Can you Pump Directly into Breast Milk Storage Bags with Spectra Motif Hygeia and Lansinoh Bag Adapter?
Moms who store breastmilk in the freezer know that breast milk storage bags are the most space saving efficient way to stockpile your breastmilk. But did you know that pumping into bottles and then transferring the milk to storage bags looses some of the fat meant for your baby?
Small amounts of fat cling to the side of the bottle and never make it to the storage bags. The more times you transfer your breast milk from one container to the other causes more and more of the healthy fat to be lost.
The solution is pumping directly into the breast milk storage bags. But how do you pump into storage bags such as Spectra? While there may be hacks to rig your bag to your pump, they are not worth crying over spilled milk. The most secure way we have found is a breast milk storage bag adapter. It works with popular wide mouth breast flanges such as Spectra, Motif Duo, Motif Luna and Ameda Mya. It attaches very well to common breast milk storage bags like Lansinoh and Nuk and works great with our best selling breast milk storage bags such as the Hygeia Milkies, Motif Breastmilk Storage Bags and Spectra Breast Milk Storage Bags. For the purposes of this blog, we tested the compatibility and the security of the adapter to the flanges and the bags mentioned.
Motif Breastmilk Bags go on easily. The clasp grips right below the zipper holding your the bag in place securely as shown.

The Hygiea Milkies Breast Milk Storage Bags have a flap. So after tearing off the perforated top, fold down the flaop and then insert the bag adapter into the bag. The grips should be just below the zipper line for security. Lansinoh and Nuk have a similar flap and work much the same way.
Pumping into the Spectra Breast Milk Storage Bags work much like the Motif Breastmilk Bags. After opening the bag, insert the adapter into the bag and make sure that the spring-hinge grips the bag firmly just below the zipper line. You can even give it a tug before you start pumping just to make sure that you have attached it properly.
It is nice when a product makes it easier for moms to pump and store their breast milk. Kudos to MayMom for the design of this breast pump storage bag adapter!
Here is to direct pumping!
