Can you pump directly into a storage bag with this system?

No. The system hooks up directly to the bottle. I have been pumping into the bottle and then dumping that into a storage bag.

One way only, Patrice. You can use it to suck the air out of those storage bags but it won't inflate an inner tube.

Yes! There are 2 plastic adapters that come in the box. The bag then attaches to the adapters and the adapters attach to the pump!

There is a funnel sort of attachment (bottom left of image) that connects to the pump and the bag hands off of the funnel from the hooks. I never used it though because I was afraid of spilling.

Yes they do. Real simple and easy to do and I love mine. You get the bags at Walmart, which I hate, so O ordered a bunch off of Amazon awhile back. The manual hand pump is great, easy to clean, and store it. WORKS GREAT!!!!!!!

I believe you can. Air does go out of it. I haven't used it like that but I can't see why you couldn't. As long as the handheld pump has the right adapter. I hope this helps.

yes, make sure you get the needle that you attach to the pump so you can insert it the balls to fill with air.

This site has protocols for milk storage: http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/ It notes that you can combine milk from different pumping sessions, but you should cool the new milk first. So I would say probably don't reattach the bag, but I do pump into a different container (the bottle that comes with my pump tends to give more accurate measurements anyway), cool that, and combine to save bags. Note also that if you do combine, you should treat the milk as if it were all from the earliest date, for freshness. I hope that helps!

I don't see why you couldn't do that. Gravity will carry the waste to the pump which actually pushes the waste out the discharge hose. Probably want to use a short between the tank and the pump.

Nope. But why would you want to if you have water for a hose?? Just run your hose to the container the pump is in and set it to fill at the same rate your using it.

I'm not sure about the attachment that allows you to pump right into a bag but you cn use the bottles... tubes and cups are a different style.

I guess it depends on your pumping machine. If they fit then yes you can. I had the medela one and i pumped directly to their bottle and then store it in the Dr Browns bottles. I found it easier this way since the medela bottles are the right ones for that machine but also to be sure that i did not mess with the pumping process.

Yes you can pump into a bottle then transfer the milk to the bag. That's how I did it bc I the adapter did not work well at all with my pump (Phillips avent)

I don't pump directly into these or any bags. I pump into bottles and then pour them into these bags. I absolutely recommend these bags and use them exclusively. Never any problems with leaking.

No. The output of the pump is heavy and a larger container is needed. I used a large cooler for one and have used a medium storage container from Wal Mart, the kind the sell during the holidays for packing up holiday decorations. Good system otherwise.

Yes, but it easier and more convienent to use the lansinoh breast milk storage bags. The bags work well and can thaw faster(in a cup of warm water) when you need to quickly get a bottle ready. And also they take up less space. But we do have tons of these storage bottles as well to use for pumpkng

Yes you can. Just put the adapter that came with this unit on the bottom and connect the plastic hose. I don't know if you will achieve as good a vacuum as you would with one of the regular bag sealing units but it can be done. I can get pretty good results with other plastic container food saver units using this small sealer. The best answer is to go ahead and give it a try and if it works for you, do it.
