Great item to go along with my pump,
Comes with the medela bags so you get a “feel” for them before you decide to buy and use them or not. I prefer the Lansinoh bags because they are easier to seal and hold more. Only plus to Medela bags are that they can be attached to pump. Downside is you really shouldn’t put more than 4 1/2 oz. in them because the seal isn’t great and the milk expands during freezing causing spillage. Also, once my milk came in, I was pumping 5 oz. or more per breast so I had to keep checking the bags while I pumped to make sure I didn’t overfill. (Ended up buying some cheap 8 oz. Gerber bottles to pump into and so I wouldn’t have to worry about overfilling and I just pour into bags to freeze once I am done.) Good deal since three 4 oz. bottles are about $17+ tax alone. I was going to buy the bulk pack of the 2 oz. storage bottles but now am glad that I didn’t. The six are enough and I am not needing them now. We were having latching problems so they were useful, but now that we’ve got bf down, I hardly use them. Also, once baby gets older, you’ll be feeding lots more than 2 oz. at a time. Might be useful again once I get back to work though. Also good to get the bottle spare parts when you purchase this because all those little pieces tend to get misplaced/lost. Pump will attach to both bottle and 2 oz. bottles and you can feed straight out of 2 oz. bottle also.

Nipples flow WAY too fast!,
I have mixed feelings on this set. I love the storage bottles and the bags (haven’t used any other brands for the bags yet, so I may change my mind when I get a cheaper version as the bags are pretty expensive on their own). But the actual bottles I am not a huge fan of…more not a fan of the nipples. The milk flows WAY too fast out of them! It pours into my baby’s mouth without her having to suck or latch onto it at all. There have been many times she has choked on the milk because she wasn’t quite ready to start drinking it yet and it poured into her mouth and down her throat. They say they are “slow flow”, but I don’t believe it! I am trying to figure out which type of bottles to switch to since the nipples don’t work for us at all. Other than that, its a good starter set for the price, especially since I am unable to pump anymore than an ounce or so at a time.

Did not receive the correct product.,
First off, I am a fan of all portions of this set and use this brand exclusively for feeding and pumping. I ordered this to supplement my current stash. Unfortunately, the version of the nipples was the old, narrow-base style with the yellow caps instead of the newer, wide-base style with clear caps shown in the picture. I am returning the set (unopened) because I don’t want to introduce my son to a new type of nipple. I purchased my set from accesoriesforu.
