I was pregnant with my second son who is turning 2, when I seen the first video; which helped me choose the Nuke bags. Thank you for ALL of your time and hard work you put into this study. I will forward your video to a couple of my friend's who are currently looking for the best bf bags to meet their needs. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you! You are amazing and very much appreciated!
The Kiinde feeding system is amazing and so ingenuous! I dismissed the system early on in our pumping journey and I just want to kick myself lol! The only thing I was is my pump parts, one pump bottle, one measuring bottle and a nipple or two. Ah-maz-ing!
I honestly put them in the back of my mind right away as this is my second baby I just wanted to go with the same thing we did with our first. My husband surprisingly said I should give them another chance because he watched reviews on them I'm so glad I gave them another try because this past week the system has worked amazingly for us! I wish I knew about them with my first!
Love these types of video!!! :) I'm always too chicken to buy new brands but I think I will try some that you recommended with baby number two. I was wondering if you have tried the new redesigned BONAFIDE BABY bags that you mentioned in your first video? They were my favs before Rowan was weaned. Thanks!
ugh i'm so mad they took away the direct pumping feature ;( i love to pump right into bags at work, i can leave them with my babysitter so that i don't have to wash pump bottles and baby's drinking bottles :(
Your reviews are great, and the time stamps on this one are amazingly helpful! Have you tried to pump directly into the new Lansinoh bags using the Motif Duo pump? Seems like that would work since it has a wide neck connector. Thanks!!
Yayy you’re the best ! I love your recommendations I was using the milkies and those are my fave but they aren’t on prime anymore so I switched to lansinoh and I was hoping those were good but I’m gonna have to try medela they look great
If someone told me a year ago that id be sitting watching milk storage bag reviews on youtube i wouldve laughed 😂 being a mumma does weird things to your youtube viewing habbits 😂
Great video! I have been using the Target up&up brand for 3 months and *knock on wood* never had an issue. Did you find they leaked more when you thawed them? I’ll probably switch now though... I can’t chance leaky bags.
Thank you! And yes, I found it was pretty bad no matter the method I tried to thaw): You may be able to find the old ones that have the black arrows on the box. The new ones have blue arrows
I got 100 pack of lansinoh bags for $9.19 at target. I saw that when I went to target they had the bags for like 16 bucks or so but I just showed them their price online and they gave it to me. 😊
Did target do another redesign? I went from using lansinoh to Up&Up and I LOVE them. I’ve never had a leaking issue and I’ve only heard good things of the brand!
If you mean another redesign since this video, I’m not sure because I’m weaned now. But the Target bags in this video were redesigned from their original ones. I just didn’t care for the redesign much! But I’m glad they worked for you!
With a new LO one the i would loce to see some updated reviews on some of the new bags that have released since this video such the unimom brand ( they have like 4 different kinds of bags to choose from) the booby milk bags and i think its called max strenth pro. Ir maybe an 8oz bag review.
What bag do/did you use for your daughters? I know you said you use the Lansinoh for donation milk, but what do you actually like to use? Sorry if I missed it.
How many bags can you fit in a gallon bag on average? I've been using Kiinde pouches (I don't use the whole system but I'm a NICU nurse and I've seen how leaky a lot of bags are) and can fit 8-9 6oz pouches in a gallon bag, just wanted to know how classic style bags compare as I'm running out of freezer space!
The older design leaked pretty regularly if I remember correctly but I did like that design more than the new one. All they needed to do was put a side seal around the old design. The new one felt stiff and difficult to work with when freezing but they also did leak like the old ones. I would say use them just make sure you have it inside another bag when thawing to prevent losing milk!
I love the Kiinde bags! I just like pouring it into the stable opening. I can tap my bottle into the bag to get every last drop. Some insurance covered bags!! Kiinde bags are covered by my insurance!
CURIOUS! I have to buy more bags here shortly, (have tried the old lansinoh and the phillips avent bags...) wondering, of all the bags that you have reviewed or used, which are your absolute favorite/go-to bags? Thanks in advance!
I went with lansinoh last time around but since I am staying at home and won't be pumping nearly as often I'm looking at quality over quantity and the Medela really stuck out to me - mostly because of the fat, white label! Even more convinced since it was your favorite overall.
I'll do a video once my daughter arrives in August since I'm currently weaned! But I would press the bag against my chest with almost the whole seal sealed, bring the milk to the seal and then finish sealing. It's actually better to have an air bubble or two since the milk will expand in the freezer once frozen!
I made this video years ago now so I can’t say for sure. I would narrow down which ones you’d like to use to a handful and look them up on Amazon. Most the time with listings they have dimensions for products in the details!
I think you just forgot to mention if they were accurate. I got the whole starter system with the warmer and the bottles as a gift so I was just curious.
Yes the tommee tippee bags are accurate. I would pump from medela pump to medela bottle, measure the amount I needed then pour milk into tommee tippee bag and it was spot on. I also pour milk from tommee tippee bag to comotomo bottle and it is also accurate. I now use the whole pump and go tommee tipee system. Hope this helps!
Momma Alia I’m looking forward to part 3. I’m expecting in February and am binge watching all your exclusive pumping videos as it’s something I’m considering.
I both weighed and used 2 different measuring cups when testing the samples for accuracy. In my experience between bottles and storage bags hardly any of them are correct. And they all pretty much vary between each other. Best result is measuring in your feeding bottles then pouring into the bags so you know you’ll have what your baby needs!

Happy to help!(:
I was so happy to see this video. couldn't wait to watch it. love your videos. great information. :)
+Colby Lynn Aw thank you!!😊💕

I’ll look into those!!
Love these types of video!!! :) I'm always too chicken to buy new brands but I think I will try some that you recommended with baby number two. I was wondering if you have tried the new redesigned BONAFIDE BABY bags that you mentioned in your first video? They were my favs before Rowan was weaned. Thanks!
+Natasha Barnhart Aw yay! No! I didn’t know they were redesigned😱 I’ll have to check them out for part 3!!
ugh i'm so mad they took away the direct pumping feature ;( i love to pump right into bags at work, i can leave them with my babysitter so that i don't have to wash pump bottles and baby's drinking bottles :(
+kristin shelby Aw I’m sorry🙁 I hope you can find something else that works!
Your reviews are great, and the time stamps on this one are amazingly helpful! Have you tried to pump directly into the new Lansinoh bags using the Motif Duo pump? Seems like that would work since it has a wide neck connector. Thanks!!
Aw thank you so much! I’m happy to help!! And no I haven’t, but I’ll have to try that next time!
The nurture rights look identical to the Bowtiger bags that I’m in LOVE with
+DeAnnA Mariee I’ll have to check those out for part 3!
Are you still pumping with new baby? Would love for an update on some newer bags that have come out. Smilo brand and maybe nanobebe
I’ll definitely be doing a part 3 once Lexi gets here!!
Nanobebe are so thick and I love them..😊
Yayy you’re the best ! I love your recommendations I was using the milkies and those are my fave but they aren’t on prime anymore so I switched to lansinoh and I was hoping those were good but I’m gonna have to try medela they look great
+Jocelyn Tobar Happy to help momma and hope you love them!😊💕
This was such a helpful video! You really took my stress away :) thanks for this great video!
So happy to help!!
The funny thing on the Ardo bags turns blue when you warm the milk. It's like a temperature indicator. Don't like them but that's what it is :-)
Whaaaaaaaat!? I don't know how I never noticed that!!
If someone told me a year ago that id be sitting watching milk storage bag reviews on youtube i wouldve laughed 😂 being a mumma does weird things to your youtube viewing habbits 😂
Lol right?
You're one of my favorites! Thank you!❤️
+Bri Gilmore Aw happy to help!💕
Love these types of videos! ❤
Glad you like them!
Great video! I have been using the Target up&up brand for 3 months and *knock on wood* never had an issue. Did you find they leaked more when you thawed them? I’ll probably switch now though... I can’t chance leaky bags.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO ANOTHER REVIEW
I can whenever I'm breastfeeding again
Thank you!!! I’ve watched this vid like 3 times now haha. Very indecisive over here
Hahah you’re very welcome! It can be overwhelming and a tough decision to make so I understand!
I got 100 pack of lansinoh bags for $9.19 at target. I saw that when I went to target they had the bags for like 16 bucks or so but I just showed them their price online and they gave it to me. 😊
That's awesome! So glad they price matched for you!
I really wanna try some of these out
I liked the Kiinde system but it’s expensive and the bags were bulky.
+Neva Paris Yep, I agree!
Did target do another redesign? I went from using lansinoh to Up&Up and I LOVE them. I’ve never had a leaking issue and I’ve only heard good things of the brand!
If you mean another redesign since this video, I’m not sure because I’m weaned now. But the Target bags in this video were redesigned from their original ones. I just didn’t care for the redesign much! But I’m glad they worked for you!
Ive been waiting forever for this!!!
+Amanda Jones 😊💕
Babies are us old design is my fav.. Then nuk is my love..
I'm gonna miss them!
I completely agree about lansinoh I got a free sample and thought they’d be great but hate them. Great review! Jw how often do you pump??
For the majority of my journey I pumped every 3 hours!
Can you also make a review about milk storage cups??? 🥺🥺🥺
Have you tried the nanobebe bags yet? Thoughts?
No complaints so far!
This was so helpful! Thank you :)
Yay! Happy to help!(:
I have been waiting for this!!!
+Julie Ceron 😊💕

Oh you know I’ll be doing a part 3 once Lexi arrives!!
What bag do/did you use for your daughters? I know you said you use the Lansinoh for donation milk, but what do you actually like to use? Sorry if I missed it.
Lansinoh for donating and Medela for my personal stash!!
How many bags can you fit in a gallon bag on average? I've been using Kiinde pouches (I don't use the whole system but I'm a NICU nurse and I've seen how leaky a lot of bags are) and can fit 8-9 6oz pouches in a gallon bag, just wanted to know how classic style bags compare as I'm running out of freezer space!
I can typically get at least 11, sometimes 12 or even 13. Just depending on size obviously(:
Thanks for the bag update! I will be sharing it a lot!
+V3nomous Vixen Aw thank you!!💕
How did you like the old design for the babies r us bags? I have some from my last breastfeeding journey that I hadn't used but I'm hesitant.
The older design leaked pretty regularly if I remember correctly but I did like that design more than the new one. All they needed to do was put a side seal around the old design. The new one felt stiff and difficult to work with when freezing but they also did leak like the old ones. I would say use them just make sure you have it inside another bag when thawing to prevent losing milk!
I love the Kiinde bags! I just like pouring it into the stable opening. I can tap my bottle into the bag to get every last drop.
Some insurance covered bags!! Kiinde bags are covered by my insurance!
+Lily Dinh I do love that part!! How awesome!
How do you get it covered?!
The Dr dudu aren't available :( I really wanted them. They were so cheap they now show a pink new design and it's more expensive
I'm sorry to hear that
CURIOUS! I have to buy more bags here shortly, (have tried the old lansinoh and the phillips avent bags...) wondering, of all the bags that you have reviewed or used, which are your absolute favorite/go-to bags? Thanks in advance!
Medela hands down!
I think they redesign the parents choice bags
I’ll check them out and see!
This is a great video!!!!
I went with lansinoh last time around but since I am staying at home and won't be pumping nearly as often I'm looking at quality over quantity and the Medela really stuck out to me - mostly because of the fat, white label! Even more convinced since it was your favorite overall.
+Taylor Blackwell Hope you love them because I know I do😊💕
How do you get all the air out of the bags? I have such a hard time with air bubbles!!! Can you do a video? I saw like no air in your bags!!!
I'll do a video once my daughter arrives in August since I'm currently weaned! But I would press the bag against my chest with almost the whole seal sealed, bring the milk to the seal and then finish sealing. It's actually better to have an air bubble or two since the milk will expand in the freezer once frozen!
Momma Alia thanks!!! Mine get huge air bubbles!!!
Are the screwtops on the kiinde and tommee tippee pump and go bags interchangeable? Can they be used in each others bottles?
I haven’t checked that. Although they look similar I’m not 100% sure if they would
which one of these is the widest? like at least 5" x 7"?
I made this video years ago now so I can’t say for sure. I would narrow down which ones you’d like to use to a handful and look them up on Amazon. Most the time with listings they have dimensions for products in the details!
Are the tommee tippee bags accurate?
+Amanda Layton Can’t remember off the top of my head but 18:58 is the time I review them.
I think you just forgot to mention if they were accurate. I got the whole starter system with the warmer and the bottles as a gift so I was just curious.
I would like to know accuracy as well for Tommee Tippee. If you know please let me know.
Yes the tommee tippee bags are accurate. I would pump from medela pump to medela bottle, measure the amount I needed then pour milk into tommee tippee bag and it was spot on. I also pour milk from tommee tippee bag to comotomo bottle and it is also accurate. I now use the whole pump and go tommee tipee system. Hope this helps!
Have you tried the baby nova storage bags?
I believe I’m currently trying them!
Which bags are most accurate?
In each bags review I mention if they’re accurate. Several different brands were and other weren’t
Hello, can you kindly review the nanobebe bags?
Coming soon!
Momma Alia thank you
Would u do a new bag review ??
It’s coming! Having trouble with shipping the last few I needed to review!
Do you still like the Avent bags?
Yes!!
No avent???
I've searched amazon for the medela brand and all I find is the old design.
Here you go momma (: a.co/82Q0sBH
Go to buy buy baby s store or website there way cheaper there as well.. there only 14.99 for a 100 pack
Have you tried the nanobebe bags?
I haven’t yet but plan to do a part 3 to this video when I deliver my daughter in August☺️
Momma Alia I’m looking forward to part 3. I’m expecting in February and am binge watching all your exclusive pumping videos as it’s something I’m considering.
Wonder if her measurements were just 1/2oz off .. what are the odds they are all 1/2oz
I both weighed and used 2 different measuring cups when testing the samples for accuracy. In my experience between bottles and storage bags hardly any of them are correct. And they all pretty much vary between each other. Best result is measuring in your feeding bottles then pouring into the bags so you know you’ll have what your baby needs!
I can't find honeysuckle on amazon
Yeah I don’t think they sell in the US anymore ):
Should review Nuby bags, i saw them on amazon for £4.99 but dunno if they are gonna be any good or not
I don't believe I've ever seen them in the states
Do you have a video on thawing your milk
+JussLex Yep! It’s in my EP series. “How I Use My Freezer Stash” is what I believe I called it (:
I miss the honeysuckle bags
Me too!
