Make sure the Gerber bag can go into the freezer because I know some makes can't (unless you are not going to freeze it). Read the description on the box before you buy them.
hart,
Thanks for your reminder. Actually, I seldon freeze the milk in the milk bag as I've bought 2 more milk bottles. I use Medela mini electric pump and Avent manual pump at the same time. After each pumping, I will pour the milk from the milk bag to the bottle so that I can take back home more easily.
FlorashleyTim,
Why do you pump the milk into milk bag first? Why not directly pump the milk into milk bottle? Is it because you do not have AVENT milk bottle?
If it is so, I suggest you buy one AVENT milk bottle ($3x for 1 9oz bottle). Since the milk bottle can be re-used, it is more economical.
Monkichi,
I am using the Avent ISIS system. Only have disposable milk bags and 免洗奶瓶. I knw that Avent has produced some cups which can be used for a few times. So, is the type of bottle you mention still on the market?
monkichi,
Thanks for your info. You're so thoughtful! I'm afraid that my boy will not be accustomed to the teat of Avent brand as he is now using pigeon bottles.
Florashley,
U can still use pigeon bottles and teat to feed your baby as what I did. However, you can save money by buying an Avent milk bottle and connect it with Avent Pump. After pumping, u can pour the milk to Pigeon milk bottle.
agree. This is exactly what I did with my baby before. We used pigeon bottle but Avent pump and so I pumped directly into an Avent bottle and transfer it into a pigeon bottle (to be used the next day) or pumped into a disposable bag (to save storage space) and keep it in the freezer.
Milk bag can be quite expensive, unless you feed your baby using Avent disposable bottle and bag. It's much cheaper to buy an Avent bottle for pumping because you can re-use it.
FlorashleyTim,
I also use Gerber milk bag. I pump milk with Avent ISIS into a 9 oz bottle then pour the milk into the bag and keep in the company's fridge (I put the bag in a non-transparent box so that no one can see).
Gerber from Nursing Asso sell at $40 with 25 pieces. I dont trust the old avent bag as it leaked, so I m loyal to the gerber bag and i keep them in the freezer too.
