can drink in one sitting, so Im very rarely faced with the issue of waste. Writing the date onto the bottles is possible with a dry erase marker, but the ink bleeds within a few days. Im guessing this is due to moisture accumulating every time the freezer door is opened because it seems to happen more to the bottles in to the front than the back, but since we go through the milk fairly quickly so the milk doesnt get old, its not a big deal for us. I wish the labeling process was a little easier, but its nice that the ink rinses right off in water so they are totally reusable. Someone else had mentioned using a twist-tie to attach a post-it label and that just seems crazy to me in terms of the amount of effort Im willing to go to every single time I pump. Call me lazy, but thats just not a step Im willing to take. These are great little bottles and if you need to store milk, especially in the freezer, and especially in smaller amounts, these are the ones for you!

I ordered these to supplement my breastmilk storage capacity. A regular Medela nipple fits onto the top of the storage containers. These 2.5 ounce containers are great for storing smaller amounts of breastmilk to feed to your newborn, or if you are just breaking it down into smaller amounts for storage. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to store breastmilk. For those in the U.S.A., these are considered eligible medical products by the IRS that can be purchased or reimbursed from a medical flex spending account.

For 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!
