breast milk storage bottles

I'm going to get the gerber bottles from walmart. My sister has them & they work fine so i thought I'd try them, but if I'm pumping what bottles would I store the milk in? Or should I just get storage bags?? & if i get storage bags do i just pour the milk in the bottle when im ready to feed? Ugh. So confused lol help!

html This is a good site on storage, and you can buy breast milk storage bags. You can freeze milk in them as well.

Usually breast pumps come with one or two bottles (depending on whether you got a single or double pump). Once you have pumped dump the milk into breast milk storage bags, or you can pour the milk into what ever type of bottles you and your baby prefer to use.

you can store it in the fridge for 2-3 days just make sure you date the milk also it can go in the freezer i think for upto 6 months and it is good to use the breast milk storage bags so you can date them also and then you can take them straight from the freezer and put the bag in the baby bottle warmer. when you buy the breast pump there should be a little book about breast feeding and everything that comes with it.

I posted this in the Breastfeeding community as well, but I figured I'd post her as well, since this community tends to get more visitors. I pump twice a day at work, and usually get around 14-15 oz out of those two sessions, so I bring 2 8 oz storage bottles with me and that's always been enough. But my breasts are apparently on overdrive today, and I just got 14 oz (!!) out of just the first session.

Can you use different brands for breast feeding accessories for example if you have a medela pump can you use regular bottles and milk storage bags? or does everything have to be medela? thanks in advance foe your responses!

My bottles won't fit and I was wondering what did you use to store your breast milk in? I've looked at Walmart and the first years website. Can you use any milk storage bag? I have two bottles that came with the pump can I use them and just pour the milk in the storage bag? Or will that mess up with me pumping?

Thank you :)

U actually freeze breast milk in special bags made for storage

For breastfeeding, I personally suggest a pump and storage (like bottles and/or freezer bags) for the milk.

I have a question for all the moms out there. I am 39 weeks tomorrow it will be my second daughter my 1st is now 7 years old. With my 1st I did not breastfeed at all not in the hospital or out of the hospital she was on formula from day one. My question is now with my second I still do not plan on breastfeeding from my breasts it not something thats gonna ever be on my agenda, but I do want to pump and bottle feed.

Our hospital hands out flyers with breast feeding and milk storage tips when you leave the hospital. I breastfeed but my little one didnt take a bottle so i cant help you with the tips! There are lots of guidelines though like how long in the fridge and or freezer and how long at room temp!

Baby on breast will save you time pumping, cleaning supplies, buying expensive supplies such as bottles, breast pump, sterilizer bags, breast milk storage, dish detergent, cleaning racks, cleaning baskets, etc. (even though if you don't plan on using a pump, I still recommend a manual one just in case you need to leave your baby and a few bottles.) Whereas breast feeding from the breast gives you a special bond with your child. There is a lot of research out there about it.

I'm trying to choose the best breast pump and milk storage system I can find. I travel extensively for work and I'll even be pumping in the car. I found the Kiinde system; which looks awesome. But, I'm not sure what I will be able to express from each breast at each pumping session. Ideally, I would like to pump directly into the storage bag, freeze it, thaw it, and feed directly from the bag. That is how the Kiinde system is intended to be used.

If breast feeding you will need a breast pump, breast pads, nursing bra, storage bags for milk, also some onesies and sleepers for baby. You will need alot more diapers than you have right now. Maybe a sling to carry baby? It's optional but it makes it easier for you to do stuff around the house. Lots of socks and mittens.

If i wanna go out one night how can i store all my milk? I only have like 4 bottles.. Can i pump it all into a litre bottle or something and then my mum can pour small amounts into baby bottles? I tried ringing a breastfeeding hotline but of course its too busy -.

Personal care items such as breast pads, lanolin (or another brand nipples cream), a few nursing bras. I used milk storage bags for expressed milk as they're easier to store than the small bottles you can buy. I used a good nursing pillow...absolute god send when hours spent breastfeeding! I think that's pretty much all I needed.

Personally I liked the playtex drop in bottles. I used the air vent ( I found they leak) and glass bottles (heavy to lug around) and Dr Brown's are a pain in the rear to clean. It's trial and error for you. I breast fed and the drop in bottles worked best for my milk storage containers. You can always try 1 or 2 of each and see what you like best.

Breast pump, storage bags, bottles and nipple cream!

I want to breast feed and was wondering this, I'm taking breast pads, my manual pump, bottles, nipple cream & nursing bras..

I read a lot of reviews about it and most people seem to buy and prefer medela. I also bought a pack of 12 milk storage bottles of medela which together was about 65.00 @ target not bad for me thought it would be more.

Make sure you check with your insurance if you're eligible for a breast pump. But definitely get a breast pump, breast pads, breast milk storage (bags or bottles) and burp cloths for baby (it's way easier to use than a bib. If you have inverted nipples, get a nipple shield to help baby suck. Umm...and best of luck!

Draining your breasts with a pump too will really help your supply. You can save breast milk with storage bags or bottles and putting them in the freezer or fridge, you can thaw it out in the fridge or you can use warm water in a bowl and set the bag or bottle into the warm water and that thaws it, try to avoid microwaves because it kills the nutrients in the breast milk. here's a great site on storage and handling of breast milk http://breastfeeding.hypermart.net/storagehandling.

what bottles do you ladies recommend? when my baby is born id like to pump out my milk and put it in a bottle but not sure which to get as there are so many options!

t do this. You just put the milk in milk storage bags and saved it in the freezer.
