Avent Via Breast Milk Storage Kit 1 kit

These VIA containers are great for milk storage. Easy to clean and easy to stack. However, I have had issues with using them with the blue adapter top for feeding from it. No matter how firm or hard I screw on the adapter, when the entire unit is assembled, sometimes the bottom cup will just unscrew and fall off. After having one too many bottles of pumped milk fall on the floor or come apart on the counter, etc. I refuse to use these for feeding from.

I do use these with the Avent ISIS for pumping and then immediate storage. However, your better off transferring the milk to a regular hard plastic Avent bottle to do feeding from, don't use these for feedings.

I like the concept that you can pump right into them and feed out of them as well. The problem is that the blue lids are a pain in the butt to get off but if you don't screw them on tight enough then they will leak. I bought two boxes of them and I am kind of disappointed because I have really ended up not liking to use them because they are two hard to get the lids off and at 2am you don't want to fight with the lids and then spilling it all over the place.

I bought these to store my milk in while I pumped at work. I liked that they hold about 6 oz, and I use Avent bottles, and thought it'd be good quality. I was VERY disappointed because once you start using them, the lids stop working properlythey become extremely hard to close because they don't seem to screw on correctly. And once you think it's screwed in well, you push down on the lid and it's still loose. Many times when I get home, I find that milk has spilled out of the bottles while I was driving!! And another problem is that when milk gets in the grooves of the lid, it makes it really hard to open. And when you put it in the refrigerator, and milk gets cold, it's almost like it becomes glue in the grooves. So you're fighting to open the lid, just to have it spill when you finally open it because you're using so much force. Sure, it's nice that the bottles stack, and it's easy to store the lids together, but at the end of the day, do not use this to store milk. I'm a working mom and EVERY drop of milk I pump is priceless. Unfortunately Avent didn't do a good job in designing this for it's primary purpose to save and store milk. Oh, I also went to the Avent website and saw in their Q&A section a question about the lid/leakage problem. The answer in the website was that they didn't recommend using these more than FOUR times because the cups/lids become warped and could lead to leakage. Really? Four times? I mean, did they really expect me to buy a new package each week?

Overall, I'm pretty happy with these. Sometimes the lids don't quite want to go on right, and even though they're supposed to hold 6 oz., I try not to put in more than 5.5. It's also not entirely clear what you're supposed to use to write on them. I tried pencil, but it didn't really work. Ink did want to wash off. Sharpies work okay for the most part, but they don't wash off entirely either. Something scratchy helps, but not all the time. I'm not sure if it depends on the type of Sharpie. Oil helps so, too.

This product does what is supposed to do and fits inside the pump so you can pump and store easily. Sometimes the lids can be hard to open but besides that it is a good product. My son (1 year old) also likes to play with them so it can be a toy once you are done with them.
