For those using the Medela breastpump...

Are you going to use the medela bottles or another kind?  I've heard that Playtex BPA free drop-in bottles are the best to use so I'm not sure which I should use.  Any thoughts or recommendations would be great!

TIA!

    Whatever you choose, don't buy too many. We went through 4 types (Dr. Browns, Avent, Soothie, and one other) before we settled on one. Usually we just pop a nipple on the Medela bottle that the milk was pumped directly into though.

    We're hoping to use Avent (we have some Born Free as well), but we'll see what she likes... we only have a couple for now. I just won't pump into bottles.

    I'll be using the Medela pump and also the Playtex bottles with drop-ins.  That's what we did with DD#1 and it worked out great.

    Our BF class instructor advised us not to use the medela bottles because the nipples are too small and don't simulate real nipples well.  We're using the playtex drop ins.

    Things I did different with this pregnancy:
    1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
    2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
    3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
    4. Daily lovenox injections
