Expressing breast milk from work takes a lot of time and dedication, so anything that will make the process easier is appreciated by moms. Storing milk in bottles takes up valuable freezer space and means that you have to keep purchasing more and more bottles to build up your stash of food for baby. These plastic breast milk storage bags come pre-sterilized, and are easy to carry around--as they’re not much bigger than a travel pack of tissues. In fact, they come in a tissue-style dispenser, making them easy to access and store. Each bag stores up to 6 ounces, or 180 milliliters of milk, and seals tightly to preserve freshness. Bags lay flat in the freezer saving plenty of space for more milk or other foods. Milk transfers easily from bag to bottle with no spillage. A tab above the fill area lets you write the express date, volume of milk, and the name of your child (in case you are handing it off to a busy daycare provider for feedings) on the bag without worry that you may puncture and contaminate your milk with ink. For moms who have to temporarily store their milk in a busy office refrigerator, a tamper-evident safety seal on each bag informs you if someone has been in your supply. Each box includes 25 storage bags. --Cristina Vaamonde

Best Bags on the Market!
I have tried a few brands of bags but Lansinoh are definitely the BEST! I am especially fond of the double zipper feature which minimizes human error in sealing the bags. I use the Playtex drop-in bottles and these bags fit very nicely inside the bottle. I just defrost, place in the bottle, and fold the top over. The nipple screws on a bit tight but it still fits perfect. I LOVE these bags!!!

leak easily
It's happened a couple of times that these bags leaked while thawing. I am extremely careful with them as the milk is too precious to spill so it's not carelessness. Bags have even leaked just sitting in the fridge, in a plastic container. I now put every milk bag into a ziploc bag for 'safety'. I don't trust these bags anymore and will only use the first years bags, they have proven to be much sturdier so far and are more acurate in the ounces.

Good storage option
I've used them since I've gone back to work to store breast milk. They're great. I like the double zip, tissue-like dispense pack design and most importantly the tab for writing the date of expression and volume is separate (easy to read and will not bleed through). They allow me to freeze flat. The only slight disappointment is that it does not fit exactly in the freezer storage box I have (the sides are a little crunched) but I can still use them in it. I know other reviewers have lamented the accuracy of the volume; but it you stand it up on it's bottom so it can stand on its own (carefully of course, it is liquid gold!) it's pretty accurate. I would highly recommend these!
