breast milk storage bags?

k80jane · December 2010

so i guess i just assumed that these are reusable, but i see that there's a cut line to get the milk out when you need it.

do they make reusable storage bags?

do you have to get the same brand bags as your pump?

Not certain about reusable bags, but there are reusable freezer containers. When I posted about this a week or so ago on the breastfeeding board I learned that teh brand does not need to match the pump-I have a medela pump, but many people said teh lansinoh bags were best for freezing, so I bought a pack of the medela and the lansinoh. I figure I will try both.

I EPed for nearly a year and very rarely had problems with the lansinoh bags. They are not reusable.

You don't cut anything to get the milk out. They zipper seal like regular storage bags but they are not reusable.

You don't have to get the same brand as your pump but I think you can pump directly into the Medela bags if you have a PISA. I prefer the Lansinoh brand bags though so I just pump into the bottles and then pour the milk into a bag for freezing.
