Good enough (2010-09-07)
These bottles and storage system are useful and fulfill the purpose of keeping everything straight and organized. However, 4 oz in these bottles is not the same as 4 oz. in my Dr. Brown bottles or even in my Ameda pumping bottles. I don't know if the marks on the bottles are just estimated numbers or what, but it gets frustrating when I think I have enough milk in the mother's milkmate bottle to make full eating bottle for my baby and then have to go and use some of the freshly pumped milk. FYI - they do fit perfectly on my Ameda Purely Yours pump.
Use it everyday (2010-06-02)
I work full-time and pump for about 1 year with my kids (on number 3 now).
This helps a busy household because everyone can tell which milk to use next for baby. I stopped labeling dates and times on the milk because of this system. I like that it is BPA free. The little round thing you put in the bottle before you put the lid on is difficult to fit in at times, but I think it prevents spills when the milk lays sideways in the rack.
Good for keeping things organized (2010-04-25)
Once you start pumping milk and storing it, you quickly realize bottles and bags take over your freezer.
This little rack is very handy for keeping the 'next to use' bottles ready for dispensing, which is great. However, you're limited to bottles for it's organizational benefits.
I ordered extra bottle to be on the safe side, but I ran out and started using bags, which are now in the middle of the 'first in first out' rotation, so I have bottles simply standing about in the freezer.
The bottles fit perfectly with my Medela Pump-in-Style pump parts.
Cons:
~If the back of the rack isn't against a flat surface, it's not too difficult for a bottle to roll off in the back when you're trying to shift things around.
~If you mistakenly remove the front bottle and then decide you don't want to defrost, forget about easily putting it back. I had a fiasco which resulted in a cracked bottle of frozen milk.
Overall, decent product for storage purposes, but probably better used for organizing refrigerated-only milk. Bottles are great for warming up, though.
Great idea (2010-02-14)
This is an excellent idea for pumping moms. It takes up very little space in your fridge or freezer. The bottles hooked right onto my pump.
Clever Idea (2009-12-18)
I was so sick of trying to keep track of which breast milk bottle was the oldest when trying to feed our son. When I went back to work, this product helped me keep tract of which milk was the oldest and needed to be used first without having to write a date on every single bottle. Plus with the storage rack it fit very nicely in our fridge without taking up a ton of space. The bottles have never leaked, which I was skeptical considering they lay on their side. I loved on it attached perfectly to my Medela Breast Pump. I have recommended this product to all of my breastfeeding friends.
