Kiinde Twist Pouch Direct-Pump Direct-Feed Twist Cap Breast Milk Storage Bags for Pumping, Freezing, Heating and Feeding, Pre-Sterilized, 6 Ounce, pack of 80

Worth the cost for a sleep-deprived exclusive pumping mama
The Kiinde system saved my sanity the first few weeks of baby’s life. I had a hard time breastfeeding because my baby has poor latch. My nipples and breasts were painful, there wasn’t enough milk, and I had to resort to pumping to help establish a milk supply.These pouches were amazing and worked with both my Spectra S1 and Medela Freestyle Flex using the adapters. They were convenient: less cleaning, no need to transfer milk, etc. I found the best way to use them initially was to use a bottle on one side and use a pouch on the other side when double pumping. Since I wasn’t getting a lot of milk from each side, I just transfer from bottle to the pouch, seal and label, then stick it in the fridge. At 10 weeks, I only produce 4-5oz per pumping session so one bottle/one pouch method is still the most economical approach.These pouches are also great for using when traveling or going to the pedia’s office. Anywhere, really. You can take many pouches without having to weigh your diaper bag or take up unnecessary space.The nipples are also great for breastfeeding babies because they are slow! I learned to always push out enough air before attaching the nipple so the flow will be slower. This would also require baby to suck more, mimicking breastfeeding.One con with this system is its hard to be accurate with measuring milk. However, if you combine it with other bottles that are more accurate, you’ll eventually be able to guesstimate the volume with confidence. Just make sure to expand the pouch first!The caps aren’t also screwed in fully in some boxes. So be sure to tighten them before throwing them in your pumping bag and heading out. This would ensure the insides are kept clean.The pouches freeze well and thaw well. I never had any leaks, using around 8-10 pouches a day for the past 3 months. Even the Kozii warmer works well. A huge plus? Como Tomo bottles fit in the warmer.Overall, I love this system. I loved it even more when I had to exclusively pump because my baby had to be hospitalized. He never wanted to breastfeed after that. The Kiinde system freed me from cleaning so many things. The nipples didn’t choke my baby. The pouches don’t leak. The adapters work with both my pumps. Feeding was made easier even if exclusively pumping! And kept my “breastfeeding” journey intact even if I had to pump to deliver breastmilk to my child.The main con? The price. I wish it was cheaper. At 37USD a month for the 160 pack (at the Kiinde website), it’s a bit steep. That’s the price of several good bottles. Amazon routinely has sales at 9.99 per box of 40, still a bit much when you pump 10x per day. I felt like the price was justified the first few weeks of life when baby only eats and eats. If you pump exclusively, these pouches are worth it! If it was half the price, I wouldn’t bother transitioning from the pouches to bottles at around 3 month mark when the baby eats less frequently (meaning you clean less bottles too so it’s more manageable!). I will still continue to use these pouches when I’m out, or in the car, or at night (when transferring to cheap pouches would be too much effort), but in the mornings, I would be pumping directly to bottles or from storage bottles to cheaper bags that freeze flatter for maximizing freezer space.

Easy to use and leak free!
While they are more expensive than other milk bags, they are worth it! They are very easy to use and can even be used with breast pumps when you purchase the correct adapter.They are also leak free! I haven’t had a single bag leak and they are easy to pour from.My only critique would be that they aren’t as easy to freeze flat as other bags.

Excelente producto, facil de usar muy buena calidad y por su tapa de rosca mejora mucho la manera de servirse en el bibi.

Me gusta mucho este sistema , había dudado de comprarlo o no por miedo a los derrames y fugas pero realmente cumple su función, compré el adaptador para el extractor y se lo puse a mi medela freestyle , funciona bien . También las botellas que se adaptan han resultado bien, había comprado la tetina de medela calma y mi bebé no se adaptó , pero la tetina de las kiinde es más sencilla y resultó funcional y más económico (mucho más ). Si estás pensando hacer banco de leche o hacer tomas diferidas , esta es una gran opción .
