These milk freezer storage bags have worked very well for me. I highly recommend them!!
For anyone wanting advice about storing breast milk, here are the other items I've used that have served me very well:
- I freeze my milk in these 1oz TRAYS (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00553XPMM), which in my opinion are a genius product!!! I highly recommend them for anyone creating a stash of frozen pumped breast milk, as the 1oz serving size is perfect so you can defrost only exactly as much as you need, and the frozen bars are so easy to store.
- I purchased these TONGS (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JRXQCHQ) for transferring the frozen bars from the tray into storage bags. First I'd dislodge each bar out of its mold by pushing on the bottom of the tray and letting the bars fall into the tray lid. Then I'd use these tongs to pick up each bar and place them in a storage bag.
- I bought 3 of these FREEZER STORAGE ORGANIZERS (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BAGEA1I) to stack my storage bags neatly in my freezer & make it easy to know which bars to defrost first.
Best of luck to all you mamas out there building up a freezer stash!!
I've used Parent's Choice, Medela, Lansinoh, Up & Up, and these are my favorite. I love that the guidelines are right there on the bag and it let's you fill to 7oz. Downsides are that they don't freeze flat, and that you can't get them in grocery stores. These are great for mom's who work or are away from their baby long enough to need someone else to feed them. My box came smooshed in the mail but bags were unharmed.
My favorite thing about these bags is that they have storage instructions for the different storage temperatures. This is reassuring when you are leaving it with another caregiver. I also like how thick the bag is. It will stand up strong once the milk is in it. However, then it won't freeze flat, it will have an incline. I guess you could stagger them in the freezer. If you're not stock piling a lot of milk and worried about freezer space these are great. I'm sure they won't leak; they are very sturdy.
I am very happy with these bags. I've only tried the Medela ones and was NOT pleased - i thought the bag was sealed and ended up spilling at least a tablespoon of breastmilk (any spillage is worth crying over!). I prefer the size of the Milkies bags - adequate room to fill them with at least 4 oz and still have room the squeeze excess air out before sealing. I'm a repeat customer and don't see any reason to buy any other type of bag!
Great quality bags but the measurement on the front is not accurate. I have to remember to write down the ounces of milk on the bag before I pour the milk from the bottle in there otherwise I have to pour it back out for accurate measurement. I really like that the guidelines for storing milk is right on the bag! Super convenient!

Description
Finally - breast milk storage bags designed by actual moms who understand the challenges of pumping and storing milk! If you've ever had your "liquid gold" (aka: breast milk) ruined by a broken or leaky milk storage bag, you're already well acquainted with the shortcomings of other storage bags. They're cheaply made, flimsy to handle, and the seal you get is tenuous at best. Milkies "No-Break, No-Leak" Storage Bags are different. They're premium milk storage bags made with special reinforced sides to prevent breakage in the freezer. Also, Milkies Storage Bags feature a double-zipper closure system which ensures your milk won't leak out. What's more, Milkies Storage Bags stand upright on their own, allowing you to easily pour your milk into them without spilling a single drop! And of course, as with all Milkies products, Milkies Storage Bags are completely BPA-Free and made from the highest quality, food-grade plastic. For your convenience, helpful milk storage guidelines are printed on every bag. One box of Milkies Breast Milk Storage Bags contains 50 bags.
I continue to order these bags. They are tough and I have never had an issue with leaks. I used the pump n store bags from medala before, and while convenient, I had a few leaks. You can buy attachments to hold the bags if you prefer to pump into the bag, or you can just use tape. I prefer to use a bottle and then funnel the milk into the bags, after having a couple spills while pumping into bags.
I love these bags. The messages on them are great- especially if you have someone else watching your baby and you want to feel peace of mind that they will be reminded on how to care for your milk (and your child!). For me- I have a large oversupply so they are just too expensive for me to use regularly or else I would!
I've tried SEVERAL brands and they all smelled so bad of plastic. These don't have that awful plastic smell. I've bought these over and over again throughout my pumping journey.
Work great! Just as expected
These are just what I wanted. I wanted storage bags that didn't have pleats on the bottom because I felt like milk was getting left in the bag in the pleats. These are a heavy duty plastic and stand on their own. I am very happy with the purchase. I just wish they had an easier, cleaner tear strip on the top.
