They all say they're the only bags that don't leak on them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-1840253 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 11:25:35 +0000 leelee 1840253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: sorry to bring back such a old post but curious if you had any leaking when thawing out the target bags? Currently using lansinoh but thinking about switching to up &amp; up. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-1181007 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:06:20 +0000 Alivoo01 1181007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using Lansinoh and haven't defrosted any of my frozen stash, but I'm praying they don't leak when I do! I've freezed quite a bit so I'll be upset if they do. Maybe when I defrost them in the fridge, I'll put them in a bowl just in case... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-1180920 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:36:09 +0000 swurlygurl 1180920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Target brand ones for 5 months and LOVED them. Cheapest, and never had any problems, even though I filled them up as much as possible, probably overfilling them (10+ ounces). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-1180856 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:04:38 +0000 Smurfette 1180856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-1180851 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:59:18 +0000 delight 1180851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping cause I was looking this up.</p> <p>I've been using medela but they don't hold much and I find I can't get them to freeze flat. Plus they are sooooo expensive! I got some free samples of lansinoh with my breast pads and like them way more. I just wish I hadn't stocked up on medela. I still have 50 bags to go through.....</p> <p>Regardless, I haven't had either bags leak on me yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-646621 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:47:13 +0000 MamaCate 646621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rrachael: they recommend 4 oz each to freeze but can hold up to 5. i am now done pumping but they worked out great for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-646316 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 07:37:10 +0000 SleepyMonkey 646316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use lansinoh then switched to honeysuckle...i haven't had to defrost any frozen milk yet, so i can't speak to leaks. but i like the honeysuckle ziplock better. feels more secured. although i feel like lansinoh can fit more milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-646195 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 00:03:04 +0000 rrachael 646195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: how many ounces/ml do the bottles hold? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-388308 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:56:48 +0000 winniebee 388308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started out using Medela but they didn't hold much and I felt like I lost some of the milk to the sides of the bag when I defrosted. So, I switched to Lasinoh, which hold a lot. But then I had the leaking bag issue a few times when I defrosted - I laid flat to freeze and then stood upright I think my issue may have been overfilling the bag (I put like 10 oz in a bag). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-388304 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:50:37 +0000 Ree723 388304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I only did it because I'm a cheap arse, lol! Mayo Clinic apparently recommends not using everyday storage bags though so maybe I'm not a good example to follow here. That being said, we've been doing it for four months and LO is fine, so who knows!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-388297 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:34:19 +0000 yellowbird 388297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use lansinoh and I haven't had any leaks yet, but I would be upset if I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-388284 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:19:22 +0000 betsyboop 388284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: that is such a great idea!

An ice cube tray to get it to frozen state and then they get thrown in a gallon size ziploc bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-388077 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:01:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 388077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: It's one of the baby products I put on my Ultimate Baby Registry post!!

You can buy on amazon. I have had 2 leaks in 1 year. They are also bio degradable which is a plus. I froze flat and store standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387699 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:21:11 +0000 Weagle 387699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Lansinoh. We have had a few leaks, but I think that there will be a few leaks no matter which brand you use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387637 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:05:36 +0000 autumnlove 387637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used them all! Ameda and Lansinoh are my favorites! I had a few leaks with Lansinohs when they didn't freeze flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387633 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:04:56 +0000 PinkElephant 387633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the Lansinoh bags and haven't had a leak. I freeze mine flat in a tupperware container before stacking them upright, so maybe that helps? There are fewer sharp corners to bump on things/tear the bags because the bag isn't stretched into a weird shape.</p> <p>I've also used a Korean brand called JACO (not sure how widely available these are). They were a little small compared to Lansinoh, but are made of a thicker, more brittle material that you might prefer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387598 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:57:51 +0000 MamaCate 387598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the mothers milk mate reusable bottles! They seemed like a better option than bags and 11 months in they have been great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387569 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:53:09 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 387569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the Target Up &amp; Up...hopefully they don't suck! My sister said she read a post on another site about them leaking, but I have to freeze all of my milk and I want to find a cheap (ish) option.</p> <p>I've also seen Honeysuckle on Amazon...they sell a 300 pack or something like that. Has anyone tried theM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387358 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:19:19 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 387358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Lansinoh too. It was the best of the kinds we tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387336 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:16:36 +0000 mrsjazz 387336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Lansinoh and haven't had that problem and I cycle through my frozen every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-breast-milk-storage-bags-do-you-use#post-387329 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:15:48 +0000 chopsuey 387329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Lansinoh!
