Cost-effective way to freeze breastmilk?
I see the Medela pump & save bags but yikes...expensive. Is there a more cost-effective option? Another brand out there you use?
TIA!

Re: Cost-effective way to freeze breastmilk?
The Lanshinoh bags are much cheaper. I hear that you can use the playtex bags for storage and then pop them in the drop in bottles. But, when I went to look at them.. I didn't see a ziploc or anything. So I can't figure out if Iwas looking at the right things or not.
Medela is 18.99 for 50 and Lanshinoh is 11.99 for 50 at BRU.

Re: Cost-effective way to freeze breastmilk?
I used all the different kinds of bags and the Lansinoh ones are the ONLY ones that didnt leak for me. I used whatever bottles we had first and stored them with the flat lids and then went to bags and froze those. We used the bottles first, obviously. I didnt need to touch my freezer supply until Billy was about 3 months old. They last 3 months in the freezer, so the way it worked out was that I BF for 3+ months, but had enough of a supply for 6 months.

Avent makes containers that are reusable. We only used it for a small period of time since my supply is low but that was my plan to save $$
