Customer Review: Great, only wish the bottles were made of same material as medela bottles
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used these bottles for about a year, and am getting ready to wean. I used them for the first 5 months for storing frozen milk (I wasnt rotating them), then when I went back to work, I rotated in the frozen milk and started using the bottles with the rack to store milk in the fridge. Like most others have said, this is certainly more cost effective than bags. My daughter wasnt ever a big drinker, so I would use from 2 to 3 and a half a day, so stored about 3 or 4 days of pumped milk (with BF for the morning, noon and night feedings [daycare was next to work]).
This also worked with my medela PIS advanced pump without any problems. I didnt find cleaning the separate caps an issue, though Im not sure why they designed them this way to begin with.
The one thing they could improve on would be to make it from the same material as the medela bottles. I think they are both polypropelene, but for some reason, the fat on the medela would come off a lot easier than on these bottles. Maybe because these have some texture to them? Anyway, the reason why this is a shortcoming is that, because these are stored horizontally, there's a much larger surface area on the top of the milk than if they were stored vertically (which wouldnt work in the rack system, of course). Because all the good fat rises to the top, then it takes a while of sitting on the counter and swirlling the milk to get this fat to off the sides. It can take something like 20 minutes or so to get all the fat off the sides, versus with medela bottles where it may only take a couple minutes.
I would definitely buy this, but recommend to the product managers to make this out of the other material.
