Love love the new edges!
April 10, 2016
I have been exclusively breast pumping for almost two months now since my son is at the NICU so I need to freeze my milk. After doing some research I concluded that the Honeysuckle bags were the most bang for my buck while being of quality. However, they can get expensive for those who have to exclusively pump like myself. So last week after I noticed I was running out of the Honeysuckle bags I decided to give Lansinoh a try since they are amazons top rated breastmilk storage bag. After I received them I immediately wanted to return. I was not pleased with the bags when I compared them to the Honeysuckle bags. So 2 days ago I logged on to Amazon to do a return. Turns out that they gave me an option to exchange them for the new and improved bags! The edges are now wider and the bag seems thicker! I am so glad lansinoh listened to its customers who had complained about the milk leaking because the edges were too small. I feel that everyone who left a bad review should give these bags another chance now that they have improve them. They are honesty the best quality for the price. I will no longer be purchansing the more expensing Honeysuckle bags because the new lansinoh bags are just as well made if not better! Thank you thank you!

Do not buy!

These are cheap for a reason. I am an EP and had a HUGE freezer stash of milk before I went back to work. I switched to these bags because they are cheaper than the bags I normally used. Since I pump so much during the day it was a cost savings decision for me. As my daughter grows my freezer stash was dwindling quicker than I could replace it. I thought she must be eating more. Come to find out when I asked my husband what was happening he said that when these new bags defrost they break along the sides! He said if he’s not watching carefully he can lose a whole bag! I’ve lost over 50% of my milk supply because of these terrible bags! Extremely disappointed.

My pump, the bottles I use, and nipples are all Medela, so when I had my first child, I only used Medela bags for the first few months. When I went to the store to purchase more one day, they were out of Medela bags so I had to go with Lansinoh bags. I’m glad I did! These bags are great for freezer storage as they store flat (Medela bags do not store as flat so it’s difficult to store them in the freezer without taking up a lot of space). The material is thick so you feel confident when you put your “liquid gold” in the bags. Now that I’m onto my second child, I will not use a different bag than the Lansinoh bags. I want to feel confident that I will not lose any milk when thawing the bags, and Lansinoh has given me that confidence!

I used to use the Medela bags, but hated the expense and the fact that the bags never froze flat. I gave Lansinoh a chan e and learned quickly that I loved them. They stood up easily with enough milk in the bag, they seem to be reinforced and aren't to stiff that you cannot work with them, They held more milk than the Medela bags, and they froze flat. Well, after last night, I no longer love them. I normally thaw my bag(s) standing upright in a cup in the refrigerator, or even laying flat on a plate. I have never had any issues with leaking bags like I have heard others encountered. I placed the frozen bag in my bottle warmer as I used to do with my Medela frozen bags. Fast forward two minutes and I have that precious liquid gold leaking into my bottle warmer. I will continue to use the bags until I find one that works for me, and for the time being, I will have to thaw my bags in advance of needing them in the refrigerator like I used to. Definitely not convenient, but if it saves my milk, it will have to do.

I like these bags overall. We had an issue with a leak once after taking it out of the freezer but, as I said, that was only once. Also - one of the boxes contained bags where the serrations weren't working properly, causing me to rip the tops off of most of the bags accidentally. They were still useable and did the job, but it was quite frustrating and took away from some of the convenience while trying to pump at work.
* also, I use these with my medella pump. I just cut little slits in the top of the bags to attach easily to the pump adaptor.

These storage bags are amazing.
PROS:
They lie flat, which makes freezing them and storing them a cinch.
They hold quite a bit of milk, which makes them economical. I usually freeze 4 ounces in each bag and have plenty of room left in the bag.
The material is not quite thick but not too thin either.
I have not had any leakage problems to date. I have unfrozen approximately 100 bags to date and have not had a problem yet.
The price is good. You get a lot of bags for a cheaper price than their competitors.
The spout on the bags makes pouring pretty easy. You just have to hold the bags pretty steady when pouring them into bottles. I recommend using the pump horn as a funnel.
CONS:
In order to use a bag, you need to tear off a perforated top. If you are like me and you freeze a few bags each day, You get a lot of little plastic pieces on your countertop. It can be quite annoying to make sure it doesn't end up somewhere where it shouldn't be.
Overall, I continue to recommend them and purchase them.

EDIT: I changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 because these bags are MUCH easier to remove air from than any other bag I have tried. Pinch bag just above liquid level and it's almost like a static cling occurs and helps to seal the bag with minimal air. I also noticed that a few of them have leaked at the corner of the zipper when pouring milk out so I just flip the bag the other way and pour out the other side.
I gave the product 4 stars instead of 5 because it's basically triple sealed and it's a pain to get them open especially if you were doing it 1 handed. There's a top piece you tear off and throw away which all bags have but the top also has a perforated seal as well as the double zipper which is annoying. I prefer target brand bags. Cheaper and easier to open 1 handed. So far, no leaks.

I love these- I have a bit of an oversupply of milk (purposely), so I freeze breast milk a few times a week.
I've never had any issue with the bags not holding up in the freezer. I only put 6oz in each bag, as the company suggests, and I leave a tiny bit of air in the bag for expansion- no explosions in the freezer, ever. I wouldn't want any of that precious liquid gold wasted!
The bags have lable at the top of the opening of each bag where you can write when you froze the milk and how much. I like that this is at the top of the bag and not on the middle- much easier to read when looking to thaw out the oldest milk first.
Love these bags, will continue to purchase.

These are one of the best solutions we have used for storing breast milk for our baby. Mom was able to pump milk while at work and put into the bags from work and put into the freezer. We have not had one leak at all. It has measurements on the sides of the bags in Ounces and 1/2 ounces. The bottom of the bags allow them to stand up although once the milk is frozen it does not stand up.
On the tops of the bags there is an area where you can write the date etc. We used this not only for the date, but how many ounces was actually in the bag and put his name on them so when he had to start daycare each bag has his name, date and how many oz were in the bags. We put a maximum 11 oz in a bag and froze it without any problems. The bags are much easier to thaw out then storage in a hard plastic bottle. We used a hot cup of water to thaw them out. I would recommend these to any mom needing breast milk storage bags that don't leak and are durable enough to send to day care.

I read a lot of reviews before settling in which bags to buy. I hate the idea of single use bags but these are far more practical to store space-wise than glass containers. The bags are easy to use, they come sealed (you just tear off a little portion on the top) so you know the bag sterile and they stand really well when pouring milk in. The measurements are easy to read and they have a convenient space to write the date and time you pumped, the amount in the bag (since you’ll be laying the bag flat to freeze) and name (which is essential if you’ll be sending milk to a daycare/sitter or even if you visit someone where there is another baby in the picture). I clip a Sharpie right on the box so I always have one handy to label right away. This box comes with 4 zip-top bags filled with the milk storage bags which makes it easy to keep some at home, some in your pumping bag and some at work, if applicable, while still ensuring they are safe and clean before use. They are space efficient in the freezer and I’ve had no issues with leaking. I use a spectra pump so I don’t pump directly into the bags but it’s so simple to just pour the milk in from the bottles that I didn’t see a need to spend money on or store the adaptor. Overall, highly recommend these bags!
