BM storage bottles from NICU?

Hi ladies,

I've been EPing since my girls were born at 32 weeks and I was given a few 3-packs of bottles from the NICU. I'm not sure if they were meant for long-term use, but they are all I've got and they are starting to get worn down. So now I'm wondering if I can buy them somewhere or if anyone has extras they could send me if I pay for shipping? Any ideas where I might be able to get these?

The bottles are 4 oz, clear with a white lid that says "Similac Isomil" and a teddy bear.

TIA! :)

    I liked these: https://www.snappiescontainers.com/product/snappies.aspx?id=1

    But unfortunately they only come in 1oz and 2.3oz sizes. I wish they had a 4oz and maybe even an 8oz option.

    Oh I do love those snappies!! They definitely need to make bigger sizes! I've got to get some 4 oz containers because I use them for storing my milk in the fridge, and I need quite a few of them because I am constantly rotating them in and out and washing them all the time. I like the Medela 4 oz but they are almost $5 each! Thats why I am trying to find the 3-packs they gave me in the NICU :)

    When we ran out of the NICU bottles, I switched to the Lansinoh storage bags. They are a lot easier to store (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4nr7hxToiY) and hold up to 8 oz easily.

    I use the Lansinoh storage bags too.  But if you have your heart set on bottles, go to target or walmart and pick up some gerber bottles.  They come in 4oz and 9oz and they are $.90-1 each. 

    These come 12 for $15..  This is the kind they gave me in the hospital.  

    Or these 144 for 114.

    My NICU has the similac bottles in 4 packs, but they are only 2oz each. If those will work for you I would be happy to grab a bunch tonight and I can send them to you. They have huge bins of them and I just take what I need so it wouldn't be a problem at all. Let me know and I will get them out to you ASAP!
