breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

I plan on breastfeeding and plan to pump and dump into a bottle (for later use)
so my question is, which bottles do you use?

i registered for breastflow bottles b.c they are most like the breast and nipple...
i also registered for born free bottles..

I used Avent Naturally. They worked for us!

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

Playtex Drop-ins.

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

and you can go back forth between breast and bottle?
was there a stuggle?or somewhat of a seamless transition?

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

I use Avent

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

Born Free since they're BPA free
We tried Playtex Drop-Ins first but DS didn't care for them

Love our Born Free bottles.

Oh - usually the term "pump and dump" is meant when you're getting rid of the milk. Like if you go out and have a few drinks but don't want DC to get that milk - you'll pump and toss it.

I pump into the medela containers, store in lansinoh freezer bags and give it to DS in Born Free bottles.

I gotcha!

I also use born free. But every kid is different, so you should try a couple of different bottles before you invest in a whole bunch. I've heard Adiri feels and looks alot like a mothers breast, and I've also heard great things about Dr. Browns natural flow for relieving gas.

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

I breastfeed exclusively and only pump....I pump into the Medela bottles that the pump came with and then use the Dr. Browns to feed her....its really not that bad.

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

None! DS hated every bottle I tried, he's a boob only baby! lol

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

the cheap little evenflow bottles, that are the same size and shape as the ones the hospital would use.

also, keep in mind with the pumping, if you use the bottles with the smaller nipples (not the wide mouth like the avents) you can screw the bottles directly onto the pump parts. and pump right into a bottle. no need to use extra pieces. (i think there is an adapter ring for the avent tops now, but there wasn't when i started this almost 6 years ago)

Avent. She got a bottle first and then learned to BF. Never had any problem.

Re: breastfeeding moms, what kind of bottle do you use?

I used and still use Born Free Bottles with the Dr Brown nipples. I had DD on DR Brown wide neck, but when the stuff about the BPA came out I switched to Born Free.

DD didn't like the Breastflow bottles, plus they're not BPA free.

I also use Avent and Medela bottles but since DS has colic I try to use the Avent bottles more. Also, my DH does most of the bottle feeding because DS does not like to take a bottle from me since he used to getting the boob. He's only 9 weeks but slick enough to know that he doesn't have to take a bottle from me because I've got the goods.
