About Milkies Milk-Saver:

The patented Milk-Saver collects your leaking breast milk as you nurse or pump-allowing you to store extra breast milk effortlessly with each feeding.

It is extremely easy to use, you just have to slip the Milk-Saver into your bra-cup on the non-nursing side before you breastfeed. The Milk-Saver collects the milk that is leaked when your breast milk lets down. Once you’ve finished your breastfeeding session, simply transfer the collected milk into storage containers and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to feed your baby at a later tim.

The Milk-Saver holds a little more than 2 ounces of breastmilk, and includes a protective lid to prevent milk from spilling out of the Milk-Saver during normal use. And with its stylish, durable case, your Milk-Saver will stay safe and clean when you are on the go.

About Milkies Milk Trays:

Pumping and storing breast milk takes effort. It is a labor of love, of course, but hard work nonetheless. But, if pumping and storing your breast milk helps you reach your breastfeeding goals and allows your child to have your breast milk for as long as possible, it is worth every bit of effort, right?

Milk Trays are a breast milk freezing system that can be used to make this chore much easier. They may look similar to your typical ice cube trays, but if you take a closer look, you will see that Milk Trays are much, much more. They are designed specifically for expressed milk. Most importantly, Milk Trays are made from PET plast, a food-safe plastic that contains no BPA, phthalates, or dyes. Milk Trays freezze your milk in 1-ounce “Milk Sticks” that fit through ALL bottle openings and allow you to thaw just the right amount of milk for each feeding – so that not a drop of your “liquid gold” goes to waste. Milk Trays also have a fitted lid that protect your milk while it freezes and allow for space-saving stacking in the freezer, and the trays are flexible enough to allow Milk Sticks to be removed easiliy. They are also reusable.

My Thoughts:

I have been incredibly impressed with each of these products. First of all, who wants to let breastmilk go to waste when you have a letdown? I know of absolutely no nursing mother that does. The Milk-Saver is an incredible product that allows for you to effortlessly get a little milk. I must admit that I got more than I realized was leaking, so that was a major plus.

The Milk Trays are my ultimate all time favorite nursing product that I have ever used. I am not sure how I was able to go back to work and pump without these wonderful products with my previous daughters. I love having the cubes as opposed to having bags and bags of milk sitting in my freezer. I love that I can just take a bag of cubes to my daycare provider and she can get out however much milk is necessary. I know that I will be purchasing these amazing products for all friends that will be having babies in the future and breastfeeding.
