Quick Answer

Attach the Ameda Standard Milk Storage Bag Adapter to your pump flange, then insert the open edge of a milk storage bag over the adapter to pump directly into the bag without spills.

Why Use a Milk Storage Bag Adapter?

Pumping directly into a storage bag saves time and reduces the risk of transferring milk between containers. The adapter creates a secure seal between your pump and the bag, so you can skip the extra bottles and washing.

The adapter works with standard milk storage bags, not just Ameda brand bags. This gives you flexibility if you prefer a particular bag style or have leftover bags from another brand.

Step-by-Step: Using Ameda Milk Storage Bag Adapters

  1. Wash and dry your hands and equipment: Clean your pump flange and the adapter with warm soapy water or follow your pump's sterilization instructions. Dry everything completely before use. Moisture can affect the seal, so ensure all parts are fully dry.
  2. Attach the adapter to your pump flange: Push the adapter firmly onto the flange opening. Make sure it sits snugly and evenly to create a proper seal. If the adapter is loose, it may leak—check the fit before pumping.
  3. Open a milk storage bag and slide it over the adapter: Hold the bag open and gently pull the top edge over the adapter, covering the rim completely. The bag should fit snugly without gaps. Avoid overstretching the bag, which can cause tears or leaks.
  4. Pump directly into the bag: Start your pump session. The milk will flow directly into the bag. Keep the bag upright and supported to prevent tipping. Check the bag periodically to ensure it isn't overfilled—leave room for expansion and sealing.
  5. Remove the bag and seal it: After pumping, carefully detach the bag from the adapter, pressing the top edges together to seal. If your bag has a zip closure, close it securely. Always double-check the seal before storing to prevent leaks in the fridge or freezer.
