[{sarah}]

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

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??!!

Kitten, I think that's a great idea

Sarah, must have the "luxury" tax on them, the same as toilet paper and tampons !

A friend had told me she pours her milk into the ice cue tray, lets it settle (freeze) a little, then covers it with cling wrap. When completely frozen she pops them out into zip lock bags, dates them and puts them in the deep freezer. Not too bad an idea. But yes, still the issue of the BPA'S.
