Bags for Freezing Breast Milk?

[amychukityi]

FYI, Avent no longer produce the storage bag and now they only provide storage cup.

amy, thanks for letting us know. so back to square one i guess. my supply has been building up a bit lately in the fridge, so i'd like to start freezing before the pumped milk turns bad. with Avent bags gone, here are the freezer bag options, can someone pls help with the following?
- Lasinol bags with ziplock (how much are these?)
- Medela bags (how much are these?)
- Avent cups (can we use liners as freezer bags?) disposable cups would seem quite expensive...
- any other freezer bag options that more economical?
I like the idea of freezing them as cubes, do i need to double bag if i do that?

thanks,
kellyst

I have some some Avent freezer bags that I no longer need. If anyone is interested, drop me an email.

Hi kellyst,

Have you try Gerber Seal 'N Go Breast Milk Storage Bags yet? You can get them from Watson's. I used them and they're fine and much cheaper than any other brands than I know of. Good luck!

Best regards, Amanda Chen

Mannings sells them too. Try the bigger ones. they're cheaper than bumps to babes.

A less expensive alternative to the Avent bags are the Playtex bottle liners. Can't remember exactly how much, but definitely cheaper. I got mine from Bumps to Babes. Instead of twisties, I use plastic clips that you can get from either IKEA or Park n' Shop. I've been doing it this way for both LOs and so far no leaks.

ToysRUs has Playtex bags, I think they work out cheapest of all. You can also freeze in bottles, I'm sure.

I use Lansinoh 25 bags for $85 from Mothercare. I think it's the best storage bag ever!
