Do you have to attach it to the pump or can you pump into a bottle and pour milk into pouch?

Did you meant to ask, "do you have to attach it to the POUCH or can you pump into a bottle and pour milk into pouch?" if so, the answer is no - once you buy this adapter you can still pump into bottles. However you would just use the pump WITHOUT these adaptors. Or I think you can probably find bottles that these adaptors screw directly on to but this would be pointless - it's just an extra item to clean. So you can either buy this adaptor in order to pump into bags or just connect bottles directly to the pump. Please let me know if this answers your question.

You can do either. It's better to do it directly so you don't lose milk in the transfer.

You don not have to attach it. you can use it like a traditional bag, but the design is to cut out that step. with the adapter you can pump directly into the bag, because the bag becomes the bottle.

You can do either. You can easily pour from a bottle into the bags, or you can pump directly into the bag. They have adaptors for most breast pumps. I will say my medela pump in style had trouble pumping directly into the bag so I poured from a bottle.

These adapters attach to your pump so that you can pump into bags that are sold separately by this company. Kiinde not only makes these adapters but also makes the bags and something you snap the bags into to cut down the need for lots of bottles.

Yes you can pump into a bottle then transfer the milk to the bag. That's how I did it bc I the adapter did not work well at all with my pump (Phillips avent)

Either works. It's nice to be able to attach it to the pump, because then you don't have a bottle to wash.

Hello nerdy mom :-) Yes, I have the Medela Pump in Style Advanced, and I pump directly into the bottle.

you can carry it in your purse it does not need to be in the fridge this stuff really works. I have to let my milk set for 3 days before I can use it. It does not work instantly.

They would be a bit heavy to attach to medela pump. Especially if you wear any hands free holding bra, it would pull the whole thing down. I pump with my medela and then just transfer the milk. I know it's two more parts to wash, but it is ok.

It depends if your baby like the milk cold or warm. You can warm it up in hot water or bottle warmer.

Avent sells an adapter that connects their bottles to a medela breast pump. I have a Medela pump in style and pump directly into these bottles, then add a nipple for daycare feedings.

Yes! There is an adaptator that comes with the Kindee kit but be careful. If you twist it on too tight, the adapter will detach from the pump. You can only imagine what would happen next...the bag will fall and you'll milk will be every where. I've lost 6oz. Of milk in one session because of this so I've come to hold the adapter and breast pump shield just in case.

The pump is not designed to have milk travel through the tubes. There is always the chance milk may enter the tube by accident, if this happens the tubes can be removed, hand washed and air dried by hanging them over a doorknob. I have also dried my tubes by holding one end tight and spinning the long end over my head helicopter or lasso style. But ideally no milk should ever enter the tubes.

yes, I have done so and it comes with the needed ball attachment. You screw that into the pump part, and insert into the ball. As i mentioned in my review, i just wish it had some compartment to store that tiny attachment so it's not so easy to lose. But its a great quality pump!

I do the same thing...I use the plastic bottle to pump with and then pour it into the glass bottle. Otherwise the glass bottle keeps coming unscrewed while pumping. And it makes the pump heavier to hold.

If you store the milk in bags, instead of bottles, the bags are best warmed in a bowl of warm water; this goes especially quick, if you store the bags lying flat. I breastfed, and hardly gave bottles, I used my warmer a couple of times, but found it to be unnecessary. Personal preference, I suppose. I had a number of different bottles that I tried, all of them fit in the warmer. Later, I used this a few times to heat up frozen food, it worked well, but I didn't stick with it.

I pumped into the bottles and then stored the milk in the medela freezer bags. I usually had 2-3 bottles in the fridge ready to go and then I would just freeze the rest. I had ALOT of bottles but that was just my preference because I didn't want to have to wash bottles constantly.

I freeze the bag flat at the back of the container then move it to the front to stand up, theres no way the milk will lay flat if you store the bag upright immediately, it will gather at the bottom of the bag, even when I use the plastic insert. I use Medela bags

No, you can just blow into the nipple, it's just like a larger version of a beach ball's nipple, you fill it up and then quickly insert the attached plug that you've been holding back with a finger or two, into the hole. It's very easy and does not need a pump.

The pump comes with 5-6 (6 oz) plastic bottles to pump into. You can then empty the milk into whatever bottles or containers you want for storage or feeding.

I don't think they can be used to attach to other pumps, but you can certainly pump milk with your usual pump and then pour it into these containers for storage!

The bottles have to be full in order to pump. It uses suction since it's not like a traditional pump where the tube extends to the bottom of the container. I actually just filled mine today and at first I had it about 3/4ths of the way full and it wouldn't pump, but when I filled it up more it worked perfectly.
