Baby Products Reviews of Medela® CSF Bags
Customer Review: not easy to use
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these to store milk before I went back to work. They work fine when I'm home with all the time in the world. I've back to work for 4 days and find these bags very time consuming...opening the bag, threading the twist tie, attaching it to the shield, pumping, deattaching it, and closing it. Pumping can take up to 25 minutes. Not something that can happen 2-3 times a day. And I'm never sure how much I've pumped. When the bag is attached to the shield it says 1 thing, but then you seal it up and it says anothers. Today, I'm going to buy bottle set. They close just as tight and are much easier to use.Customer Review: A one star review gives this product too much credit.
Summary: 1 Stars
I initially tried these bags because all my other experiences with Medela products were great. However, Medela missed the mark on this one. The twist tie bag closure design is horrible and more expensive compared to other brands.
I decided to go with the Gerber storage bags instead and I like them 100% better. I have never had a problem freezing any milk with the Gerber bags and thawing the milk is easy using the sealed pouch design, we use the coffee maker and the bags hold up well immersed in just the hot water. The Gerber bags are sold everywhere and you get more for your money per bag.
Customer Review: You will cry over spilled milk
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased these bags when I returned to work and began pumping more often. What a waste!! The twist tie design is both clumsy and ineffective. You can never tie them tight enough and spills are frequent. In additon to this, the cost is ridiculous. The Gerber bags with the zip lock design are much more economical and are leak proof. They can be found at most retail stores including Target and Walmart. These bags do not measure up to the Medela name and they should consider a new design. Returning to work and continuing to nurse your baby is hard enough without the hassle of these bags.Customer Review: Great System
Summary: 5 Stars
I like these bags quite a bit. I pump at my desk at work and pour the milk into the bags and refrigerate them. At lunchtime I go to my son's daycare to nurse and bring a couple of the bags for his afternoon feeds. I bring a bag or two home at night and then to the daycare the next day for his morning feeds. This system has worked great and has allowed me to keep him on 100% breastmilk even though I work. It's also easy to create a stockpile of bags in the freezer for when hubby or babsitter want to give him a bottle. In the 4 months I've been using them, haven't had any leak issues.Customer Review: Medela vs Gerber vs Lansinoh
Summary: 4 Stars
The Medela bags absolutely work best with the Medela pump. Also, they seal well and are easy to write on in the white space provided.Gerber bags are Zip Loc and are less expensive, but difficult to write on and you must use a rubberband or masking tape or something to hold it on the pump. I use masking tape, then label the masking tape to put it on the bag.
The Lansinoh bags cost the same as the Gerber ones and have a DOUBLE Zip Loc seal and white space for writing. I guess I like these best since I am frugal, but I just wish they'd attach to the Medela Pump Easier.
