According to the
manufacturer Dex Products, MilkBank delivers the freshest breast milk
possible, and fresh breast milk is the most nutritious for your baby.
Clinical tests show that any level of oxygen exposure begins to spoil
breast milk. For best nutrition, freshly pumped breast milk should be
fed immediately or stored in MilkBank's vacuum-sealed storage bottles
for later feeding. Traditional storage methods, such as bags and
bottles, trap harmful oxygen when sealed. This exposure to oxygen not
only impacts the nutritional value, but can also distort the flavor,
causing babies to reject stored breast milk.
The MilkBank Starter
Kit includes: 1-vacuum pump, 3- storage caps, 1- 2.5 oz storage/feeding
bottle,2 - 5 oz storage/feeding bottles,1 - outer insulated bottle with
Stage 1 nipple & 3-pack bottles and caps.

"The MilkBank Vacuum Storage System
is extremely easy to use." That was the first of
many positive quotes we heard from our breastfeeding
Moms. Our Moms poured pumped breastmilk into the
MilkBank storage containers and then easily vacuum
pumped out the oxygen. The storage containers can
then be easily used with or without the MilkBank's
insulated, leak-proof feeding bottle. Each
component seamlessly works together to help Moms achieve
the goal - the freshest breastmilk for their babies.
To put it simply - our Moms all thought this was a
super-easy system to use! |

All of our parents found no cause
for concern in the durability department. But even
more important with a baby bottle and storage system for
our parents was "clean-ability". And let's just
say all of our Moms and Dads were thrilled! First
off, all components clean easily with warm soap and
water - or however you choose to clean and disinfect
your bottle parts. But here is the real kicker -
there are less parts to clean! And don't think
that was a small point for our parents - it was huge!
Nobody likes having to clean baby bottles, and with the
MilkBank you are cleaning less components. Well
done! |

MilkBank is designed well and has a
clean, modern look. The orange caps are bright and
cheery. MilkBank is as visually appealing as a
baby bottle system can be. |

|
MilkBank is clinically tested and
proven to provide the freshest breastmilk by removing
oxygen. Our Moms and Dads aren't scientists - and
they don't test for that. So assuming the system
works as the testing has proven, our parents strictly
look at how the components work. And they work
together well! Our Moms and Dads loved how the
storage/feeding bottle connects to the vacuum storage
cap, that connects to the vacuum pump. After
vacuuming, use the storage/feeding bottle with a vented
top or with the insulated feeding bottle. It all
works together - and it all just flat out works.
And for our parents - that is all the functionality they
can ask for. |

In a blind survey our parents priced
the MilkBank between $20 and $30. With an actual
retail price of just under $25 the group was right on.
Our Moms and Dads expected the system to cost a few
dollars, after all, it incorporates a lot of different
pieces. And they were all please to find out the
actual pricing was right in line with what they were
hoping for. |

There are a variety of storage
options out there for breastmilk, so that isn't exactly
a brand new industry. However, MilkBank takes the
idea of breastmilk storage to a whole new level.
They've researched the topic. They studies the
nutritional value of stored breastmilk. And they
figured out ways to make sure the breastmilk Moms pump
and store for their children is as healthy as possible.
Put that all together and you've got a smart spin on a
smart idea. And our Moms and Dads approved! |
|
|
Overall, MilkBank was a hit with
our Moms and Dads. First off - it's priced
right (and in most cases that is one of the most
important factors). Next - the system all
works very well together. And finally - it's
made to last. Add it all up and you've got a
system for storing milk that comes extremely highly
recommended from our Mom and Dad review team! |
