  I'm confused about your question - are you wanting to put the Lansinoh bags into the bottle instead of a drop-in liner? If so, no, that won't work. You need to use the drop-in liners which are made to fit right into the drop-in bottles and be secured on by the ring that holds the nipple on. I pump into the little bottles that came with my pump (or the extra compatible ones I bought) and then either leave it in those bottles to store in the fridge, or pour into a Lansinoh bag to freeze. Then the milk gets poured into a drop-in at feeding time.

  ETA: You can buy generic versions of the drop-in liners for cheaper than the playtex ones.

  Ditto pp--you can't put the lansinoh bags into the bottles. You have to use drop-ins, either playtex or generic. But you can pump into the bottles and put it either straight into the drop-in and the bottle, or if you're planning to freeze it, use the lansinoh bags.  I also just store milk in the pump bottles for a while if I'm not sure yet whether ds will eat it or I'll freeze it.

  I posted yesterday that I've been using a Playtex one step storage system or something like that.  It comes with an adapter that goes on the pump and allows you to pump directly into the drop-in and discs to seal the drop-ins.  Your set might come with that.  Anyhow, then you can seal up the drop-in and save it.  I use that during the week for milk I know DS will drink.  It's convenient, but not necessary.

  But for freezing, I still use the lansinoh because the playtex would be bulky and you'd have to buy more sealing discs.

  I was told you could and other people have donw it.  I did not use drop ins so I was never able to test it out.  I have a ton of drops in now but all my bags are in a differant box under the 20 other boxes of my daughters stuff.

  The easiest thing for me was just to pump into medela pump bottles then decide what I wanted to freeze, refrigerate, or bottle up for immediate use.  So many things are up in the air, why waste a freezer bag if you can only fill it up a little, etc.

  I also like pumping into bottle because they can rest on my thighs so I can be hands free to read a mag, or nest!

  I use the lansinoh bag instead of the drop-ins. I have never had a problem. I pump it into medela bottles then pour in the the bag, freeze and when it's time to make a bottle I just thaw out the bag and drop into the bottle screw on the nipple.
