Are milk savers worth it?

If you struggle with supply or you’re concerned with not having a big enough freezer stash, Milkies Milk-Saver could be a helpful product for you. If you have plenty of milk or don’t leak much from the non-nursing side or you don’t save breast milk at all, you probably don’t need a Milk-Saver.
