Can you use breastmilk storage bags with this pump instead of the bottles?

I use the Kiinde twist bags with mine, works great. Get the starter pack it has the adapters needed.

Depends on what kind of flange set you get with the pump, if you get the wide neck, there's no soft storage bag that works with the wide neck flanges, if you get the normal flange (which is less likely), you may want to try "Medela Pump & Save Breastmilk Bags" and see if it works, sorry for not able to give definite answer.

Well you can pimp into the bottles and then transfer to the bags. I wasn't able to find the bags that will attach easily to the bottle

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.

I don't see why not, haven't tried it myself, we used Lansinoh milk storage bags for the freezer (the best bags, in my opinion. Inexpensive and sturdier than medela). Our baby used these bottles for the first 5 months then when she rejected them we still used the bottles for milk storage, it's nice that they come with lids for that.

Yes, you can use these. They are of a similar mould of the containers that come with the pump originally.

Yes you can, however it's just hard to burp the air out of the bags in the bigger bottles. Don't recommend it!

I never tried to use them with the playtex nurser bottles because the storage bags are just for storing breast milk. The nurser bottles insert liners are formed to just drop in, no hassle like they use to be when they looked like the milk storage bags.

Yes. This one is perfect: Bottle Cooler Bag and Ice Packs for Breastmilk Storage. Can Fit Into Medela Pump-in-style Carry Bag, and Can Hold Upto 5 Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags

Yes. I pump directly into the bags and then freeze. I label a gallon size freezer bag and store the milk in there. I suppose you can also wrote on the bags with a permanent marker.

Yes, but both of my kids did better with gas issues if I used my Dr. Brown's bottles. These are still awesome for pumping and storing though.

I tried the medela bags with it and it didn't work well. But there might be others put there that would work better. I also typically pumped more than I needed per bag so it was better for me to divvy it up into bags later.

I used the kit with my Madela pump. I found it easier to pump into and store in the small Madela bottles.

You can do either. You can easily pour from a bottle into the bags, or you can pump directly into the bag. They have adaptors for most breast pumps. I will say my medela pump in style had trouble pumping directly into the bag so I poured from a bottle.

Yes, but it easier and more convienent to use the lansinoh breast milk storage bags. The bags work well and can thaw faster(in a cup of warm water) when you need to quickly get a bottle ready. And also they take up less space. But we do have tons of these storage bottles as well to use for pumpkng

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

No. The output of the pump is heavy and a larger container is needed. I used a large cooler for one and have used a medium storage container from Wal Mart, the kind the sell during the holidays for packing up holiday decorations. Good system otherwise.

Yes. I used mine to adapt the pump to the large mouth of the bottles. Much easier than pumping and pouring into a different bottle.

Yes. Certain packages of the storage bags come with adapters to allow you to pump directly into the bag. The storage package will say on the outside whether it includes two adapters or not.
