When you need it
Milk storage bags are useful from birth if you pump, especially once you start freezing extra milk for later. They stay handy through about 12 months, or for as long as you are building and using a freezer stash for daycare, work days or date nights.
What to look for
Choose pre-sterilized, BPA-free bags with a double zipper seal and thick side seams, since leaks usually start there. A flat-freeze design stacks neatly in a small freezer and thaws more quickly. Look for a write-on label area with room for the date and amount, so you can use the oldest milk first. Some bags connect directly to your pump, which saves a transfer step and a bottle to wash.
