Any breastfeeding mother knows the value of pumped breastmilk. It’s like liquid gold. Every precaution necessary is taken to make sure it doesn’t go to waste. The Medela Breastmilk Labeling & Storage System provides a simple way to organize and store milk to ensure less waste. The kit includes:
- 1 tray with clearly marked “in” and “out” arrows
- 2 twist & lock labeling lids that mark day of the week and a.m., p.m., or midday.
- 2 5 oz BPA free polypropylene breastmilk bottles
The tray easily fits in the refrigerator or freezer and holds up to six bottles. It is also compatible with Pump & Save breastmilk bags. It’s unique “U” shape keeps milk organized so that you always know which bottle or bag should be used first. This method helps prevent milk from not being used before it’s expiration date.
Make sure every precious drop of milk is used with a Medela Breastmilk Storage & Labeling System. It retails for around $17.
I am currently breastfeeding my third child. Since I am a stay at home mom I don’t have the need to pump much. I use a manual pump and only keep enough pumped milk on hand to last a day or so in the event that I must be away from my baby. With my first child, I found that I preferred breastmilk bags for storing breast milk. They take up less space and can be heated much quicker that milk frozen in a bottle. The labeling lids that come with this system are a great idea for those who use bottles for storage. I love the tray though. So simple, yet brilliant! I can just stick a new bag in the “in” side and still have the next bag to be used right up front in the “out” side. Since I don’t feed my baby from a bottle myself, I love that whoever is feeding her will easily be able to find the correct milk bag to be used.
