If you use this and pump directly into the bottle...I take it you stored the bottles instead of bags? About how many bottles did you need?

I still store in bags. I suppose bags vs bottles depends on how much milk you're producing & how fast you go through it.

We used six bottles I beleive. But we also supplemented with formula. So it really depends how much you are going to be pumping. Hope that helps.

I pump into the bottles, but back when I was making more than he needed for daycare, I froze in the lansinoh bags. I kept in the bottles for what he needed for the next 2-3 days. I have 9 bottles and that's just enough for me between pumping and sending milk to daycare. 3 bottles to daycare, 3 bottles for 2 pump sessions at work, and 3 spare to get the next day ready before washing today's.

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.

Just read the other answer. We must have ordered different bottles. Ours are all tiny. We ordered 6 or 7 of these for our bags and vehicles. Very tiny.

I tried to and it really doesn't work. It's hard to get the liner over the bottle, even one with a narrow mouth. Even if I was able to do that, the bag would rip when I screwed on the nipple. These bags should only be used for storage.

I have, and it's "ok". I didn't like the weight so I now pump into the Medela bags, keep those in the fridge or freeze and then fill the bottles from the bag when needed.

It's hard to say exactly, but based on how much you are supposed to use for each fill, and the size of the bottles, I would say at least 7-8 times. I have done two refills and there is still plenty left in the bottles.

Each bag holds up to 5 Oz (6 really but don't overfill due to freezing expansion). I would think it would still hold 4 bags easily maybe even 5 or 6 bags depending on your actual bottle cooler and which bottles you would normally fit into it.

I only mix it to 5-5 1/2 gallons not the full 6 and I get 23-25 bottles. If you mixed to the full 6 gallons I would assume you'd get 27-30 bottles.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

No. That's why I use a gallon bag to store them. It's a store-brand Ziploc equivalent and holds up to 66 (three boxes worth) and takes up less space than the original box or the silly dispenser sold with some. I just checked them against a quart-size bag. You could fit maybe half a box in one, if bag size is an issue. But no, they are not individually wrapped or anything like that.

You can use these bags with any pumping system. You pump into the bottles then pour into the bags.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

I would guess around 20-30 bottles if you fill it to the max but that depends on the size of the bottles. I use it for my make-up only.

I actually cut the bottle in half and use a knife or spatula to remove the remaining liquid. This may sound crazy or odd, but there is always a bunch left in the bottle. I do this for tubes, too.

As far as I know you can not pump into them directly. I don't see how you could. The top is just two rows of ziplocks. I just pumped into the bottles that came with my pump and poured them into a bag.

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.

When you use the cooler for the bottles that comes with it, there's not a whole lot of extra room but I thought it was fine. You can fit a box of pump and save bags, pump bra, burp cloth and some pacifiers, just to give you an idea.

Only need to purchase one set (I cant remember if it came with 2 or 4 - I have 4) But they definitely came in sets. I also used with my freestyle pump. Words of wisdom, watch the holes when pouring milk out of the bags - I spilled the first bag :(
