Philips Avent Via Breast Milk Storage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use the Avent bottles and a Medela pump.With my first child I purchased several 4 oz and 9oz Avent bottles and sealing discs once I realized just how much I was spending in milk storage bags. It was considerably cheaper to invest in the bottles.
With the second child, now 4 months old, I had more milk to freeze than bottles. So instead of buying more bottles, I tried these.I will use them for the 3 allowed times, then I am going back to buying regular bottles as needed.
Downfalls:
-Hard to know if they are sealed, but not had issues with spilled milk since I only transport the milk when frozen.
-Can only be used 3 times; if you have lots of bottles, it's hard to keep track of this.
-Lids are not sold separately - I have already cracked one.
-You still need a collar for the adapter to work as a bottle; the kit doesn't come with collars. You can't buy the collars separately.
-Measurements on the side are very faint and hard to read.
-If you fill them to the 6oz/8oz mark, there is not much room for expansion when the milk freezes. I only fill to 5oz or 7oz respectively for fear of explosion in my freezer.
-The regular 9oz bottles actually use less room for me in the freezer.I have found that a regular soda can rack works well in the freezer with the 9oz bottles.(freeze them upright first and then store them sideways in the rack - easy to keep track of which milk is the oldest)
The only plus I have found to this, is that with the Medela/Avent converter, I will be able to pump into a sterile disposable bottle while traveling with my infant. Then I can feed her the bottle while in her car seat, eliminating long stops to feed. I have done this with the regular bottles, but then had to deal with storing empty bottles while traveling.
