I work 2 twelve hour night shifts at very stressful job. I pump at work 2-3 times a night. I use the Lasinoh bags to store and freeze my milk. However, I had trouble with these bags leaking or springing a hole. My milk and time is very PRECIOUS to me. How do you store your milk?

I was using bags too, but I just bought Medela storage bottles. I like that they are reusable and they attach directly to my pump (even though it's an Ameda). Plus, I don't have to work about leaks. I bought them at Babies R Us.

I understand what you mean. Spilling a drop of my milk (after I’ve worked so hard to express it & have just the right amount) can ruin my morning!! I have used various brands of bottles and bags: Medela, Avent, Lansinoh, Gerber...I think I tried almost every brand out there! I like the Lansinoh bottles (they can be used in the freezer or refrigerator) and the Lansinoh freezer bags. I have also used the Medela bags that attach to Medela pumps for long-term storage in the freezer & neverhad any leaks. But, the Medela bags are not accurate in measurements (both pre- and post-freezing). For example, 4 oz. of milk pumped into the Medela bag actually equaled only 2 oz. in the bottle. Gerber bags are okay, too. Typically, though, I pump directly into my Avent bottle using the ISIS and store in the fridge, it keeps for up to 7 days. Hope this helps :)
