Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Via Breast Milk Storage
Customer Review: Great for freezer storage
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have used breast milk storage bags in the past, you will immediately fall in love with the Via containers. They are sturdy and withstand freezing and thawing. With bags, there is the problem of how to store them in the freezer to protect from abrasions,rips, cracks or holes which render your precious milk useless. Pumping takes time and energy. The Via system is not perfect, but you can pump directly into the storage containers, they stack well, and they provide a durable plastic shield. It is true that the the screw on lid design has its flaws, although I haven't had any leaking problems. I say start with a smaller package and then make you storage decision.Customer Review: Be more careful
Summary: 4 Stars
I use the Avent storage containers and I used to have problems with leaking. Two tips and you won't have that problem.
1) DO NOT OVERFILL THE CONTAINER. The tick marks go up to 7 ounces, but don't put any more than 6 in there (which is what they are advertised to hold). Any more than that and the milk gets into the seal.
2) Don't squeeze the container as you screw on the lid. The best way to attach the lid is to put the container on your counter and then screw the lid. Don't hold the container or squeeze it at all - if you do, it misaligns the top.
My only complaint is that they are expensive and I'm storing a lot, so I need them in bulk.
Customer Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used the Avent Isis pump for all three of my children and thought this product would be just as good and liked the fact that it works with the pump. I was wrong. Problems encountered include, it is very difficult to screw the caps on tight - they tend to leak, expensive - instructions recommend only using about 4 times and then discarding, measurements are hard to read, they do not hold a full 8 ozs, due to the shape narrow on the bottom and wide on the top they tend to tip over easily, and the adaptor for the pump is incovenient as I forgot to pack it more than once! Save your money use bags or pump into the bottles directly if you are not freezing.Customer Review: Great and easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I have loved having these containers to freeze breastmillk in. They are easy to use. I pump a little bit at each feeding and fill up containers all day in the fridge and then at night-time, I transfer the containers from the fridge to the freezer. Also, I haven't found any leaking or problems putting the lids on properly. Just be patient and learn how to do it right the first time, and no more problems to speak of arise. My one complaint is that you can get extra containers (they are all pre-sterilized) but you can't buy just extra LIDS which I would really love. So thats my one complaint. Otherwise, I am loving these containers!Customer Review: Can't get the lids off!
Summary: 3 Stars
In general, I like this system and have used it pretty extensively for storing breastmilk. The containers fit very well in my freezer. However, both my husband and my babysitter constantly complain about struggling to get the lids off the containers. Although I don't need to open them often myself, I have had a few problems with them. Sometimes, I end up spilling the contents of the container because I'm squeezing it so tightly when trying to turn the lid. My husband, when dealing with a fussy, hungry baby, sometimes punches holes in the lids with a knife to get the breastmilk out quickly (I'm really not happy about that).
