I am a nursing, working mom and I have found that these little containers are a lifesaver! They attatch to the bottom of the Isis pump (also by Avent) for no hassle pumping. Then the top goes on tight, so you don't have to worry about leakage or spillage (if you were to pour into another container).

Much easier to deal with than bags that flop over in the freezer and get into wierd shapes. These Avent Breast Milk containers can stack very easily so they don't take over your freezer. I recomend putting a sticky label (I use address labels cut in half) with the date and time expressed on top of the rubber sealing disc, as this is the easiest place to totally remove the adhesive gum.

The baby sitter just has to screw on a new Avent cap with nipple attatched (or pop the sealing disc out and put a nipple in). If you later decide to make your own organic baby food in your blender or food processor, these containers can also be used to store & freeze your baby's first foods!

If you are using Avent bottles, these storage containers are a must. Very convenient and versatile (use as bottles, sippy cups, storing breastmilk, babyfood), easy to clean. Nice size to take to work or anywhere. You can use these with the Medela Pump in Style breast pump, but you need to buy an adaptor from Avent.

These containers are tops! You can pump right into them, with the Avent Isis Pump, which is great, or with most other pumps (with the converter piece). Then just stick the container in the freezer. Exchange the sealing disc for a nipple and, presto, it's a bottle. Add a handle and a spout instead of the nipple - it's a sippy cup. And it is safe to use in the microwave. And it does not leak, even when it's not upright! And, thanks to the wide mouth, it's easy to clean. The small size makes it easy to store, minimizes waste (very important when using breastmilk) and - for those who care - these containers are actually aesthetically pleasing. I am very happy that I chose Avent bottles - they are well worth the extra money, as after six months of use they still look brand-new. And if you ever need it, Avent customer service is even better!

I used to use the disposable bags to store breastmilk in the freezer even though we used regular Avent bottles. When I found out these could be used in the freezer I switched and I LOVE IT! They CAN be used with the MEDELA PUMPS. There is a converter cap you can buy seperately to pump DIRECTLY into these bottles from most pumps! I would highly recommend trying this product.

These are great! Just pump the milk in to these and freeze for Daddy to feed the baby. I can finally sleep in on his days off now because I have these to store all that milk. I just wished that I bought more of these. They are easy to clean because of the wipe opening. Small, light weight and easy to travel with. This is a must have for all mom's.

I bought these containers/bottles before I had my dd 11/06/99 and they have been through the microwave, freezer, dishwasher and have been sterilized by boiling. They have been used as milk containers, bottles and food containers.
We currently use them with the avent sippy cup teats and they are leak proof.
We will be having another baby shortly and I think they will probably outlast the the next baby too...
Probably one of the best investments I have made baby wise.

These breastfeeding containers have made my life convenient! I no longer have to worry about saving breastmilk and having it spill. The containers are small enough to fit in the fridge, and they are perfect for sticking into your purse (or briefcase). No matter where I go, these containers can go too. I highly recommend these containers because when you add a nipple, you've got a 4 ounce bottle for baby! They are perfect for all breastfeeding moms and dads.

I love these breastmilk storage containers. They make it so easy to collect the milk, cap it, and store it. When I need the milk, I just take them out of the freezer, heat it in the bottle heater, put on a nipple and go. They are great. Perfect size for my baby who still only drinks about 3-4 ounces per sitting. I will definitely continue to use these after she outgrows them for milk as baby food containers. They are great.

I received several types of bottles at showers before my daughter was born, but the Avent line has been the most convenient and useful overall after 11 months. Their wide mouth openings make it easy to pour expressed milk with no spills and to add powdered formula without getting it all over the counter. The volume markings are easy to read, and the bottles hold up well in the dishwasher. I used mine both for expressed milk (with the Isis pump, which is a convenient manual pump for occasional use) and later for formula bottles. The best part is that as your child grows, you can purchase the no-spill sippy-cup spouts and have a whole set of cups without having to buy all new ones. That helps to keep down clutter in the kitchen! My only dissapointment with these is that they are not compatible with the Medela breast-pumps (which I used for a time), so I ended up having to transfer expressed milk. Overall, they are great!

My son Jordan is 9 months old and I still use these storage bottles, but not just for breastmilk. My sister bought me The well fed baby cookbook. I love it because it's so easy to make various meals. I make double batches, store the food in these bottles and stick them in the freezer. They are perfect for that b/c you don't waste the food you make. I have also used tupperware, but b/c they are more than 4 ozs, some of the food goes bad if he doesn't eat it w/in 3 days. I love the avent products! Hope that helps :)
