We buy the 2oz volufeeds or gradufeeds from MJ. The plastic caps must be bought separately.
These bottles are sterile packed individually & fit on the Ameda/Hollister breast pump.

I'm glad this is being discussed, as I have spent the last two weeks looking
at other options for breast milk storage also.  We have used the sterile
water bottles provided by the formula companies, dumped out the water and
used them for ebm storage.  I was just informed two weeks ago that we are
being charged for the water bottles.   Ross has developed a little package
of 4 two oz. bottles to store milk which you can also purchase.

I have researched ebm freezer bags and have found them to be cheaper by
about $.10 each.  So, we are considering switching to these.  We haven't
made a final decision as yet, and I'm very interested in what other people
are doing.  It's amazing that the formula is supplied free, however the
sterile water bottles (which we've used to store ebm) we now have to
purchase.  I wonder what would happen if we were to dump out the formula and
use these bottles for ebm storage?  Would they start charging for these too?
Just curious...
