Baby Products Reviews of Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit
Customer Review: Cumbersome and costly way to store breastmilk
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two of these sets for my dual electric Medela Pump in Style. I am using this with our second child and am really not crazy about it. I pumped for a year for our first child and used regular Playtex liners or pumped into a regular bottle. I was very happy to see that Playtex had come up with a new system. Although the system works well, it is somewhat cumbersome. Some of the pieces look pretty similar so it is easy to mix up which ones are needed. It does not fit well in my Medela case.I called Playtex and was very surprised and displeased that additional liner rings, nipple rings, and sealing disks were not available separately. If someone wants to pump and freeze breastmilk on a regular basis, it would be costly since a only four bottles can be stored with a system which costs around $10.00. I think it would be a nice system for someone just needing to have a couple of bottles available but not for a mom wanting to freeze long term or pumping several times per week.Customer Review: Avent Pump users, you can use these, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these things and couldn't do it without them! It's great to pump, freeze and feed from the same Drop-In liner! No transfering the milk!
To save money, just buy two kits so you'll have two pump adapters. When you get home at night, carefully slide the rings off the Drop-In and place the collected milk into a Playtex bottle. Screw on the nipple and cap and it's ready for the sitter the next day and you can wash and reuse the collection kits!
I just discovered that Playtex will send you an adapter which allows you to pump using your AVENT PUMP directly into a Playtex Bottle or One-Step Kit! I own a Playtex Embrace Pump, but I also have an Avent Isis manual pump. I noticed on the box of the One-Step Kits that you can get a free adapter if you call them, so I did and they mailed me one! I just wanted to let others out there who use the Playtex bottles, like I do, but also like the Avent pumps, know that they have this option!
Customer Review: awesome product
Summary: 4 Stars
when I decided to nurse my baby I knew that I was going to need to fine some thing to store my breast milk. I saw the avent storage kits but those only work for avent breast pumps and I saw the gerber zip lock bags but those just looked like a pain and then I saw the playtex and I knew thats what I wanted because I love playtex bottles I knew this had to be a great product and it is. I can just pump right in to the liners and put a ring on it and put it in the freezer and be done with it. I like the fact that its not alot of hassel because pumping takes enough time as it is let alone haveing to wash a bottle to store it. I also think that it warms up quicker under hot water then it would in a bottle. The only problem that I have come across is that the rings have been craking in the freezer other than that its perfect also it fits perfectly with my medela breast pump.Customer Review: Pump directly from Medela
Summary: 5 Stars
I was led the Playtex system because the NaturaLatch nipple on the Playtex Premium nurser is suppose to be good for breastfed babies (and it seems to be!). However transferring milk from my Medela pump bottles to the Playtex nurser was a pain. Now having used the storage system, I have to concur with the other reviews. It's awesome if you're trying to get ahead a day with fresh milk and perhaps have a few servings in the freezer. I'm spending money on the drop-in liners but I was going to spend that anyway.
Others have complained about having to buy two sets in order to get a second adapter. So, I want to point out that the Playtex Premium Nurser Newborn Gift Set includes 1 adapter and 2 each of sealing disks and nipple rings. (Amazon's "Product Features" section is incomplete so read the "Product Description" section.)
Customer Review: Convenient Pumping and Storage
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish more people knew about this storage system. It is so convenient - pump straight into the liners, twist on the caps, and store in the fridge or freezer. Once the milk has frozen, pop off the caps, pop out the liners and store them in freezer bags. When needed, just pop a liner back into a nurser and it's ready to go. The bottles heat quickly and easily in hot water. It's so easy to clean the pieces - just soak in hot soapy water for a minute and rinse. I bought 4 or 5 storage systems - I can bring 4 caps to work, send 4 bottles to daycare, and have several bottles stored in the fridge or freezer. My son, almost 5 months old, has had no problems bottle-feeding with the Playtex nursers and the NaturaLatch slow flow nipples. Highly recommend!!!
