Sanitary and Safe
Because baby's safety is so important, this kit helps ensure that the milk he or she drinks is fresh and sanitary. First, each piece is made of durable plastic that's specially designed for safe, long-term storage of breast milk. Additionally, the small plastic nipple covers fit tightly over the nipples and protect them from contamination.

These caps are also great for traveling and can even be used as a cup, if need be. When it comes time to measuring exactly how much baby is consuming, the colorful, easy-to-read volume marks in ounces and milliliters allow you to keep easy track both before and after feedings.

About Medela
Founded in 1961 in Zug, Switzerland by Olle Larsson, Medela is committed to supporting the WHO Code's depiction of breastfeeding and breast milk as the optimal nutrition for the growth, development and health of babies. The company believes it is their obligation to offer a complete solution, "from breast to belly," of high quality products that enable mothers to provide the optimum nutrition of breast milk to their babies. Today, Medela's primary focus remains to help moms successfully breast feed their babies as long as they wish. This goal lies at the heart of every product the company develops.

What's in the Box
Four each of 150 milliliter containers, slow-flow orthodontic nipples, collars and discs for short-term storage, solid lids for long-term storage, and caps for traveling or cup feeding.

On the negative side, the little discs that go with the nipple rings that they include to create a 'temporary' cap is pretty useless. I wish they had just provided a few more 'full' caps which provide a better seal.

Also, the nipples for all the Medela products were never a favorite with my son, though that might be a personally preference of his. I just use the Playtex or Evenflo nipples with these bottles, and they work just fine.

Last, for some reason, the other caps they provide that are supposed to fit over the nipple & nipple-ring never really fit, so it would often leak out into the diaper bag.

Bottom line: Worth it, I suppose, for the items that work, but ditch the other items as they are not very good.


Great for Feeding, Pump and Storing Breastmilk   March 1, 2002

We purchased these bottles as a way to store breastmilk so my husband could enjoy feeding our son. After I had difficulty nursing, I stopped breastfeeding when our son was 2 months old. These bottles proved more valuable than I had thought. They are great for moms who want to continue to give their babies the benefits of breastfeeding but are unable to. I love them because they were great for pumping because they fit right onto any Medela pump, then you can either use it to feed your baby by adding the nipple, or store it in the fridge or freezer. I especially liked them because it had markings in ounces to let me know how much I pumped. I never had to guess if my son was getting enough milk. The nipple appeared to give our son the same feeling as if he were breastfeeding. He had to work at sucking like he did when he was breastfeeding unlike the usual bottles where it steadily flowed into his mouth. I would recommend these bottles to anyone who is going back to work and is pumping, anyone who wants to breastfeed but can't or has difficulty or anyone who wants to store a supply of breastmilk.


Not practical for usage of bottles for feeding   February 7, 2003

This was great to pump milk right in to, using the Madela hand held pump, as attachments screw right in to the bottles. After pumping milk, they seal up very nicely, and store in the fridge airtight. However, after heating the bottles, and screwing in the nipple attachments to them, our baby didn't feed well out of them, much too fast of a flow, messy, and the latex nipples had strong latex smell, (and I imagine latex taste to baby, we prefer silicone)our baby rejected feedings from these bottles. Nipples were much too small, also, baby would put entire mouth around them, not practical for switching between bottle and breast. I ended up just using them to pump and store milk in, and would nurse baby, and then pour milk in to Playtex Nurser bottles with silicone nipples, to take with me for outside feedings.


You're going to need this set if you have a Medela pump   July 16, 2004

If you have a medela pump, you will need one or two sets of these bottles for milk storage and feeding. I originally starting pumping and storing the milk in the freezer bags (Lansinoh bags are the absolute best bags, no leaking, double zipper seals, very strong, and hold six ounces-the others only hold five)but when i discovered that I could freeze these bottles, i realized it would be much easier to pump into them and feed straight out of them. The nipples that came with the set were the weirdest ever, my baby just hated them so we don't use them at all. The caps are very handy too. The bottles will hold a full six ounces of milk, although you don't want to freeze them with that much milk, as you have to leave room in the bottle for expansion. The rings and nipples from our Gerber bottles fill just right, as would any other rings and nipples, i would imagine. They're pretty much universal in size, so if your baby doesn't like these nipples, just buy an inexpensive pack from another brand. I bought this set at Target, for about the same price as on this site, except without the shipping fee. I must say, I've been impressed with my pump in style advanced pump, and wouldn't trade it for anything else. If you're going to have the best pump, might as well have the best of bottles to go with it. These bottles are easy to clean with a bottle brush, or in the dishwasher. Make sure you have plenty, since you'll need two bottles to pump into each time. It does get tedious washing them frequently. Hope this review helps you...good luck.
