I don't think drop-in bags are meant to be frozen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157895 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:12:30 +0000 pastemoo 157895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Cool. thanks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157884 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:06:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 157884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped into medela bottles, which I then poured into drop-ins when it was time to feed. I also used them to measure into freezer storage bags. For me it was just easier and less messy to pump directly into bottles and then use the bottles to measure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157741 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:44:04 +0000 pastemoo 157741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: FANTASTIC! Thanks! I got the newborn kit that has 4 bottles and says it can attach to many kinds of pumps, but I just coudln't figure out how it worked.<br /> @His Barista: Cool.</p> <p>I don't have a pump yet, so I figure I can get one that;s compatible.</p> <p>@Mrsbells: My friend said that, too, but she was more interested in the cleaning aspect and said it was worth it just for that. I guess I'll see in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157673 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:09:54 +0000 Mrsbells 157673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The irritating thing about the drop ins, is its hard to tell exactly how much milk is in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157671 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:07:51 +0000 His Barista 157671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone got me the system but it was not compatible with my pump. I was bummed, but I just store my milk in the lansinoh bags and pour into the drop in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157668 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:06:14 +0000 SAHM0811 157668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I had no clue either and wish I knew for my first baby! It's nice not to have to pour the milk. Of course, I didn't pump much for second baby because nursing was just more efficient, but the kit worked out great for the few months I used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157663 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:02:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: I HAD NO CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the link. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157659 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:01:18 +0000 SAHM0811 157659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: @blushink: There's a kit that allows you to pump directly into the drop-ins... I used it for a while with my second baby...They are compatible with most pumps. I used it with my Medela Freestyle no problem!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Drop-Ins-System-Breast-Storage/dp/B0011UH78G" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Drop-Ins-System-Breast-Storage/dp/B0011UH78G</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157621 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:34:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure they work for pumping.<br /> I purchased Nuk ziploc bags and would dump the milk in there.<br /> Once I would unfreeze the milk, I'd put it in a drop in and heat up the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playtex-dropins-anyone-pump-into-drop-ins#post-157612 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:26:02 +0000 pastemoo 157612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do any of you ladies pump into playtex drop-ins?</p> <p>How do you store them in the fridge/freezer? Do you have to store them in bottles, or is there some system to seal them/hold them up in the fridge or freezer just as those bags with some kind of lid?</p> <p>The drop ins seem so convenient, but I can't figure out if they work with pumping... </p>
