Breastmilk Storage Bags ??

i didnt think you were meant to put milk into ziplock bags due to the plastic leaking chemicals into the milk, perhaps check with barb

Yep I thought the same AJP, unless you use the specific zip lock mades made for BM.

I dont mean zip lock bags - I was thinking plain old freezer bags...........

i find it quiet disapointing that such neceseties for breastfeeding as so expensive!

EXACTLY!!! I mean c'mon, they must cost like 5 cents to produce!!! They are just plastic.... are any of them BPA free?

Might have to invest in a whole bunch of glass botles just to store the EBM - I guess over a year it would turn out economical considering the cost of bags!

I am so glad I found this thread but am even more glad this morning when I discovered some BPA ones online. I was struggling with EBM storage for ages.

My sis put me onto these Cherub Baby ones and I just placed my order - not too expensive I didn't think.

I would love to know why they have disappeared from sale at Priceline and pharmacies - they need to stock these again!!!!

I think one of the reasons they are so expensive is that they are better quality plastic, and they are sterile. wellm, the ones I use are, they are abot $10 for a 10 pack I think from the chemist...I used the Kanesori ones and they are ace. they have a seal on them, they are easy to use, adn as I said they are sterile.

I actually have a full packet here if you want them....PM and I will post them over , cos I dont use them anymore and noone I know BFs...

My problem with bottles is the storage space they'd need. I have well over a litre of EBM in the freezer & the amount of bottles I'd need would take up too much space. I agree though it's nuts that you have to send so much for something that really is a necessity.

I feel a convincing argument coming on for a new nice big fridage, what do you think girls??!!
