Baby Products Reviews of Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding Set
Customer Review: Great system
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been pumping breast milk into these bottles for my son since he started "school" at 2.5 mos. I have the Medela pump in style pump. I have a few sets of these and the 2.5 ounce Medela freezer set of bottles that look like test tubes. I love that I can pump directly into the bottles and don't have to use the disposable bags. I also love that Medela is a responsible company that makes BPA-free baby products. My only wish was that they had the 6 ounce marking on them - since they do hold 6 ounces. My son loves the nipples. He's a breastfed baby, and had no problem transitioning to the orthodontic nipples at school (2 bottles in the morning) and transitioning back to the breast when he was with me the rest of the day. In fact, these nipples were the only ones that flowed at the correct rate for him). He also likes nuk pacifiers (also the orthodontic shape), so it's likely his preference - each baby is different! Overall, these are fantastic - I'm very pleased.Customer Review: Great bottle!

I am a working mom who pumps and feeds my son from the bottle. He had a problem with spitting up. We bought 2 of these when I was going back to work so that we could have bottles at home for the day and I could take some to work. The nipples turned out to be the best that we have tried yet! They take a little getting used to because the baby has to put his whole mouth on it and get his lips in the little grooves, but once they get used to it they were wonderful! The hole being on top of the nipple keeps him from gulping so much and solved his spitting up problem. I haven't had any problems with leaks or anything. I love that it came with the solid caps AND the caps with the pop out middle for the nipple AND the nipple cover. We didn't buy them online so we paid a little more than the price here. I still think they are a great value. I will buy more and this time get them for the online price!Customer Review: Awesome!

I am exclusively breastfeeding my baby and am pumping extra so her dad can give her a bottle a day. The bottle size is perfect for newborns and infants under 1 year who are eating primarily at the breast and are just being given a few ounces of supplement size breastmilk or formula. My daughter prefers the breast, but she latched onto the Medela nipples without a problem, and did not experience any nipple confusion when going for her next feeding at the breast. The Medela nipples are very closely shaped like the real thing. Also, I love how the caps can be used for cup feedings, too.
If you have a Pump In Style regular or advanced pump, you'll really like how you can pump directly into these bottles. Plus, it's good to have a few extra bottles that come with this kit, so you don't have to constantly wash the few that came with the pump and always have clean ones on hand.
Customer Review: Great set

These bottles are the only ones that my daughter will take. The day she came home we started useing the Avent system but started using these once my milk came in because we didn't have to transfer the milk into Avent bottles after being pumped. From then on it has been smooth sailing... the nipples are really soft and flexible, the hole is on the top of the nipple so she doesn't get squirted in the back of the throat and choke. I do have a few complaints though, I agree that the "sealing disk" are a silly thing, I ended up only using the whole caps. Also, the nipples only come (as far as I know) in "slow flow" and my daughter sucks so hard that the nipple will sometimes go from round to flat because she creates so much suction on it. Other than that, they are the only bottles my "bottle snob" will currently take.Customer Review: Not practical for usage of bottles for feeding
Summary: 3 Stars
This was great to pump milk right in to, using the Madela hand held pump, as attachments screw right in to the bottles. After pumping milk, they seal up very nicely, and store in the fridge airtight. However, after heating the bottles, and screwing in the nipple attachments to them, our baby didn't feed well out of them, much too fast of a flow, messy, and the latex nipples had strong latex smell, (and I imagine latex taste to baby, we prefer silicone)our baby rejected feedings from these bottles. Nipples were much too small, also, baby would put entire mouth around them, not practical for switching between bottle and breast. I ended up just using them to pump and store milk in, and would nurse baby, and then pour milk in to Playtex Nurser bottles with silicone nipples, to take with me for outside feedings.
