Overview
Description
In this system, you pump directly into a sturdy portion-sized freezer storage bag which gets slotted into the organized holder. (The freezer storage bag is compatible with any major pump brand.) When baby’s ready to eat, you thaw the milk and then slide the storage bag into a bottle casing. Finally you screw a nipple directly onto the bag within the bottle, and the milk is ready for baby!
The main value of this system is the only thing you have to wash is the nipple (and your pump parts). The main downside of this system is you have to recycle the bags each time, and the cost of buying new can add up. (They’re about 33 cents each when purchased in bulk.) The system ensures that not a single drop of milk is wasted in transfer. Some families find it a lot easier than pouring milk between pump bags and bottles.
The starter kit comes with three different flow speeds and the nipples are designed to mimic a natural latch. But babies can be picky about what nipples they use. If your baby demands a different nipple, you can buy an adapter to use on other bottles Make sure to screw it on tight to prevent leaks. Also, because these are storage bags, not storage bottles, it can be difficult to tell the exact amount of milk inside of them, even with the measurements marked on them.
One thing that is really nice about the bags is they are so much stronger and sturdier than your typical bag and you don’t have to worry about them rupturing. Another thing to keep in mind is that freezing your milk isn’t necessary if the baby’s going to drink it the next day. The Mayo Clinic says it’s fine to keep breast milk in your refrigerator for three days.

not worth it
Doesn’t really work, not worth it. Didn’t end up using at all.
Nov 3, 2023
The bags are great but the rest is really unnecessary. I didn't use the bottles. The storage thing for the freezer is ok. Came with a half dozen pump adapters but the free starter kit from kiindes website lets you just pick the one you need for your pump. Had I known I would've skipped this kit, too many pieces go to waste.

Must have! I love it
This literally came so useful to me. Im a new and single mom and this has everything I need. I love how easy to use and convenient everything is. These pouches are not reusable but I found them pretty cheap, about $10 for same sz box of pouches on Amazon. This is a must have for exclusive pumping/breast feeding moms. I exclusively pump and it’s great for on the go, I don’t have to carry bulky bottles. Just pouch, pouch feeding bottle and haaka manual pump. It’s also great at home if you have an…

Great kit for storing and breast feeding baby.

Easy to use and figure out. Glad they gave so many bags to store the milk.

Totally recommend to all mom's who plan to nurse. Easy to use and takes the hassle of using bottles. Great starter kit.

I love directly pumping into storage bags. Eliminates possible germs from transferring from bottle - storage bag- back to a bottle. Easy to use and write a date on. Only issue is my baby didn’t like the nipple for the bottle that the pouches insert into so I couldn’t use that. Still worth it for me even though I don’t use the bottle it comes with.

I use the bags frequently. I love the twist caps; it feels more secure than the zip top ones. I don't really use any other part of the system though.

Included everything needed, convenient, and easy to use. Love being able to pump directly into the storage bags. Definitely worth it!
