Sanitary and Safe
Because baby's safety is so important, this kit helps ensure that the milk he or she drinks is fresh and sanitary. First, each piece is made of durable plastic that's specially designed for safe, long-term storage of breast milk. Additionally, the small plastic nipple covers fit tightly over the nipples and protect them from contamination.
These caps are also great for traveling and can even be used as a cup, if need be. When it comes time to measuring exactly how much baby is consuming, the colorful, easy-to-read volume marks in ounces and milliliters allow you to keep easy track both before and after feedings.

If you are going to use them also for feeding I found the nipples to flow to quickly for my little one. I used a different bottle for feeding and wish I would have gotten nestmom.com website before purchasing as I got their mother milkmate storage system for 27.00. It includes 10 5oz bottles and a handy rack for the freezer keeping oldest milk in front. The 27 also includes shipping - The bottles fit on both medela and ameda breast pumps. It is well worth the money and wish I hadn't bought the medela bottles as they are no longer being used. 103 of 104 people found the following review helpful: By Anne-Kari "annekari" (Virginia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding Set (Baby Product) I like all the Medela products, but this came with a few items that I really didn't need. On the plus side, the bottles are sturdy, the caps seal tightly, and the whole thing works with the 'pump in style' breast pump I was using. Also, the nipple-rings are great and work with any brand of nipple you buy. The bottles are also great for freezing milk.On the negative side, the little discs that go with the nipple rings that they include to create a 'temporary' cap is pretty useless. I wish they had just provided a few more 'full' caps which provide a better seal. Also, the nipples for all the Medela products were never a favorite with my son, though that might be a personally preference of his. I just use the Playtex or Evenflo nipples with these bottles, and they work just fine. Last, for some reason, the other caps they provide that are supposed to fit over the nipple & nipple-ring never really fit, so it would often leak out into the diaper bag. Bottom line: Worth it,...Read more 73 of 75 people found the following review helpful: By Elizabeth D (West Springfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding Set (Baby Product) We purchased these bottles as a way to store breastmilk so my husband could enjoy feeding our son. After I had difficulty nursing, I stopped breastfeeding when our son was 2 months old. These bottles proved more valuable than I had thought. They are great for moms who want to continue to give their babies the benefits of breastfeeding but are unable to. I love them because they were great for pumping because they fit right onto any Medela pump, then you can either use it to feed your baby by adding the nipple, or store it in the fridge or freezer. I especially liked them because it had markings in ounces to let me know how much I pumped. I never had to guess if my son was getting enough milk. The nipple appeared to give our son the same feeling as if he were breastfeeding. He had to work at sucking like he did when he was breastfeeding unlike the usual bottles where it steadily flowed into his mouth. I would recommend these bottles to anyone who is going back to work and is...Read more |
