Breast Pump/Bottle Question

Does anyone know if I can use Tommee Tippee bottles with a Medela Swing pump?

do you mean hook up the bottles to the pump flanges to hold the milk? i highly doubt it.  i had a Medela pump and just used the bottles it came with.  i kept those in the fridge and then just poured that into the Playtex we used too feed him.

 That makes sense. I was wondering if they for some reason were able to be hooked up to the pump, but pumping into the Medela bottles and transferring later isn't a big deal. Thanks!

I used dr.brown's the first time and they fit right into it and this time I'm using Avent bottles (less parts) and you have to buy a connector that makes them fit. I would just goggle it and see what it says that should give you your answer.

I got a medela PISA for this time around and have Born Free bottles. I doubt I'll be able to just hook the bottle up to it. No biggie. Just pour one into the other.

This. I know some brands have the connector, not all, so it depends. i'll probably just pump into the Medela bottles and then transfer to storage bags or directly to the other bottle because they are smaller than the Born Free bottles we are going to use.
