Baby Products Reviews of Medela Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags
Customer Review: Very easy but...
Summary: 5 Stars
These bags are great to quickly clean breast pump parts... but after having problems with one of my pump membranes (which has been from the beginning so I think it's a manufacturing issue) and breast shields that warped (which I swear happened the ONE time I put them in the dishwasher) I called Medela customer service and they told me not to use the bags every time to clean pump parts because that would add to the wear and tear of them, and to just wash parts in warm soapy water. So now I'm left wondering when to use these great bags... maybe once a week? Not sure...
I've also put bottle nipples in but find you really have to use a nipple brush on them first or else you just get caked on milk... and if I'm going to go to that trouble, I might as well just wash everything by hand.
Customer Review: SO convenient!

These bags are GREAT! My son had an extended NICU stay so I pump exclusively and have to be very careful with hygiene. With these I can quickly and easily sterilize my pump attachments, his bottles, his pacifiers or even a couple of his toys. All I do is add some water, microwave, drain and done. No boiling water, no timing, no accidentally melting things on the bottom of the pot, no hassle with complicated electronic sterilzers, and almost no storage space! Each bag is good for around 20 uses then you toss it out and get a new one, so a package of them lasts quite a while. Very handy when traveling too, since many hotels and gas stations have microwaves so you can sterilize what you need to on the go without trying to haul a bunch of junk around with you.Customer Review: Quick, easy way to sterilize!

I am an exclusive pumper, so every day I pump 6x (and clean the parts every time) and also have to sterilize bottles. It was getting to be a hassle setting up a pot of boiling water every time I wanted to clean pump parts and bottle nipples!! I saw these in the stores and was a little skeptical (also thought they seemed a little pricey) but decided to give them a shot. And I was so happy I did! A little water, two minutes in the microwave, and I have sparkling clean pump parts and bottles. A set of five bags gives you 100 times in the microwave. My son is three months old and I am still on the first set of bags that I bought! Looking back, I feel like I definitely got my money's worth. I would recommend this product for sure.Customer Review: Love them
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found out I had thrush, I was advised to sterilize my pump parts once per day. I can't even imagine having to boil everything on the stove - my kitchen would constantly have clutter everywhere. The steam bags are great, very convenient, no cleanup.
A nice feature is the 20 checkboxes on the back of the bag so that you can keep track of the number of times you've used the bag. That way you actually get 20 uses instead of throwing the bag out early "just in case."
If you pay $6 for a box of 5 bags, that gets you 100 uses, and it works out to 6 cents per use. What a no brainer, it is definitely worth 6 cents to me each time I don't have to drag out a pot and boil everything on the stove.
Customer Review: Simplifies cleaning!! Worth the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I pump in addition to breastfeeding to store milk. We used to just use our dishwasher to sanitize all the pumping parts. Sometimes though I didn't want to run the dishwasher because it wasn't full and I would end up handwashing the pump parts.
While you should still wash you pump parts with warm soap and water, this product makes it very easy to sterilize them. 3 minutes in the microwave and voila!
You can use every bag 20 times and there are little boxes on the back that you can mark each time you use them so you don't forget. I was worried about that when I bought the product. Imagine me, a sleep-deprived mother, forgetting something??
Cheap and easy to use- I love it!
