Can these store (expressed) milk in the fridge for a week? Or do the vents on the bottom mean that air gets in and spoils the milk/the milk leaks out?

I'm not sure, but I believe expressed milk should only be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days, regardless of container. I also believe it is 3 months in a freezer and 6 months in a deep freezer. I would recommend calling a IBCLC ( internationally board certified lactation consultant) to verify safe and evidence-based storage times. :). Good luck, and congratulations! I hope breast feeding is going well.

Well, it will not be hermetically sealed. There always will be some air in the bottle. I think you would be better of with some other containers. A day or two I would say yes. No, they won't leak. Just don't use a bottle warmer because they will leak. Annoying I know. My baby is 8 months and it's the only bottle I use and I only own one! It's easy to clean and assemble. The angle is cool. They only down side is that you can't heat the liquid in the bottle.

Would be better to store the milk in a breastmilk storage bag. Much more space friendly in your freezer! :)

I haven't experienced leaks with them, you can place them horizontal and assuming you have a flat even surface they'll be fine, but I own these and the 5 ounce medela bottles that are fatter and I prefer those.While they haven't broken on me I feel like these are more flemsy and I can't store as much milk so I've switched to the larger ones.

They aren't sealed enough, but Tommee Tippee has lids specifically for breastmilk, we use them for a lot of things

I empty out the milk once a day for the most and clean it off with a cloth + rinse the connectors and the hose.Because of the use I also ad fresh cool milk several times a day, so it never stays for more than half a day or the night over. Try removing the milk every night and rinsing the unit. The milk can be placed back in the refrigerator and added in the morning.This unit works to keep the milk cool BUT I do not think you can substitute a refrigerator with it.

I haven't used it for breast milk as I use the storage bags. I would probably suggest using it to freeze the milk then transfer the cubes into an airtight container. I wouldn't use for long term because they don't have an airtight seal. Hope that helps!

These are leak-proof. I've packed water and milk in them for the kids' lunches and never had an issue. (Except when the preschooler threw his away and I had to dumpster dive.)

My cooler keeps the milk very cold and the milk lasts for several days: I just measured the milk at 34F which is comfortably lower than what is required to keep milk from spoiling. There is a push button on/off switch on the back that also controls the blue light. I think your machine may be defective and you should consider returning it. Measure the milk temperature and if it is not lower than 38F the milk will not keep long. Safest to always use pasteurized milk.

I honestly haven't tested them, I load them up and stack them and put them in the freezer. I have never had anything leak out, the lid is tight, it won't pop off. I haven't put them on their sides or upside down however to test the seal. Hope this helps!

The vented lids come OFF in the lunch box, if you don't secure them with rubber bands! I use two rubber b ands to secure them, the lids do not snap on like you'd expect. The vents on the lids can be closed, but I don't know if they are "leak proof". I recommend laying them right side up to transport. Actually, I would recommend going to Target and buying the Rubbermaid ones!

You are correct the "fresh vent" does not seal completely. I would not recommend for liquids, sandwiches maybe. They are incredible for keeping veggies fresh!

There is a rubber seal on the inside of the plastic lid. Some of them still leak. I certainly would not call them airtight.

I pumped into the bottles and then stored the milk in the medela freezer bags. I usually had 2-3 bottles in the fridge ready to go and then I would just freeze the rest. I had ALOT of bottles but that was just my preference because I didn't want to have to wash bottles constantly.

I freezer store food in them often. Great for short term, not sure if they are the best for storing food for months at a time though...

I can answer the first two--yes, milk container stores well in fridge, and coffee temp is hot enough. Don't have a plus so don't know how the programming compares--you can adjust the volumes of coffee/espresso dispensed. Includes the machine, the milk jug, a sample pack of a few Nespresso pods, and an attachment for hot water in place of the milk jug.

I have never had a single problem with the lids. If anything, they are sometimes a bit too tight. Ie, a bit hard to put on at first until you practice a bit. I store hummus and salad dressing in the little ones, and have never had any leaks. I use a shopping bag, so they certainly aren't lying flat at ANY point. So thumbs up in my opinion!

No. They are very small and the lids are not sealed . I bought some Avent's recipes for store milk.
