Great for storage, iffy for use with adapter for feeding,

These VIA containers are great for milk storage. Easy to clean and easy to stack. However, I have had issues with using them with the blue adapter top for feeding from it. No matter how firm or hard I screw on the adapter, when the entire unit is assembled, sometimes the bottom cup will just unscrew and fall off. After having one too many bottles of pumped milk fall on the floor or come apart on the counter, etc. I refuse to use these for feeding from.
I do use these with the Avent ISIS for pumping and then immediate storage. However, your better off transferring the milk to a regular hard plastic Avent bottle to do feeding from, don't use these for feedings.

Good concept but the lids aren't,

I like the concept that you can pump right into them and feed out of them as well. The problem is that the blue lids are a pain in the butt to get off but if you don't screw them on tight enough then they will leak. I bought two boxes of them and I am kind of disappointed because I have really ended up not liking to use them because they are two hard to get the lids off and at 2am you don't want to fight with the lids and then spilling it all over the place.

I bought these to store my milk in while I pumped at work. I liked that they hold about 6 oz, and I use Avent bottles, and thought it'd be good quality. I was VERY disappointed because once you start using them, the lids stop working properly- they become extremely hard to close because they don't seem to screw on correctly. And once you think it's screwed in well, you push down on the lid and it's still loose. Many times when I get home, I find that milk has spilled out of the bottles while I was driving!! And another problem is that when milk gets in the grooves of the lid, it makes it really hard to open. And when you put it in the refrigerator, and milk gets cold, it's almost like it becomes glue in the grooves. So you're fighting to open the lid, just to have it spill when you finally open it because you're using so much force. Sure, it's nice that the bottles stack, and it's easy to store the lids together, but at the end of the day, do not use this to store milk. I'm a...Read more
