Best Storage Bags on the Market! - R. Wiegand, Apr 18, 2008

These Lansinoh bags are the best. Super-strong, never had them leak, freeze well, and thaw in hot water without any problems. I've tried the Medela ones that came with my Pump-in-Style and have been disappointed repeatedly with how easily they tear and leak. Also tried the Gerber bags and while they're not bad, they're not nearly as good as these, IMO. I pump three times daily while at work and have never had any problems. Nice that you can write the capacity and date on the top. I don't trust the measurements on the side since it doesn't always read accurately. These are roomy and sturdy. I keep mine standing in a row in the freezer and never have any problems.

These are great, but DO NOT RELY ON MEASUREMENTS! - Ilse in Chicago, Mar 27, 2008

I echo all the positive feedback from the other reviews, so I won't waste the readers' time with that here. Definitely buy these bags, however DO NOT RELY ON THE MEASUREMENTS ON THE BAG! They are not even close, and the fact that they show a higher volume of milk than is actually in the bag is a little dangerous -- my nanny recorded for 2 weeks that she was feeding my son 6 oz of milk at each feeding when he was actually only getting 4. Just make sure to write the volume on top of the bag and explain this to anyone else who will be feeding your baby -- otherwise they might rely on it!

Best storage on the market - doramlam, Jan 12, 2008

I've tried a few other milk storage systems, including the medela bags (which you can pump directly into) and the hard plastic containers (like Avent). This is, by far, the most useful and most economical storage systemm.

Pros:
1. The bags have a double-zip closure. This ensures that the bag seals well and doesn't leak. Also, when you push the air out, a few drops of milk always slip out, but it usually doesn't get past the second zip-closure. The bags are superior to the hard containers because you can squeeze the air out and prevent freezer burn.

2. These lay flat! I put my warm bags of milk into a rectangular Tuppperware container and stack them up on top of one another. Then, I put them into the freezer, and they freeze perfectly flat, which the Medela bags don't do. Once they are frozen into flat blocks, I stack 10 blocks in a one gallon Ziploc freezer bag and label and date the Ziploc bag. This goes into the deep freeze.

3. They are spacious! They recommend that you put 6oz of milk into the bag, but these bags are quite large and will definitely hold more than 6oz. As one reviewer said, they can put up to 12oz into the bag. The reason why the company says 6oz is so the bag can lay flat. Once it fills too much, it won't lay flat as well, but you can save quite a bit of money by overfiling these. The Medela bags are small in comparison, and hold 5oz at the max, and they also do not lay flat.

4. They are economical. These were the most economical bags on the market, too. They fit more milk than any other bag. I use the Amazon "subscribe and save" option for free shipping and save another 15% off the price. I don't know how long that promotion will run. While you can't pump into the bag like you can with the Medela bags, I have found that I run out of space in the Medela bags anyway, since they only hold 5oz, and sometimes I do pump more than 5oz in one session.

5. They are safe for baby. Obviously, they are sterile. They have a tear-off tab at the opening to break the seal. The plastic does not contain any chemical softeners. And, there is a tab of plastic that is away from the milk where you can write your name and date on the bag. This prevents any chemicals from your pen leaching into the milk. This is good for me, since I use a Sharpie pen, and I am sure there are chemicals that could potentially leach through the bag.

6. Easy to defrost and use the milk. When I defrost, I again put the bag into a Tupperware in case of small nicks in the bags or leakage. I have not had a problem with leakage, yet.

Cons:
1. The one major thing that bothered me in the beginning was that the volume measurements on the bag were estimates and not accurate like the hard container storage systems. But, I just use the bottle that I pumped into to measure out my 6oz, and then pour it in. I've also gotten quite good at eyeballing 6oz on the bag.

Not much else to complain about. I've been really happy with these bags, so far.

Leaky Bags - Nikki, Nov 02, 2007

I am very dissapointed with this product. I have frozen over 100 bags of milk. Some where they were laid out flat some where they weren't. I realeased the air out of all the bags. I have begun using this milk and I put it in the fridge the night before. 7 out of the 12 bags I have thawed have leaked. This is very upsetting to me. It is important to me that my son gets breastmilk and when this happens I have to supplement with formula as I don't always produce enough. I have concerns of contamination therefore I don't use a bag that has leaked. This company should be ashamed.

Simple and comfortable to use - Badolina, Oct 21, 2007

Pro - simple, comfortable, clean, sealed.
Con - volume not accurately measures (but that's okay. Measure before you pour in)
