lanisoh milk storage bags

[andthentherewere10]

Twice now when I've thawed a bag of milk, it has leaked (tons of milk into the fridge...not what I need to wake up to on a Monday morning).  I guess they are cracking in the freezer.  I thought the first was a fluke.  Anyone else have this problem?

Yes! I like the Ameda ones. They are small and don't fit a lot, but they are tough and don't leak.

I always stuck mine into a measuring beaker to thaw so that any leaking milk would be contained (and usable!).

If I wasn't careful they would get holes in the freezer. I got a dedicated shoe box and thawed them in a cup and never had another issue.

Only a few times. I dethaw standing up in a tuperwear container.

I switched to Up and Up. Thick and inexpensive!

I used about 5 different brands and everyone has leaked. Now I just stick them in a measuring cup to thaw so I'm not losing any.

I've never had an issue but I always thaw in a bowl just in case.

same here. I only had a couple of leaks but I thawed in a bowl or cup in the fridge just in case.

I've had this happen with medela ones. I always thaw in a bowl now.

Mine stopped leaking when I started freezing them flat and not stacking them until they were already frozen. If I stacked while they were liquid they seemed to leak.

Well, fudge. I was going to switch to these after I used up my Kiinde ones (they're expensive and harder to store).

I haven't had any leaks if it makes you feel better! I thaw in a Tupperware just in case, and freeze flat individually.

I haven't had any leaks either.

I had really good luck with Up and Up and Ameda bags. The Up and Up hold more and lay much flatter, but I got Ameda for free from insurance.

I'd lay them flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer until they were frozen solid then I'd move them to plastic shoe boxes.

For defrosting I always put them in a Tupperware, but I never had either leak on me.

I never had a medela bag leak, but one of my friends had a ton of problems with them. (And she SAH, so I doubt she even used that many.)

[lilac05]

I only had it happen once or twice. I always thawed in a container of some sort so I would avoid a mess if there was a leak.

I froze flat on a cookie sheet, then stored them upright. I think the corners are pretty sensitive, so try not to knock them around when frozen.

[pinotgrig]

No leaks here, though granted we haven't thawed much of it yet.
