More on bottles....I'm confused....
I was planning on using Avent and even have a few already. I am also planning on BF and have a Medela pump. I am a little overwhelmed today looking online. I see Medela has silicone nipples...Should I buy those to go with the Medela bottles that screw onto the pump? Or should I pump and then transfer to the Avent bottles?
It's bad enough I am not being told that she shouldn't have a bottle for three weeks if I am BF to avoid nipple confusion?

Thank you! This helps....after your post on the Born Free bottles, I read it in two different mags and now I might be reconsidering. However, they did say the Avent drop-ins were okay.

After my post I reconsidered also! I don't know what to do, what bottles to use. I registered for the medela bags for now (to pump directly into the bag) since I'd probably be storing the milk anyway. Then I'll just defrost and pour into whatever bottle I decide to use.

That was my other undecided thing, the bags. They seem like a great idea! Ugh...

This is utterly confusing!! I'm hoping the lactation specialist in the hospital can shed some light on this. I don't plan on pumping for a while anyway, so I have time to get new stuff if needed.

Re: More on bottles....I'm confused....
To make my life easier (and you will need to if you are BF!!!), I pumo in the containers that came with the PIS pump I have. Then I transfer to storage containers/bottles if I need to BF soon/freezer bags.
ETA: I use Dr. Browns wide neck bottles.

I think I will end up doing this...I can't seem to come to another decision and I already have the Avent bottles unless I decide to take them back.
