Are they worth it ??? Debating buying some
-
I hope you get an answer b I have been thinking about it too!
-
I LOOOOVED my milkie. I caught 4-5oz a day without pumping. Enough to freeze a milk ever day (or 1.5 days) and I didn't ever turn my pump on. I only used them when I nursed to catch the let down on my other side. Amazing, and I wish I would have gotten them sooner.
-
I hated it, it didn't fit against me well at all. I don't know if its my shape or what but I can't stand it and new to list it on eBay! There are some advent plastic shields on amazon that are way cheaper and comfier.
-
@scg00387: i saw the avent shields too and wondered about them
-
Absolutely worth it, especially for the first feeding of the day. I wished I would have purchased it sooner!
-
@coacheswife123: they're so much better. They are softer, more comfortable, and you can actually stand up with them on. The Milkies is harder plastic a d the size of a small paperback book so it was impossible to move without it toppling.

I can't wait to try mine out...seems huge compared to the size of my boobs though so I don't really understand how it's gonna work!
-
I just started using this. It's huge, so I wouldn't wear all day, I only use for the first feeding of the day. In glad I got it as I get almost an extra ounce everyday. But, maybe it's just me but the milk it catches seems kind of watery, so I always mix it with pumped milk.
-
I love mine! I got the avent ones too but they didn't catch as much. It seems cumbersome but it really works! I leak a ton!
-
Yep. I wished I had purchased it earlier. I stopped using it 6 months postpartum because I stopped leaking.
-
love mine!
@kml636: the milk is watery because it's only catching the foremilk and not the fatty hindmilk.
since milkies only get the foremilk, i always combine whatever it catches with other pumped milk so that baby is getting a balance of fore and hindmilk. i wouldn't recommend only combining all the milkies milk together in one bottle/bag bc then the bb will only be getting foremilk.
