Product Review Mondays - Milkies Milk Saver

I'm going to try and write a weekly review of a baby product for all those new or renewed Moms out there (like myself). Followers of this blog know that I have a teenage daughter so when it came time for me to prepare for an infant I had no idea about all the new maternity and baby products on the market. Please be advised I am not an expert nor am I being paid for this review this is simply my personal opinion of particular products that I use on a regular basis. I encourage you to try different products and formulate your own opinion.





Today's product is Milkies Milk-Saver which is designed to fit into your bra or nursing tank to collect breast milk from one breast while you nurse from the other. It has been over a decade since I attempted to breast feed so I had no idea that while feeding a baby from one breast your other breast is likely to leak milk as well. The first time I saw this product online I was skeptical because it looked uncomfortable and I did not think it was worth the almost thirty dollar price tag. One day Zulily had a sale on the Milk Saver offering it for $17 so at that price I decided to give it a try. It turns out I was terribly wrong, this product is worth the price tag sale or no sale. When my breast milk first came in I would lose at least an ounce during each feeding but I figured that was just something that I had to deal with and move on, well this product has changed all of that. It fits comfortably in my bra so much so that I have forgotten that I had it on. I keep it right by my bed so it is within easy reach for those middle of the night feedings. The very first time I used it I collected almost an ounce of milk. Throughout the night and early morning I collect enough milk so that my husband can do the 10:00am feeding and I am able to sleep in. It is easy to clean and comes with a convenient travel case. If you are serious about breast feeding this is certainly worth the money.
