Snappies Containers

Snappies all-in-one breast milk container system designed for purpose

Snappies breast milk containers were designed with input from lactation consultants to support the nutritional requirements of premature infants in their critical, early months. The containers range in volume from 11 mL to 2.3 oz., to scale with mother’s milk production, and feature a unique flip-top design that enables collection, storage and feeding all from the same bottle. Since introduction in the early 2000’s, Snappies have been embraced by mothers and lactation consultants alike and are used in hospitals and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU’s) across the country.
