Milkies Milk-Saver: Let NO Breast Milk Go To Waste!
Ask any mom and she’ll tell you: breast milk is a precious commodity. Women will go to great lengths to ensure that not a drop of “liquid gold” gets wasted.
That’s precisely what makes the award-winning Milkies Milk-Saver such a wonderful invention for breastfeeding mothers. The patented Milk-Saver collects your leaking breast milk as you nurse or pump – allowing you to store extra breast milk effortlessly with each feeding.
Easy to use, simply slip the Milk-Saver into your bra-cup on the non-nursing side before you breastfeed. The Milk-Saver collects the milk that is leaked when your breast milk lets down. Once you’ve finished your breastfeeding session, simply transfer the collected milk into storage containers and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to feed your baby at a later time.
Slim, durable, and portable, the patented Milk-Saver is comfortable to wear, holds a little more than 2 ounces of breast milk, and includes a protective lid to prevent milk from spilling out of the Milk-Saver during normal use. And with its stylish, durable case, your Milk-Saver will stay safe and clean when you’re on the go.
Like you, we care very much about the safety of the products we use while breastfeeding. The Milk-Saver has been rigorously tested to ensure zero chemical leaching and contains no BPA or phthalates, and it is silicone-free.
The only product of its type, the Milk-Saver has received accolades from lactation specialists, pediatricians, and breastfeeding moms the world over. It makes the perfect baby shower/new mom gift – or as a treat for yourself!

FAQ
Here’s our list of most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed or you need further clarification, please contact us directly.
How should I clean the Milk-Saver?
We recommend that you use hot soapy water, boil, or run it through the top rack of the dishwasher. It is not recommended that you steam the Milk-Saver.
How many times can I use the Milk-Saver?
The Milk-Saver is reusable, therefore, you can use it as often and as long as you need.
Does it just come with one Milk-Saver?
The Milkies Milk-Saver comes with one Milk-Saver. It is to be worn on the non-nursing side during the breastfeeding/pumping session to collect any leaking milk.
How much milk will the Milk Saver hold?
The Milk-Saver holds over 2 ounces of milk.
Can you use the Milk-Saver beyond the feeding session to collect milk in place of a nursing pad?
You can certainly use it when you are not feeding instead of nursing pads, though note that they are larger than nursing pads, and therefore, not as discreet. Another thing to consider is that the “lid” that comes with it won’t prevent all the milk from spilling out if you do bend forward.
Will all breast/nipple sizes fit into the Milk-Saver?
The Milk-Saver was designed for most breast/nipple sizes. The diameter for the nipple opening is one inch.

If you leak significantly during let-down, I definitely think this is a must-have. Now that my supply has regulated I find that I collect far less with it than I used to, but it’s still worth it. However, I wish it didn’t have an embossed logo printed on the side that touches your breast- this product already sits on my breast so tightly that it leaves a mark around my areola (which fades shortly after removal), and the logo then gets imprinted on my breast as well. I also wonder if the top couldn’t be a bit better sealed, so that you wouldn’t lose quite so much milk if you forget you’re wearing it and put the baby in a crib or bend over for whatever other reason…

Thank you for your feedback on Milk Saver, Jean. Your ideas are good ones and much appreciated, and we’re continually trying to improve the product. Most recently, we added the lid to prevent spilling when leaning over. While it isn’t a perfect seal (which would have come with several drawbacks), it is a strong deterrent to leakage. Your point regarding the logo placement is right on as well. Thanks again!

This little thing is a lifesaver. I built a small supply my first two weeks after my baby was born just by collecting the milk I leaked on the side my daughter wasn’t nursing. It was also incredibly helpful when one flange of my pump kit broke and I could only pump on one side. It such a simple but helpful breastfeeding tool. I can not recommend this enough.

I wanted to love this, and I do to a certain extent. It saves the foremilk that comes during let down while I breastfeed, but not the nutrient rich milk. I guess anything is better than nothing. I’ve been adding it to the milk I pump so it isn’t wasted, but I don’t trust using just the foremilk for a feeding. Overall it does it’s job and is useful.

I’ve been able to build a huge milk supply in my deep freezer just by using the milk saver every time I breastfeed or pump. I collect between 2-4 oz per session. It’s so easy to slip it in my bra. It never leaks and is comfortable. There are other brands that use suction to catch the leakage but the suction hurt my sore breasts and also it got in the way of my sons feet. He kicks it off or the suction comes loose and it spills! I can’t recommend the milk saver any higher! Must get!

It’s crazy to think of all the milk I leaked (and wasted) with my first son 3 years ago. My milk saver arrived on the same day my milk came in with this birth, funnily enough, and in 4 days I’ve saved over 30 ounces of milk already! It’s kind of shocking. What an ingenious product 👌

I got the product cause it interested me as I do leak a lot in general. When I first got the product and looked at it wasn’t crazy about it, I think mostly cause the look of it. But it’s actually really nice! It’s comfortable to wear and works very well as there’s not much mechanics to it. But yeah! Definitely recommend! Was worth the little extra to ship to Canada!

So happy to have this! I was able to have a nice sized stash before going back to work and even now can easily replenish it. No having to hook up to a machine, just tuck it in your bra and let your body do the work. Wish I had this with my first, I’m still sad at all the wasted milk! I have been recommending it to every friend that’s expecting.
