Baby Products Reviews of Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding Set
Customer Review: Good bottles, terrible nipples
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased these botttles due to them being BPA free and I am using a Medela pump. I agree with other reviewers that they are nice to pump into for storage and I feel comfortable warming them (vs. a polycarbonate bottle with BPA) - but the nipple that comes in this set is TERRIBLE. It flows much too fast and my 1 month old has choked each time I try to use the nipple. I am going to try using a different brand nipple with the bottle. Overall, they are less expensive than other BPA free bottles and the 5 ounce size is convenient for newborns/young infants. I have also used the Medela 2.7 ounce pump and store bottles (with the white lids) and find these are a very convenient size for freezing.Customer Review: Why make things more complicated?
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this set, because it saved me research time. I just had my first child and I had no idea about what products to by, what types of nipples to use, etc. My baby loves the nipples that come with this set and he has no problem switching between the breast and the bottle. The set is easy to use and I have never had any leakage problems with it. When I am at work, I pump (medela travel-in-style) right into the bottle and then just screw the nipples and caps on and bring it right over to day care in the evenings and I place in the refrigerator for the next day! If you plan to be a working mom and want to breast feed your child - this will help you make it as easy as possible.Customer Review: Good for storage, not for feeding a breastfed baby
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good set to buy if you have a Medela breastpump and need some extra bottles to pump into. However I am perplexed at why they call this a 'breastmilk feeding system', when the bottles/nipples do not seem to be designed at all with a breastfeeding infant in mind. The nipples are the orthodontic shape - no woman has nipples shaped like that! There also is no design to the bottles to control the amount of air, and no nipple features to make the milk flow more slowly. The milk comes out very quickly and my baby would always cough and choke. We use these bottles for pumping and storage only; bottles like Dr. Brown's are much better for feeding.Customer Review: The Best Nipple for Breasfeeding
Summary: 5 Stars
My son had a very difficult time with a bottle. On the day I went back to work I called the nurse at my doctor's office and she suggested trying these ones. I had the set and thought the nipple flow was too fast so I did not try it. I called my father in law who was at my house with my mother in law. He pulled the nipple out of the drawer, sterilized and my son immediately took to it. We tried every other nipple for three weeks and he could not latch on to it properly. He latches on to this similar to how he latches on to the breast, they work like a charm. The bottles are also a great size. I will recommend these to everyone who breastfeeds.Customer Review: Definitely recommend this
Summary: 5 Stars
We use this storage and feeding set every day. We bought other feeding bottles, but having the breastmilk in these bottles for sure creates convenience with great speed. We use these to store the milk in the freezer and/or fridge, and then whenever baby is hungry daddy or/and sitter simply attaches the nipple and cap, places bottle in bottle-warmer and - voila - it's all ready in a matter of a few mins. No fuss transferring milk from freezer bags into bottles. Also, because nipple is on the bottle when bottle placed in the warmer, the nipple gets all warm and supple, which our baby prefers (rather than having a cold/harder nipple).
