Mothers Milk Freezer Bags Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are a reasonable choice for milk storage. The plastic is very sturdy, so unlike some bags (Lansinoh in particular), you don't have to be hyper sensitive to the risk of the bags banging around your freezer and developing small tears in the plastic that cause leaking when thawed. Never had any problem with leaking, even though you seal by rolling the bag closed around a twist tie.
The tool to remove air from the bag is a real pain. It is awkward, and you can easily lose milk by squeezing it out the top. I had several occasions where, while struggling with the tool, I dropped the bag and lost a lot of milk. A ziplock would be a more reasonable sealing choice. You can make this system work, but do not try it if you are groggy or rushed.
Also, the primary reason I got these was because they could twist tie onto the pump horns and I wouldn't need to pump into bottles and then transfer into storage bags. But the ounce markings on the side of these bags are not reliable. Depending on how "tall" you stand the bag, you'll get different readings entirely. Most of the bags that I had read to the 5 ounce line, but only had 3 ounces inside. If you're pumping directly into the bags, you'll have no good idea how much you've pumped, so I would not plan to buy these based on the ability to pump directly into them.
Even if you know how much you've transferred from another contained into this bag, there's nowhere on the bag to write the number of ounces. Instead of writing the date and time the milk was pumped, I'd write the date and the number of ounces.
Additionally, these bags have no pour spot. They come together with two "tails" where the bag splits at the sides and narrows in at the top. The plastic is very thin and does not hold up under the weight of milk. So when you attempt to pour thawed milk, sometimes the plastic will collapse under the weight of the milk and spill all over your counter.
If you plan to pump into bottles and then transfer to these bags, and are careful in sealing and mark the number of ounces on the bag, they're not a bad choice. They are more durable and less likely to leak than some other options available. But ultimately for the price of these, I don't know if it's worth it to you. I'd rather take an easier-to-use bag that might leak, and just thaw the milk in a container to catch any leaks. If you consistently thaw by running under water, though, this may work better for you.
