Can you combine two bags into one with ease? Or if you pump into a bottle on one side, can you pour that into the bag on the other side?

I have done that before bag on one side and bottle on other because I usually only pump about 2 ounces to freeze, or I single pump.

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.

Yes, it's very easy to pour into the bags. I found recently that if you leave the adapter on the top of the bag after pumping (so you unscrew the pump parts from the Kiinde adapter), it's even easier to pour into. The Kiinde adapter works sort of like a funnel. Every night I pump into a kiinde bag on one side and a bottle on the other, then pour the bottle into the Kiinde bag.

It's pretty easy to transfer milk from one bag to another. When I pump if one side produces more, I will often even out the amounts so I have consistent supply for feelings. Also you can just pump directly into the bags and bypass using a traditional bottle.

You can mix in the bottle, just make sure to put the top over the nipple before mixing or it will go everywhere.

No, the bottles would roll off if I understand what you're asking. You can put the two pieces side by side instead of stacking them.

Make sure the lid is screwed on correctly and tightly and yes, you can throw these into a bag. I have done it several times when I'm in a hurry in the morning with no leaks.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

I typically pump 4-6 oz at a time so I only hook one side up with the bag, the other I pump into a bottle then dump the bottle into the bag- saves bags and the kiddo gets a "full feeding" from one twist bag.

I don't think so, I use the medela milk storage bags instead since they occupy less space (I have a small freezer), and easier to thraw so I can continue to use the bottles for pumping and feeding purposes.

Super easy!! Just slide your bottle inand zip it closed like a zip lock bag. The bottle will go in the middle with padding on each side.

I don't pump directly into these or any bags. I pump into bottles and then pour them into these bags. I absolutely recommend these bags and use them exclusively. Never any problems with leaking.

I think you could submerge it but the contents would have to be pretty heavy. Even though you push most of the air out there is still air in the bag.

I guess it depends on your pumping machine. If they fit then yes you can. I had the medela one and i pumped directly to their bottle and then store it in the Dr Browns bottles. I found it easier this way since the medela bottles are the right ones for that machine but also to be sure that i did not mess with the pumping process.

Yes. As long as you're able to hold the bottle steady with one hand, you can pump the bottle opener with the other hand.

i have not done that but I would think you can. This are very sturdy, well-made bottles. I have bought others over the years and these are the best quality, better than some I paid a lot more for. I use them for things like vinegar, no problem.

No. The system hooks up directly to the bottle. I have been pumping into the bottle and then dumping that into a storage bag.

Yes you can. I suggest double seal on both ends. Also I suggest food saver bags, some other brands are just not up there in quality. The price difference is well worth it.

This site has protocols for milk storage: http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/ It notes that you can combine milk from different pumping sessions, but you should cool the new milk first. So I would say probably don't reattach the bag, but I do pump into a different container (the bottle that comes with my pump tends to give more accurate measurements anyway), cool that, and combine to save bags. Note also that if you do combine, you should treat the milk as if it were all from the earliest date, for freshness. I hope that helps!

Yep - you just can't attach it. You just pour it from the bottle when you're done. I have a Medela pump and these bags are far superior. They hold more and never leak.
