Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Via Breast Milk Storage
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I made the mistake of purchasing several of the Via containers. My intention was to use them for freezing breastmilk rather than dealing with the slippery bags. They stack nicely, but that's where the pros end. They leaked constantly in my diaper bag, no matter how many times I tried re-screwing the lids. Using the adapter to insert an Avent nipple also resulted in a leaking mess. But, most importantly, after more than a few weeks in the freezer, the fat in the breastmilk in the containers began to break down faster into the "soapy smelling" lipids. This is common occurence in frozen breastmilk, but the smell and taste (yes, I tasted it to make sure it wasn't soured) was much worse than breastmilk that had been frozen the same duration in a Gerber SealnGo bag. Bottom line: Bags are easier; they are pre-sterilized and result in less surface area for air to get trapped in to cause milk fat breakdown. I love all of the other Avent products though( bottles, nipples, training cups/spouts).Customer Review: OK I Guess

I bought these when my lactation nursae told me I was outproducing my son, and it would be easier when I go back to work. I have a Medela pump I use at home and the Isis that I use at work. Both of which I love, and I use all of the Avent bottles. But I had to buy 3 sets of these just for the lids. It was a complete waste of money. Others have told me that the bags are much worse. I wish that they made replacement sets with the lids. My husband and I also have trouble with the way the lids set on the containers. I can not tell you how many times I wound up wearing 3 ounces of the 8 ounce container. That is when I can get the lid off, most times it takes Hercules to get these things off. I will probably not buy them again. I have tried the sealing disks and think that these are much better. I think I am going to stick with them.Customer Review: Great product

I was looking for an inexpensive non-disposable storage containers because the bags were emptying my wallet very quickly. I use 3 of the storage containers daily and I absolutely love this product. They hold 6 oz instead of the 4 I continually finding, they do not contain BPA, and they do not leak if accidentally tipped over. I don't have use for the top that holds a nipple as I do not use avent bottles, so I can't comment on those. I do not know if this product is freezer friendly but I already have enough milk frozen that I don't need to do this.
When I recieved the product the instructions say not to re-use more than 3 times. I may not have purchased had I known this but I have used them for 2 months now and haven't had any problems. I will recycle them when I am no longer pumping. I would use again for any future children.
Customer Review: HUGE waste of money!!

I bought 2 packages of these before traveling from MI to NC for a family trip. I wanted to continue pumping for my twins and they seemed like a great idea since they stack nicely. On the way down I lost 3 pumpings worth of milk because the mini padded cooler they were in tilted to its side and all of the milk spilled (like loosing gold!)...
Thinking MAYBE I didn't tighten the lids enough, I really cranked the next ones on...had to call 3 people before anybody could open them. That was no treat since I had 2 screaming babies waiting for bottles.
These containers really are constructed poorly...they are sooo easy to cross thread and at least two of them leaked no matter what when I tipped them to the side...what kind of breast milk container leaks?? I strongly recommend purchasing something else!
Customer Review: A great storage system for all kinds of things

I was a little skeptical when I first bought these Advent storage containers. That lasted a day. I found that not only did it freeze milk and other items, store liquids and solids, and had a handy adapter to become a bottle, but it didnt leak! My husband even found that he really liked the storage containers. Especially when it came to putting it with a nipple/adapter. If it makes his life easier, it makes mine. Now that my child is older it makes great storage containers for snack items that I toss and go. We also use them for the baby food we make, whether we freeze it or just put it in the fridge. We have worn out our old containers after a year of heavy use and are looking forward to purchasing more as our new child arrives soon.
