I don't know if the family we're getting it from did it or if it's just the bags. They're Lansinoh. I have had to turn them upside down and cut corners off. Took me too long to figure that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714456 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:51:44 +0000 pl0508 714456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: ok so I'm going to work for a few hrs Tomorrow and am going to leave LO a bottle from my stash. Should I just move the bag from freezer to fridge before bed tonight ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714392 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:33:30 +0000 stlginkgo 714392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AWESOME TIP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714377 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:22:16 +0000 Smurfette 714377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! Glad you posted this, I will remember this cause I am sure I wouldn't have thought to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714371 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:17:13 +0000 dagret 714371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: glad I'm not the only one! I kept thinking "why do they make it so difficult to get the milk out!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714340 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:53:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 714340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that never occurred to me! I always pulled the top ziploc part open, but then it pours out and always overshoots the bottle and some spills on the counter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714328 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:47:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 714328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. This took me a few times to figure out too!! I usually just cut the whole bottom half off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714284 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:11:32 +0000 dagret 714284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're welcome! I started using my frozen stash for the occasional bottle we give L, rather than use fresh. He still only averages about 2 oz from a bottle when I'm around! I think he can smell me and knows he prefers straight from the tap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714280 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:08:33 +0000 pl0508 714280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha ! I can see me Doing this. I'm about to start cycling through my freezer stash so I'm glad you posted ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/revelation-about-breast-milk-bags#post-714268 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:57:01 +0000 dagret 714268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this morning I was struggling with getting thawed milk out of a breastmilk bag, and part of the bag tore off, making it difficult to separate the zipper part...and I had a "duh" moment. After weeks of struggling to open the darn things and pour out the breastmilk without spilling...I cut a corner off. DUH! So much easier. </p> <p>Kin of embarrassed it took me that long to figure that out, but thought I'd post in case anyone else didn't get it yet. Ha. </p>
