Baby Giveaway #4 — MilkBank’s Storage System

THE PRIZE

milkbank breast milk storage system

One lucky mommy will win MilkBank’s breast milk storage system that helps keep breast milk fresh and nutritious for your baby.

MY REVIEW

I am a huge advocate of breast feeding, as there are so many advantages for both baby and mom. Breastfeeding is my sole weight loss plan after having a baby! Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of some types of breast cancer. The list could go on and on and on…

For those occasional times when you can’t be there to nurse your baby, pumps are great. But have you ever wondered about the quality of pumped breast milk? From the MilkBank website, I learned some interesting facts about breast milk:

  • Fresh breast milk is the most nutritious for your baby.
  • Clinical tests show that any level of oxygen exposure begins to spoil breast milk.
  • Traditional storage methods, such as bags and bottles, trap harmful oxygen when sealed. This exposure to oxygen not only impacts the nutritional value, but can also distort the flavor, causing babies to reject stored breast milk.

With the MilkBank vacuum and storage bottles you can suck out any excess oxygen to keep your breast milk fresh and nutritious for your baby. Simply place the vacuum on top of the storage bottle and pull up a few times. You can feel the vacuum suction working, and when you open the bottle, you can feel the bottle slightly expand from letting in oxygen.

In the package, you get

  • 1-vacuum pump
  • 3 – storage caps
  • 1- 2.5 oz storage/feeding bottle,
  • 2 – 5 oz storage/feeding bottles,
  • 1 – outer insulated bottle with Stage 1 nipple

The bottles are triple vented and provide continuous milk flow to prevent air from getting into baby’s tummy. And they’re safe to send through the dishwasher.

Since breast milk is a babies sole source of nutrition, it’s important to keep it fresh, and the MilkBank breast milk storage system makes that possible. Thanks, MilkBank!
