Can you feed directly from bags? ie, use the adapter to connect to nipple and ring? (Want to use these as feeding "bottles," no freezing or heating)

My answer would be 'No' b/c there would be no way from spilling the milk when you tipped the bag. There's no seal around adaptor, the bag zip-locks shut.

These were the worst nipples for that problem for us as well... I finally just switched to dr brown's nipples with the venting system (you can use on almost any regular sized bottle opening... For example we use evenflo glass bottles)...

Yes. They also work with Medela bottles, so you can go straight from pumping and storing to feeding your baby.

You can use regular nipples for these bottles as long as you have the ring.They say that you can only use the nipple 1x and throw out. Not true and waste of money.

They have a kit to do this - it's awesome. I think this is it: Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)There is also an adapter to pump directly into the bags.

If you were to double-pump, then pumping with one bag and then a bottle would work fine. I usually just pump one breast at a time. Often, I do pump into a bottle then pour into the bags though. I have poured from one bag to another with ease, but only if one has a lot more. I don't want to waste one.

Sorry I originally purchased the Medella pump with the bottles. I've only used these bottles for feeding purposes only.

Both sizes come with medium flow nipples which are fine to use with newborns. This is my third baby and I will tell you that these are by far the best bottles I've ever used. Good luck Mama!

You don not have to attach it. you can use it like a traditional bag, but the design is to cut out that step. with the adapter you can pump directly into the bag, because the bag becomes the bottle.

I got two teething feeders. Each one came with an extra mesh bag which can be replaced and cleaned while the other is being used. I love it. It works. Ps....don't let the food stay on the mesh bag, rinse it to prevent heavy staining. Hope this answers your question.

This is not the best answer because I haven't tried advent bottles, but, I wanted to pump into bags, but the reviews and price of the Lansinoh bags without handles won out. You could hold them while you pump I guess but that could get messy. My 4 oz. Dr. Browns bottles attach to the pump, even the glass one, but glass is heavy so I just pour into bags again now :/

A little more on these bags here : http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/584/pump-and-save-bags#!Features. I can't help more. I don't know that it has been demonstrated that these bags are unsafe. For the most part, the milk I pump is given to my daughter the next day, so it's not frozen (freezing makes the breastmilk less beneficial). The frozen milk is there just in case -- and to not throw away the extra.

Yes, IF YOU PURCHASE THE ADAPTERS (sold separately). These pouches are great for storing and freezing. I had only one pouch break and leak on thawing across 9 months of freezing milk (as opposed to many while using other brands with my first).

You can use any regular baby nipples and bottle rings for these. If you want to use the one time use nipples just search on amazon for similac nipples and you should be able to find lots. The one time use ones are great when traveling you can just toss them.

I'm afraid I'm not much help to you. I used these nipples to feed a orphan puppy. I did have it on a 4 oz baby bottle (if that helps).

I love the bags! Super durable! I use the bags to Save the Milk in the freezer, but I do not use the pump directly in it option. The reason why is the oz measurement is not as accurate as a bottle and also you cant really move around with the bag hanging.... The bottle attached gives you more freedom if you are going hands free!

Born free sells an adapter that fits the wide neck bottle and screws into the bottom of most breast pumps. I've used the adapter with Medela and Ameda pumps. The only complaint on my end is the glass bottles can be heavy while your're pumping and they're not ideal to store milk; I used them only for non-freezing or I used the plastic bottles.
