How many bottles do you have?

If you bottle feed full time, that is. We have two 4 oz and three 9oz. We just bought two more 9 oz, but I read that she should be getting used to sippy cups soon. So, should I return them? They were 20.00, and while that's not too much, I can certainly find other things to buy for her with it..like sippy cups maybe. What do you think? Thanks.

    I had way too many bottles. We had 22 drop-ins, 1 Avent Tempo, and 1 Gerber bottle.

    We probably have at least 15 sippy cups too.

    I have a ton of bottles.  probably 10 in each size.  My son is 11mths and only drinks water out of a sippy cup during his meals.  Starting next week I will start transitioning him to sippy cups for his daytime bottles.

    I have about 15 evenflo that I can use regularly and then another 10 mixed bottles that were my super super back up (not her favorites but they did the trick). 

    Well, I found that the more I have the lazier I get at washing them so I am limiting my daily rotation to the 4 bottles she drinks every day so that I wash every day.

    Also, only buy one type of sippy at a time.  DD was not picky w bottles but she has been w sippies so I have had to try different ones.  Funny thing, those cheap basic ones worked the best!

    eight 4 oz. and eight 9 oz.

    We started off with 6 of each, and then I went and bought more. In the beginning since they eat so often, we were sometimes washing bottles twice a day! I think 8 or 9 is a good number if you only use bottles.

    I have 4 of the smaller bottles, 4 of the larger.. I have two sippy cups cuz really, he only used one a day... and I haven't transitioned over to giving milk in them yet. I agree with PP about washing.. with the number that I have, I had to wash everyday and they weren't piling up.

    oops...I guess I never answered your question.

    I would keep what you have. You can never tell how long it is going to take them to get used to a sippy cup.

    4 10-oz bottles. I fill them each day plus a 4-oz container to mix w/ oatmeal etc. 5 months old seems early to switch to sippy cups full time but I could def be wrong!

    I have as many as she uses in a day.  I don't want to clean and fill bottles more than once a day.  In our case, this would be 5 large bottles and 4 little ones.

    I have 14 drop ins (4 oz, but they actually are closer to 5 oz) and 6 8 oz drop ins.

    I bought a starter pack, but then several friends gave me their bottles
