Milkies Milk Saver

I don't often love or hate something enough to bother writing a review, but this product is worth me taking the time to tell you how awesome it is! And I say this even though, as a new parent, my free time is rather limited! Put this handy gadget in your bra to collect milk that drips from the non-nursing side while you're nursing or pumping. When I remember to use the milk saver at several feedings per day, I easily collect enough milk for an extra feeding for my baby every day - about a half-ounce per feeding if I'm very full, less otherwise. I get a little over 2 oz total per day. I never realized how much milk was going to waste dripping into a nursing pad!

(The other way to prevent milk going to waste would be to pump from one side while baby is nursing the other, but I always find doing so a bit precarious if baby starts flailing around. The milk saver is secure even with the baby moving around.)

if you are breastfeeding your baby i highly recommend this product. i found the milk saver very useful because when my milk lets down during nursing, i leak a lot! it just catches what i leak and i can serve it in a bottle later. although i really love this product there are a few things that are kind of annoying--it takes a long time to dry and you need to be wearing a nursing tank or bra to hold it in place. i collect about 1/2-1 oz of milk each time i nurse, which comes to about 3-4 oz a day. this is such a great time saver and wonderful invention! i love the milk saver! it is totally worth the money!

I thought these would be a little more worth the money than they are. Yes, you collect milk. It does have a way to attach bags directly to the collector, but they are difficult to attach. Then, of course, more than once, I put the baby on the floor after feeding and oops, there went all the milk. Pumping while nursing would have been just as effective and I wouldn't have lost all that milk by putting down the baby. These aren't something you are going to wear in your bra all day collecting milk (which was kind of my impression). You just wear them while nursing.
