Hi Lois,
We were thinking of going to the Medela 80 ml containers as well, but as the
bags were supposedly less expensive, had been considering them as well.  Can
you tell me what you did not like about the bags?  We were told that Ross
will not be supplying these also, but the MJ rep said they would.
Personally I would like to get away from all reliance on formula companies
ethically, and as we move more toward a more baby-friendly status.
Thanks,
~Linda Duce RN CNM Austin, TX

Dear Friends, What about getting the Medela 80cc collection containers
instead of Volu-feeders. I have since I came here gotten rid of the caps
from the formula company with their name on them and used the Medela Caps
which were quite a bit cheaper. We have a 46 bed NICU and are building a
Childrens Hospital. I was planning to go with Medela volu-type containers as
next project but my hand may be forced if the formula company is not going
to supply theirs as I"ve heard there not. Any one know if this is true. One
advantage for getting the Medela collection containers is that they come
with the lids and can be purchased already sterile, saving a step. Please
send me information you can. right now I am trying to get rid of the "BAGS".
for Moms.
