Price: $27.00
For any breastfeeding mom, I highly recommend Milkies Milk Saver. It is a fairly simplistic silicone container that slips into your bra. You put it on the side you are not nursing on. As you nurse, breast milk collects in the container. I have used it for one day and have already collected 4 ounces that would have otherwise ended up in a breast pad and eventually in the garbage.
I spent 14 months nursing Molly and I had absolutely no idea that one leaks that much milk. Using the Milk Saver will definitely increase the amount of milk I am able to save which will be a huge comfort when baby Emma goes to daycare.
The Milk Saver is available on Amazon for approximately $27.00. https://www.amazon.com/Milkies-Milk-Saver-Breast-Collector-Storage. Although it is fairly price, I believe it is worth every penny if I can collect an extra feeding each day without having to be attached to the pump. It also comes with a storage container that has a slot to help stand up the milk saver so it does not spill. Now some of the reviewers on Amazon indicated that they found it less useful after the first couple weeks of nursing. I will let you know how it goes.
Tip: I keep a spare bottle in the fridge. I collect approximately an ounce each nursing session. I pour the collected milk into the bottle. Once the bottle has three ounces, I pour it into a breast milk storage bag and put it in the freezer.
Tip: This is not something you wear throughout the day. I only insert it in my bra when nursing and remove it immediately after. One of the complaints is that if you lean over, it spills. I find that if I remove it (and stand it up in its storage container) before I stand up with the baby, it doesn't spill.
