Can these be pumped into directly (say, from a Medela) or is some kind of adapter needed?

As far as I know you can not pump into them directly. I don't see how you could. The top is just two rows of ziplocks. I just pumped into the bottles that came with my pump and poured them into a bag.

I pumped into Medela bottles and then poured the milk into the bags for storage. They do not attach directly to the Medela pump.

Sorry,I've never used Medela Pump .You can measure the aperture to determine if appropriate

Not directly. The Airhead does not have threads on the upper part of the adapter, so does not work with threaded pumps.

I had a Medela. I imagine it would work just fine as it's really just two circles/holes cut out and the suctions from the bottles get inserted there. I believe it's pump agnostic. The manufacturer could confirm.

No, but there is an adapter made by Playtex that works very well to pump straight into the bags

Yes you can but it will take a lot longer to pump up and if you have the right adaptor for it

I honestly don't remember what type of pump I have. I know it's a medela and it's a backpack. It worked really well for me. it's a 12 VDC MAX. Im sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck

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.

Don't agree with the YES answer. It's a bit more complicated, but I tried to answer this in a video that shows both the Pumpin Pal next to the Medela: http://www.amazon.com/review/R31YEAB1J6JAA7

I don't think so. I brought home Medela parts from the hospital and I tried to use them with the spectra pump..they didn't fit.

Yes. I have a Medea and there was a set of 2 of those adapters and a few other pump brand adapters too

I have the Medela pump which they work with not sure about ameda I don't see why not

You need to buy the adapters cause the opening of the pouch is slightly smaller than the part of the pump that it needs to screw into

I dont think so- I used our bike pump- if I recall, it had an adapter to put on the bike pump. It was definitely a little awkward to pump up without a helper but I think I just wedged it between my feet or something!

No, and I have had trouble finding parts for it, but you can buy a medela harmony manual pump fairly cheaply and those parts ARE interchangeable.

I never used the manual pump but I don't see why not. I used several brands of storage bags with my medela pump.

Mine didn't. I have a Medela pump and an Ameda pump and none of my parts were compatible with the other.
