What it does
A 50 pack of pre-sterilized, self-standing 6 oz (180 ml) bags with a double zipper for storing breast milk in the fridge or freezer.
- Stands on its own for filling and can be laid flat to freeze
- Write-on area for the date and time milk was expressed
- Measurement markings on the bag
- Philips lists it as compatible with its Comfort electric and manual pumps
A low cost bag for parents storing modest amounts of milk who want a double zipper and a bag that stands up to fill. The trade-offs are small: some find the opening tight to fill and the tear tabs fussy, and Stork Mama suggests them more for short term storage than a large freezer stash.
