The Pump In Style includes an insulated chamber with zipper enclosure. The section stores up to 20-ounces of breast milk. 3-rectangular cooling packs keep the breast milk cold for hours and are great storage containers. Medela includes 20-CSF collection bags for storing, which comes separately. They feature measurement indicators in both milliliters, and ounces. Labels are included additionally, so the date can be recorded. You should not stock full bags in the insulated section as it has the potential for making a gigantic mess. They should go right to the freezer or the refrigerator. I didn't like the twist tie assembly, so I use them for storing frozen breast milk. The containment bags are tough and they freeze well; however, I had a difficult time propping them up so they won't fall.
Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer, depending on your needs. Freshly expressed milk may stand at room temperature for up to 4-hours. It is always advised to keep fresh breast milk refrigerated. Breast milk will stay good in the refrigerator for up to a week. You may store expressed milk in a self-contained freezer for up to 4-months, and up to 1-year in a deep freezer. You can defrost it in the refrigerator, in a bottle warmer, or at the tap. Never re-freeze thawed breast milk.
Transportable
The Medela Pump In Style is a working moms dream. One can pump between meetings, and store in the refrigerator, or in the included insulator. Altogether, the whole unit weighs 7-lbs. This isn't heavy, but when filled with 3-frozen ice packs, and 4-full bottles it can weigh up to 12 pounds. The battery pack is great for on-the-go pumping, but it goes through batteries quickly, so I didn't utilize it much. Oh, and the lighter adapter is readily available for an additional fee. I would have definitely invested in this had I known about it.
In evaluating this breast pump, there are so many positives, although it is actually difficult for me to find negatives. Therefore, I believe the benefits outweigh any undesirable points. If asked to present a con, I would suggest the following. On occasion, breast milk will leak into the tubing. This is not a huge problem. If dried breast milk is discovered in the tubes, then disinfect them by boiling in a pan of water. Set the tubing to dry. So I learned it best to sit up straight when pumping. For me, the pump was a way for me to offer my son breast milk on my busy schedule, so I surely suggest it!
