I've been using Lansinoh ones up to now but they often seem to get holes in and leak. Are there any that are better?

I used Boots ones though both of my babies, never had an issue with leaking.

Don't overfill
Buy cheap ones (hone bargains or tesco?) and double bag!
I put say 4 bags into a Tupperware box to protect them from knocks in freezer

That's a good idea sleepdodger. I hadn't even thought of other things in the freezer causing the bags to tear! Doh Confused

i use reusable bottles - fit straight onto pump
can be washed, sterilised and reused - cost less than £1 a bottle and no risk of leaks.
got mine off ebay

I came on to say Lansinoh - never leaked - I let all the air out and put them on a specific shelf.

I had this problem and tried several types of bags, in the end I decided the trick was to be really careful with them, especially once frozen!!

I came on to say Lansinoh too!

I kept mine in a plastic tub in the freezer to protect them and never had any leaks.

No lid just stopped them sliding around and getting damaged.

Plastic tub/tupperware sounds like a good solution, or double bagging. I will try both. I wish I could be careful but we have quite a small freezer, which we share with our lodger too, so even though I try to keep a designated area for milk they do get knocked about by other stuff. Reusable bottles won't work as they'd take up too much space. I like the fact that the bags store flat.

Ahh your last sentence re storing them flat is the issue, need to be upright I think?
