Breast milk storage?

Question

Help! 36w FTM, I'm trying to get my last things in order before baby gets here. I plan on EBF, but I have a double breast pump from Bellema as well. It only came with 2 bottles, and I'm not sure what to use as storage. Can I use any bottles? Or should I get bags for the breast milk? What's the best brand? 
They seem sooo expensive to me! 
Please help 😞

Answer

I recommend the Lasinoh bags for storage. Store 4 oz per bag and freeze them flat!

Answer

Yea you'll need bags. Just wait until you see how quickly you run through them, they're just more practical. I get Lansinoh milk storage bags and just dump the milk into them and freeze and wash bottle for next pump session. Bags take up less space too.

Answer

I used the target brand storage bags they worked just fine

Answer

I ordered a box of bags off amazon, super cheap too.. I wanna say it was $8

Answer

The bags aren't expensive at all. I spent like$10 on a box of them at target on my first...used them for almost a year and still have some leftover to use this time with my second. I also bought an extra pack of bottles with lids to go with my Mandela pump. However milk only stays good for a little bit in the fridge so if you plan on making a stash you will need the bags to freeze safely.

Answer

You can use any bottles and just transfer it into them and rinse the breast pump one and put them back on pump. If your going to freeze milk I would recommend storing in bags otherwise you would need lots of bottles X z
