where to get milk storage bags?

I have to be able to get them somewhere other than Buy Buy Baby, right? Do they sell them at CVS or Giant or somewhere else convenient? Because we are currently without a car and have an over-abundance of pumped milk.

Re: where to get milk storage bags?

  • Target. I think our Giant has the Gerber ones, but I think the Gerber ones kind of suck.

    If you go through them fast, you might think about this Amazon subscription deal:

    https://www.amazon.com/Lansinoh-20435-Breastmilk-Storage-25-Count/dp/B001EPQ1QW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1261602404&sr=8-1

     I haven't tried it yet, but someone on the BFing board raved about it. It brings the cost down a bit and there's free shipping.

  • You are full of tips today! Thanks. Do you like the Lansinoh bags? I've only ever used Medela.

  • I do like the Lansinoh ones a lot. I haven't tried Medela, but I don't have a Medela pump, so pumping directly into the bag is not a benefit for me, and Lansinoh is cheaper. The flaps make them really easy to pour out of and I've never had one leak (knock on wood).

  • I go through them fast too so I stock up when I do get them.  Sometimes Amazon, Target, or BRU have them on sale so when I see them on sale that's usually when I stock up.  You can also get them on Diapers.com which if you've ever ordered from there, they have coupon and shipping deals all the time and they ship super fast!

  • Ditto the diapers.com idea if you need them quickly.  They ship things very quickly.  I also have done drugstore.com - they sometimes have sales - but they don't ship as quickly.

  • Yup diapers.com...what a wonderful thing. I like the Lanoish ones too especially because I can put 12 oz of milk into one bag.  Now that I'm finally using my freezer stash it's nice to have large quantities freezed but also wish I did some with smaller amounts.
