Safely store breast milk until feeding time. View larger. | Complete Feeding and Storage System This kit lets you keep breast milk safely stored and ready for feeding. Four five-ounce plastic breast milk containers give you plenty of storage, and each clear plastic bottle comes with two kinds of lids. Use the two-piece plastic lid when milk will be used within a few hours, and choose the solid, air-tight plastic lid for long-term storage in the refrigerator or freezer. Each bottle also comes with an orthodontic, slow-flowing silicone nipple--ideal for use when mom is away. Sanitary and Safe Because baby's safety is so important, this kit helps ensure that the milk he or she drinks is fresh and sanitary. First, each piece is made of durable plastic that's specially designed for safe, long-term storage of breast milk. Additionally, the small plastic nipple covers fit tightly over the nipples and protect them from contamination. These caps are also great for traveling and can even be used as a cup, if need be. When it comes time to measuring exactly how much baby is consuming, the colorful, easy-to-read volume marks in ounces and milliliters allow you to keep easy track both before and after feedings.

Baby Products Reviews of Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding SetCustomer Review: Worked well for us, but change nipples for newborns Summary: 5 Stars
I used these Medela bottles for a year and they stood up well to 5 days/week of pumping/feeding/washing (my son was exclusively breastmilk-fed, but I had to go back to work full-time at 2 months). They are pricey, but overall I am glad I purchased them. I probably could have saved money buying cheaper storage containers or another bottle brand and using a conversion attachment to fit my Medela PISA pump (an Avent attachment is available through some Medela distributors or Avent), but I just bought these for convenience, and glad I did. Convenience is important to help continue pumping and breastfeeding, especially if you are returning to work full-time. We never tried any other bottle brands to compare, but we never had any real gas or spit-up issues.
My son was overwhelmed at first with the fast nipples too, so I bought some Gerber NUK orthodontic newborn slow-flow nipples from BBRUS (our pediatrician recommended orthodontic nipples, like the Medela's). When he was older (4 months or so) he used these Medela nipples, and then around 8 months the Gerber NUK fast-flow nipples (note that the hole faces up when feeding from orthodontic nipples - this took us a little while to figure out).
I never used the discs that fit inside the collar rings, because I used the coller ring, nipple, and cap for the daycare bottles and the regular solid lids for the bottles I pumped at work. I have never had a leak, although maybe if I packed the bottles with nipples upside-down this might have happened.
If you are returning to work and exclusively breastfeeding, I would recommend investing the money and getting 3 sets of these bottles: 3 or 4 to send to daycare, 4 to pump at work, and a few in the freezer (important to keep an emergency milk supply frozen, and if some are already in the bottles instead of storage containers/bags, you can just warm it and pop on a nipple in a pinch).
I also used the Medela Micro-steam bags for quick cleaning of the nipples and pump parts (the bottles and lids are faster to wash with a bottlebrush).
