Review of Playtex Nursing Necessities One Step Breast Milk Storage Kit

I have a medela pump in style and also an ameda purely yours, these work with both pumps.

My little man is getting breastmilk only.He has not had any formula or supplement and I have been back at work for a month.I will not lie, pumping enough for his daycare feedings for an 8 hour day is a lot of work.I have to pump 16 oz per day for the four bottles he will need the next day.In the evenings when I get home I don't want to spend all my time cleaning bottles.

My son took to the playtex nursers right away and I have never had any trouble with nipple confusion.He switches easily from bottles to breast.The nursers are great because I don't have to wash the four bottles he used at daycare; just the nipples, rings, and caps.I wash the bottles every three days in the dishwasher instead but they never look like they need it.What I didn't like about the nursers was that they weren't compatible with my pump so I would pump into other bottles then pour that milk into the nursers in the evenings when I got home.Then I would have to clean 4 bottles and caps in addition to the items from daycare that needed to be washed.It seemed like a waste of time.

I like this system since you can pump right into the drop-ins liners.This saves me extra bottle clean up each evening when I get home.You can use the system in two different ways as well.You can put a liner into the ring, pump, and cap just as shown for this product; then store the whole thing on the cap in the fridge.I prefer to put a liner into the nurser bottle then pump right into that.I then cap the bottle and store it upright in the fridge or my transport cold pack.When I get home I just switch the cap for a nipple and cap and I'm ready for the next day.At the end of the day I only have to was the caps!Much quicker and with a baby, time is always precious.

As other reviewers have stated, this system is ideal for pumping for the next day.It is not as ideal for freezing or longer term storage since these take up a bit of space in the freezer (I prefer freezer bags that freeze flat).You will want two kits if you use a double pump and in that way you will get two adapters and 12 rings/caps so you are good to go.
