Playtex dropins and pumping

JustinelnewJustinelnew member

So I am 30 weeks and trying to get everything situated for baby's arrival. This is baby #3 so no shower, but was also unexpected so I didn't save much from #2. When I nursed my son, I used drop in liners when I went back to work, for pumping and storage. Back 4 years ago, playtex made this neat cap so I didnt have a million bottles in my freezer but now I can't find them for sale. Does anyone else pump into playtex drop ins, and how do you store them?

    I use Playtex Drop ins and bottles but I don't pump into the drop ins. I am trying to imagine how that would be feasible since the drop in bags are open ended with no way to close the top part. I use a Medela PSA and pump into bottles then I transfer into Lanisoh bags. I used to use the Medela bags but they got to be too expensive! Then I use the Playtex drops in when I'm actually making the bottle.

    They don't make the drop ins like they used to. They are the form of the bottle now and not like a bag that you rubber band close. I buy milk storage bags at target and then pour them into the drop ins. Playtext is still my favorite afte 4 kids

    I have Medela storage bags, which came with an attachment (a funnel really) to pump straight into the bags, but the bags don't transfer to the bottles. I dont use the attachment because I'm so afraid I'll spill lol!

    I pump into small bottles and keep 1 or 2 in the fridge in case I need. When I have plenty in the fridge I transfer the oldest to a Medela bag and freeze it.
