New Avent Storage?

I saw an ad in a parenting magazine yesterday for new Avent storage
containers. It doesn't say on the ad anywhere if they are freezable, but it
does compare them to the bags and how inconvenient those bags can be for
storage. It says how you can pump directly into these containers from the
Isis pump and even has an attachment for a nipple if you want to bottle
feed. I wrote the company asking about them (they're not on the website
yet, must be brand spanking new) but figured I'd see if any of you wise
folks had information about them already. I'd love to be able to just pump
into a little tupperware-like container and stick it in the freezer! Those
bags made me crazy!

Thanks,

Jen

they sound exactly like the plastic bottles that came with my Isis kit. I pump
directly into the bottle, and either add a shield or nipple to the ring
depending what I want to do.

I didn't think you could freeze them, but if I can let me know.

I've always frozen the bottles right after pumping, with no discernable
problems. But I'm a SAHM, and didn't pump too often.

you can freeze the 4oz bottles, they sell them in a pack of 4 marketed as
a breastmilk storage kit

These are more of a toss or keep type of product...like the disposable
containers Glad and Ziploc are making now...so they're much more affordable
than buying regular Avent bottles. I didn't need to freeze that much with
Laszlo, but it was nice to know I had a few bottles' worth just in case.
Also once he started with cereal I used my stash from the freezer to moisten
it.

I freeze homemade baby food in those 4-oz.
plastic bottles. They've worked fine so far.

Is this different from the 4-oz. plastic containers with the screw tops?
Those fit on an Avent Isis pump, although I used them mostly to freeze
milk I pumped with a hospital-grade pump. These are freezable.

I have frozen the bottles that attach to the pump. They have screw on
rings and rubber inner bits that expand so the bottle doesnt explode.
Think they were designed for it.

Seems expensive to have to buy a special product to freeze milk in. I used
plastic containers we sell them where I work ( a hospital)and you can buy
them in bulk really cheaply (like tiny round takeaway food type container)
they hold about 150mls...I just sterilised them and poured the milk in
afterI pumped and defrosted them as I needed. Had to use milton though as I
don't think they were microwavable ( I don't microwave anything in plastic
anyway, whether its safe to or not)
