Ameda Milk Storage Bags

The right milk storage bags make all the difference when it comes to storing breastmilk and keeping it safe and fresh. Look for a sturdy option that is designed specifically to hold breast milk and won't tear easily or leak when used correctly. The best choice will also have accurate, easy-to-read measurement markings (though it's worth noting that most do not match up well to a bottle's ounce markers), a double zipper lock that's guaranteed to keep the contents of your bag intact and even and flat in the freezer, and pre-sterilization.

These easy-to-use bags from Ameda feature a wide mouth that makes it simple to pump directly into them and have an angled top for hassle-free pouring of milk into bottles without spills. They're thick and durable, with a double-zip closure that promises leak-proof protection. They're also able to stand up on their own (and don't require a special bag dispenser) and have labeling space at the top.

They don't have a wide opening, but they do offer an asymmetrical tear-off top that's easy to use. They have space at the top to write in the date and details and are a great choice for nursing moms who want to use their frozen stash after baby is weaned. They're not as easy to use as other options in our tests, but they are a good choice for new nursing mothers who are looking for an affordable solution to store their milk.
