Breast milk freezer bags make it possible for moms to continue breastfeeding even when they are no longer able to be with their babies all day long to nurse on demand.
This is important because breast milk has been aptly called "liquid gold" by mothers who work hard to produce it for their precious newborns.
Breast milk is best for your baby for many reasons.
First, it contains all the nutrients baby needs in those vital first 6 months of life and scientific studies have continually proved that babies who are exclusively breastfed during this period thrive better than those who are not.
Second, breast milk is an incredible immune booster and will protect baby against many diseases that range from respiratory illnesses such as asthma and pneumonia, ear infections, stomach upsets and even meningitis.
When moms need to head back to work, they may choose to pump breast milk for their hungry babies to take while they are away.
