My hard work is going (lliterally) down the drain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-202082 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:25:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 202082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: That's a good point, but we didn't sterilize our bottles with every wash (we'd wash with dishwashing liquid between each use, but only sterilize about once every two weeks or so) so we weren't concerned about the insides of the bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-201903 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:44:42 +0000 irene 201903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out from our nanny that it had happened to her 3 times that the bags leaked.... 2 from medela and 1 from lansinoh. ouch :...( 15 oz of milk wasted...</p> <p>I suspect there will be more torn blocks because those milk bags always fall out on me when I open the freezer door (I have plenty saved I barely have a freezer now because they took up 70% of space)</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I thought about thawing the bag inside a zip lock bag too, but wouldn't the milk get contaminated anyway because the zip lock bags are not sterilized ? Or do you think it doesn't matter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194621 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 22:47:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 194621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I had one once which is why I always thaw the frozen bags inside a larger ziplock bag!! Used Lansinoh bags exclusively as well. I don't think I ever got another leak but I still used the ziploc bags religiously. Drop frozen bag into ziploc, run hot tap water over the whole thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194590 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:31:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 194590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had a Lanisoh leak, but friends whose baby I was pumping for bought me some bags that leaked all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194557 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:53:57 +0000 Mrs. Bee 194557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: you know i wasn't that sad. i've actually been building a decent stockpile lately. i'd love to continue to give her breastmilk after i wean. i would even continue pumping for a long time after weaning!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: i think it might have been a defective bag? i've frozen tons and tons of milk because i pumped exclusively pretty much for charlie and have never had a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194554 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:52:29 +0000 mrstilly 194554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I froze dozens of bags of milk in lansinoh bags without a problem. I also usually froze 8 ounces in each bag too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194538 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:35:32 +0000 sulli301 194538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had very many bags that get holes, but a couple &amp; it stinks! I love my lansinoh bags though, I've tried several other brands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194384 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:36:40 +0000 chopsuey 194384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird. Do you think it got punctured in the freezer? Or that it was a defective bag?<br /> I never had a prob with my Lansinoh bags.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194381 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:32:04 +0000 littleveesmommy 194381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bag leak as I was running it under warm water at the sink! I had just started and noticed the water wasn't running clear. Caught it fairly quickly but lost about 1 oz. =\ I saved it by sticking the bag inside a ziploc to finish defrosting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194360 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:14:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 194360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: haha good idea!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: So sad :( I once had to throw out milk cause I left it in the fridge for three days :( never had a bag leak... Eek now I'm worried lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194349 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:52:10 +0000 lemondrop 194349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have once before- but the frozen bag fell out of the freezer onto my foot. </p> <p>Now I defrost them in a little bowl in the fridge just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-was-a-hole-in-my-lansinoh-bag-of-milk#post-194297 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:43:46 +0000 Rubies 194297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you feel so sok-sang-hae??
