of my favorite baby bottles<\/a>). Dr Brown\u2019s used to me the milk storage bag that I recommended above all others and used them without leaks with my first child. Then they went and changed the thickness of the plastic.<\/p>\n\nSince the change; the Dr Brown\u2019s bag is nearly identical<\/span> to the NUK milk bag above, right down to quality and construction. The main difference is cost. Yep, Dr Brown\u2019s bags cost a whole lot more.<\/p>\n\nThe only thing I prefer on the Dr Brown\u2019s bag over the NUK Seal \u2018N Go is the measurement guide printed on the front of the bag is a little more accurate without fiddling and adjusting the bag.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
THE BOTTOM LINE<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhile there will be many of you who choose this bag over the NUK because of the brand name alone, you are essentially paying more for the exact same product. You will be just as happy with the NUK bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHolds up to:<\/strong> 6 oz (large)<\/p>\n\nI went out and bought Lansinoh bags just for this review. They are by far the most well known of breast milk storage bags available with nearly every mommy in my friendship group having used them at least once.<\/p>\n\n
There are two features that stand out on the Lansinoh bags, the spout and the value.<\/p>\n\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the spout first. It is pretty fantastic. Besides the Kiinde milk storage bags (which really are in a league of their own), I had the easiest time pouring milk from the Lansinoh. After using it I am sure you will agree \u2013 whoever designed the spout should be given a payrise.<\/p>\n\n
The cost speaks for itself, for a box of one hundred, these are some of the most competitive milk storage bags available when it comes to your budget.<\/p>\n\n
Unfortunately that is where my praise for these bags ends. Out of the hundred bags, 8 leaked on me. All during the thawing stage. That is a 8 meals that my baby missed out on because these bags couldn\u2019t do their job properly.<\/p>\n\n
Speaking to other parents, this seems to be a common trend. Out of my entire mommy friendship circle, not one could say that they did not have a Lansinoh bag leak on them.<\/p>\n\n
This is a huge shame because this was definitely in the running for my favorite breast milk storage bag. If the bags didn\u2019t leak (or less did, say 1\/100) then I would completely stand behind this product.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
LANSINOH BREASTMILK STORAGE BAGS REVIEW<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\nA brilliant product flawed by a few too many bags leaking. If you are able to score a pack where none of the bags leak then you will absolutely love these. But based on my experience I can only politely<\/em> refer to them as frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Medela Pump and Save Breast Milk Bags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHolds up to:<\/strong> 5oz<\/p>\n\nBeing made by Medela (the same brand as my breast pump) I thought I was onto a clear winner with these breast milk bags. Included in the box is an adapter that connects straight to the bottom of your Medela pump.<\/p>\n\n
Pumping straight into the bag? It doesn\u2019t get easier than that. Not needing to transfer breast milk between containers not only saves time but also results in less cleaning.<\/p>\n\n
Two huge<\/strong> bonuses for any time poor parent!<\/p>\n\nThe system works surprisingly well, allowing you to pump directly into the bag without any spills or fuss. You do pay extra for this feature. If you are looking for the cheapest milk storage bags then these definitely are not it.<\/p>\n\n
Just look at that. Isn\u2019t it beautiful?<\/p>\n\n
Encouraged by these awesome features I bought a 50 pack. That\u2019s when things turned sour\u2026<\/p>\n\n
Out of the 50 bags, 5 leaked. Even though I followed the instructions perfectly, 5 burst at the seams when thawing. That\u2019s a 10% failure rate.<\/p>\n\n
When I jumped online to leave a negative review I was not surprised to discover many other parents had been having the exact same problem as me<\/strong>. So it wasn\u2019t just a bad batch that I bought, it seems to be a common problem with this storage bag.<\/p>\n\nLet\u2019s say your bag doesn\u2019t leak. Then you have to deal with pouring them\u2026<\/p>\n\n
Have you ever used the toilet after a male and noticed there is pee ><\/span> I always wondered how aiming could be so difficult.<\/p>\n\nPouring milk from this bag is a nightmare<\/strong>, especially if you are holding your hungry baby in your other hand. Be prepared to clean up after serving your baby his milky meal.<\/p>\n\nOh, and while I am complaining (these storage bags !@#%ed me off). These bags are freezer hogs. They don\u2019t freeze flat:<\/span>. The bags are thicker at the base and take up a whole lot of room, particularly when standing up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMEDELA PUMP AND SAVE BAGS REVIEW<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you want a bag that hooks straight up to your breast pump out of the box then this is your only choice. A great idea let down by a poorly designed bag. I cannot recommend these based on my experience. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can pick them up .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
