Many years ago, before Logan was even one I heard on the radio that the corners of milk bags are one of the most dangerous things for a child to choke on. That once they are inhaled into their throat it gets stuck like a cone on the sides of the little ones throat (like a piece of balloon). And people cut the corners and often dont even know where they end up

ANyways, after hearing that I am always so cafeful about milk bags and thought I would share the random fact..... and if you think I am a freak please ignore me!!!

Sounds very believable (and scary!). Our milk comes in gallon jugs here, but I know my grandma gets hers in plastic bags.

[ardisbaby]

ignorant American here! I was totally confused until I read Kris' response, duh-what else would a milk bag be but a bag that's filled with milk!?

[~Kris~]

^^I was SO confused the first time my grandma asked me to go grab a bag of milk from the fridge in the garage when they first started getting it like that.

[irish luck]

do u not get milk bags? I'll take a picture of mine lol

[ardisbaby]

Please do, I want to see!
I bet that would keep DH from drinking straight from the container, lol!

[Meggie26]

I was confused as well.. I was totally thinking of the tiny little bags that breastmilk is stored in! Haha.. I'd love to see a picture too! We get our milk, by the gallon, in a jug.

[irish luck]

This is the outside bag


there are 3 bags like this in the large bag


and we put in something like this, cut the corner off and pour

dont mind the mess on the table!

I will say I have never taken a picture of my milk before, lol!

[J9+J+C=Complete]

I have never seen or heard of a milk bag before!!!!!! Very interesting! Yup mine is a plastic gallon jug

[~Kris~]

That's exaclty how my grandma's milk is-except the labeling is on each bag and is sold by each bag.

I like it because there is SO much less waste than the jugs.

I get my milk in bags Callie

Kris, the bags make good freezer bags too
Jen, doesnt it seem like we are so far away sometimes? yet we are not much more than a hour to the border

I was sooo confused! I was certain you were talking about a breastfeeding storage bag because I have NEVER heard of a milk bag. Lol we have jugs here.

[irish luck]

and i even referred to myself as a freak in the opening thread..... I didn't know that so many of you really would think i was crazy! lol!

[BAM]

What's funny is I was having a discussion like this with some other friends on another forum about milk bags and they all swore I had 3 heads because they do not have milk bags in the states. I showed them a picture and they thought it was nasty, like it would be nasty to drink milk out of a plastic bag. What's funny is the jugs of milk down in the states are made of plastic too so what's the difference?

Ditto! Although now seeing the picture in my junior year of high school we lived in Bolivia and the milk came in bags there!+
