Top 7 Breast Milk Storage

By , About.com Guide

Storing your breast milk safely is important to the health of your baby. There are many different ways you can store your breast milk, though the ease and safety of some methods are not as good as others. Here is my take on a couple of systems to store your breast milk safely after pumping.

1. Seal 'n Go Breast Milk Storage Bags

These are simply Avent four ounce bottles with nipple collars with seals. They work very well and hold up better than the average plastic bag to trauma. Though they can be costly to use if you intend to store breast milk in bulk. They can be used to pump into and feed out of with just a quick change of the top. BPA free.

I love these bags! They are double zipped for extra protection, though they do not stand up alone. The best thing? The logo that says, "My Mommy's Milk" on the bags. BPA free.
