When I had my first son, I pumped for him for 18 months. Born at 24 weeks, he wasn’t able to breastfeed until he was 12 weeks old. During that time I pumped every two hours so that he could have breast milk through his NG tube. And while I didn’t mind pumping for him, the process of organizing all of my milk was a bit of a disaster. Because he was a terrible breastfeeder, I continued to pump for him for almost a year after he came home. The upside was that he was a very healthy baby, the downside was a million bottles of expressed breast milk(EBM) in my fridge and freezer.
Launching soon, exclusively to BuyBuyBaby, Kiinde has created a system that I would have loved to have 8 years ago. Moms can pump their EBM directly into the recyclable breastmilk storage pouches and then attach a case and nipple directly to that pouch for easy feeding. Genius right?
The Kiinde Twist™ system completely eliminates the need to transfer precious milk from bottles to bags and back again!
Using the included Direct-Pump™ adapters, Twist Pouches™ twist-lock onto pumps from all major brands, for leak-free, transfer-free pumping, directly into the pouch.
After pumping, store and organize Twist Pouches using the Kiinde Keeper™ breastmilk storage bag holder, which fits in all standard fridges and freezers.
The Gift Set($99) also comes with:
- 20 Twist Pouches™, direct-pump, recyclable breastmilk storage pouches.
- 8 Direct-Pump™ adapters (compatible with ALL major pump brands).
- 1 Keeper™ breastmilk storage bag holder.
- 1 Kozii™ breastmilk warmer and bottle warmer.
- 2 Squeeze™ natural feeding bottles.
- 2 Slow flow Active Latch™ nipples with cases
- 2 Nipple cleaning brushes
Starter kit, which is $40, comes with everything above – except the warmer.
For parents who are concerned – all components of the twist system are BPA-FREE, Pthalate-FREE, and PVC-FREE.
This looks so cool! I’m guessing you could still just pour your expressed milk directly into a preferred bottle, right? Surely…
I’m expecting my third boy, have a Medela pump, that I used occasionally with my first, and almost not at all with my second (it had been loaned to my cousin and by the time I got it back my second was really too old and opinionated…wanted NOTHING to do with a bottle). Neither of my boys have really cared much for a bottle, but have done very well at the breast…it would however, be nice to have a tiny bit of freedom to leave my baby with Dad or a grandparent now and then!
Storage has always been an issue too, so add that to the mix, and we end up just keeping mom on a short rope.
