Kiinde breastfeeding storage and lasinoh electric pump?

Question

What does everyone think about the whole kiinde setup, and the lasinoh breast pump?

Answer

I have the Kiinde system and a Medela pump. I haven't used either yet but the Kiinde system got good reviews on Amazon.

Answer

I have gotten a lot of the kiinde products, as well as the medela pump. the medela pumps has been voted #1 on a lot of sites. I personally like that the kiinde set has adapters that can be used with different nipples from other brands. it seem that it will be the most useful in case of a picky baby.

Answer

I have it but I didn't get to use it completely because my daughter refused to take any kind of bottle. For pumping and storage though it's great. You have to watch out for the measurements because they're not always right on but otherwise it was great.

Answer

I have it and love it. I pump first into bottles and then place it into the bags. I got it because my mom has trouble with ziplock bags so the twist tops was a plus. The warmer is easy to use and I like that I can use any nipple. My EBF baby was very picky on bottles. We went through about 4 different brands until we found one he liked. The lansinoh momma bottle/nipple was the winner. My only two complaints is that the bags does not freeze flat so they are hard to store (I need another freezer) and that the measures are inaccurate.

Answer

I am trying Kiinde! I had two friends tell me how much they loved it, and have now watched about 20 YouTube videos to really understand it. It looks AWESOME! You can pump right into the pouches*, refrigerate or freeze, then pouches snap in the bottle frame for feeding and you add a nipple (and converters let you use any brand). When baby is done, you just unsnap the pouch (rinse and put in recycling bin), and wash the nipple piece. Viola! I am sold. Washing bottles constantly sounds like a pain - the pump parts and nipples will be enough work!

*some women do still pump into the Medela bottles because they found the pouches tricky, then pour in the pouch. But at least you are still skipping the step of pouring from pouch back into a drinking bottle later!

Interested if anyone else is trying this? BTW Kiinde is on sale at Zulily right now! I had it on my Amazon registry but it was still $100 so when I saw it on Zulily I snatched it up (along with the extra adapter set). Seems like a steal - the bottle warmer itself is usually more!

If you don't have a Zulily accout, here's a referral link:

Note: yes, there is a small referral bonus - but really I just wanted to share this sale, whether you use my link or not (many people already have accounts with Zulily anyway). Lead time on this item is longer (Zulily's biz model = long lead times), so I ordered 2 days ago and was told it'll arrive in 20 days  (no problem for me since I'm due in Oct!).
