Philips AVENT BPA Free VIA Breast Milk Storage Starter Kit

I was super excited to find this storage system, as it's more economical and environmentally friendly than bags. Unfortunately, they leak. The lid has to be on exactly right, which also makes it difficult to open without torquing it hard enough to spill anyway. I've lost entire containers of milk in the fridge and in the diaper bag. It's more common for them to spill than not. As a working mom, I have to pump at work and barely get enough to feed my baby for a day. Nearly every day I lose milk because of these containers. Save yourself the heartache and try something else.

I am on my second child now and still using this same milk storage set as I bought when my first was born. We have used these for breast milk storage, drinking cups, home-made pureed baby food storage, snack cups and now we're back to milk storage again. They stack nicely in the cabinet. The lids do have to be put on straight so they don't leak, but once you've done it once and see how they have to be put on it's not hard anymore. These little cups really go the distance! I put them in the dishwasher and they have held up beautifully.

I was very excited to avoid the messiness of pouring my expressed milk into a separate container for freezing and then into a bottle but it was not worth it. Here's the problem: if the lid is not on the bottle absolutely perfectly, it will spill. All over the fridge or all over your baby while feeding from these containers. If you freeze them and then heat them up, they warp just enough to make gaps that let them spill, which is exactly what you do when feeding a baby. I have completely stopped using them. I would never ever recommend them to a nursing mom. Buy the Lanisoh bags instead. They are 100% reliable.

I bought these storage containers because it was less expensive than repeatedly buying storage bags since these are re-usable. They leak when the milk is in a liquid state, which is a major downside. I still use them because they save money, but I have to constantly make sure that they're upright if they're out of the freezer.

These are a great idea. I was excited to be able to just open the package and start pumping without having to pre-sterilize. I was however disappointed with these. The lids are a bit difficult to get on straight, and if they are not on just right they leak. Also once the lids are on securely it is sometimes difficult to get them off. The containers are a bit flimsy. They are however very convenient to store since they are stackable and the lids snap together. I have never tried to feed from them. I mainly use these to store breast milk in my firdge, as they take up a lot of room in the freezer. I do not think i would buy these again.

I got these when my son was born & still use them. He is now 6 yrs old. I have a new baby girl on the way & am registering for more. They are very durable & extremely handy. Seal tight, obviously i love them.

due to having an internally tapped lid if you do not almost completely unscrew lid before thawing you will have to break lid to open due to the vacuum it creates

I bought these over 2 years ago and I still use them. I never really pumped directly into or used them to feed my daughter out of them but I did use them for Breast milk storage. These were great for breast milk that I stored in the fridge.

Then as my daughter grow I started to use these to send homemade baby food to daycare then finger snack like gold fish. I still use them now to send in my daughters lunch to pre-school and we put anything from veggie, cut up sandwiches, fresh fruit and snacks in them. She is now 2.5 years old and they fit perfectly into her little hands.

These are great for lunches,snacks and travel. They also stack together to save space on the counter, the lids also snap together.

I got on Babies R Us to buy a baby gift for a baby shower.

I use these with my Avent hand pump. They work well and I like the fact that they are reusable.

These are awesome! I occasionally pumped and stored milk in them when my babies was tiny, now I use them for snacks and lunches for daycare for the older one, and to store pureed foods for the little one.
I find these cups super-convenient, esp. for lunches: I give my daughter 1 cup with veggies, 1 cup with fruit pieces, and 1 cup with pasta/rice or whatever else...
They never leaked for me.
