 So much better than bags |

| I agree with the other moms that these are a little small, but if your newborn doesn't drink a whole four ounces at a time, it is great to be able to thaw only two ounces at a time. The good thing about these is that you can pump directly into them and freeze them. There is no need to transfer to a storage baggie thing and there is little or no chance that they will leak. When I was considering what to get, I kept reading about moms who pumped milk and then kept it in storage bags only to have it leak when thawed. Given the amount of time it takes to pump milk, to loose it to leaking bags is terrible. I only bought 12 of these and that was plenty - I am not a full-time working mom, so it was only to use sometimes when I was at school or working a few days in a row. If you work full time, you may want to buy two sets or even bigger ones. It is annoying to have to switch bottles several times while pumping. |
Great, but tiny!

| I love these containers because they're compact - more upright than wide - and they are economical compared to one-time use bags. The only thing I hate about them is that they only come in 2.7 ounce size! MEDELA: MAKE THEM TALLER / BIGGER FOR OLDER BABIES!!! :-) |
Great for Supplemental Milk Supply

These 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. |
Perfect for storing-- freezer or fridge!

I love these, they are the perfect storage containers for me.
The shape means they are easy to have lined up in the fridge, standing, OR easy to have stacked in bulk in the freezer!
The long thin shape also makes it faster & easier to defrost or warm up because so much of the milk is exposed to the sides-- just drop a container into a drinking glass and run water on it.
It's perfect meal size, just under 3 oz per bottle. So no measuring out milk for every meal into a new container, then pouring it into a bottle to drink. Just warm up, and pour into bottle.
If you are a medela user, you can actually put a medela nipple directly onto this as well. (I dont do that because I prefer adiri bottles for actual feeding, slower flow).

Very bad smell

The tubes have very very bad and strong plastic smell. Even after I washed the tubes and boiled them with hot water again, the smell was still very strong. The other plastic products from medela do not have the same smell. For the babies' safty, I do NOT recommend the product to anyone.
