I bought a couple of each brand but my FAVORITE one that I hope she likes is the adiri natural nurser... https://www.adiri.com/ Everything I have read about them I like!!
We got a pack of glass Evenflo bottles. I am planning to BF, but for those times when I need to pump it, we figured we should have some on hand. I know they make the plastic ones BPA free now, but I still worry that there are other non-regulated chemicals in the plastic ones and I feel better using glass.
I plan on bfing for the most part. I have a couple bottles on hand, but really waiting to see what DS prefers before I go buy a bunch of bottles (and they'd only be used for times when I've pumped and say DH or my mom would need to feed him)

With DS, we HAD to use Dr.Brown's due to his reflux and gas. I hated them though because of all the parts. Eventually we used Playtex drop ins and I loved the convenience of those. Hope we can use those from day one this time.
I have some Doc Browns, some Born Frees, and a few Playex drop-ins. I plan to EBF, so I won't be using them for the first few weeks. (I'll wait until DH is done with school before asking him to do the late-night feedings.)
I plan to nurse full time. If I can't be with DD, we have avent bottles.

I was told Avent are great for mostly BF moms, so that's what I got. I had originally wanted Dr Browns, but they didn't have the small sizes in the wide nipple, and that's when I heard about Avent. Also - Dr. Browns have a ton of extra peices, I was told that if your baby isn't particularly colicky, why spend the extra time cleaning?
I will have to use whatever the hospital provides that works with preemies. DS used playtex nursers, with drop ins. I may switch to that once able to. Depends on how LO does.
I'm going to try Born Free. With my DD I used Dr. Browns and they worked great for getting out the air bubbles but they have a few annoying parts and leaked everywhere for me. Some people swear by them though.

Mostly BF but I bought a few Medelas just in case I have to pump. DD#1 was formula fed & I tried them all...her favorite (& luckily the cheapest) were the Gerber ones. If I end up using bottles a lot, I'll probably buy Gerber again.

Nuby Natural Touch are my favorite - they're designed specifically for breastfed babies. But I'm only going to open one box and if Ryan doesn't like it, I'll move on to try Avent or Playtex... It's more Ryan's decision.
We plan on the drop in kind. DH will be splitting feedings with me, and those are the kind we got at the shower. Not that we have a pump yet, but we will. We have absolutely agreed to split feedings 50/50, even if that means I am pumping right before he feeds her. Sure it's an extra step, but it's very important to him that he participates in the feeding.
Re: What bottles will you be using for your baby??
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
I know they make the plastic ones BPA free now, but I still worry that there are other non-regulated chemicals in the plastic ones and I feel better using glass.
One of my good friends swears by these!

We'll try Medela and see how they work. I'm going to breastfeed but will pump so my hubby can feed her too!
They are so cool!!
