  • Not that many, but everyone wants to give me their old bottles so i have a bunch of different types. Dr. Browns, Avent, Born Free...I'll have a nice selection to see what the boys like.

  • I have 19. 4 4oz and 15 8oz. Don't commit to any bottle until they are here. We started with Playtex and had to switch to Dr. Brown.

  • We had 20 of the 4oz bottles and now we have 12 of the 8oz bottles. That is a LOT of bottles!

  • we have 18 bottles... for back when they had 8 bottles/day, 2 bottles each + one more set.  Some of them are smaller ones that we don't use anymore so i'd say we have 12 active bottles.

    sippy cups? another story - we probably have about 30 of them for ONE child.  I'm going to do a purge soon- so when the twins start on them we just have like 3-4 cups per child... we need more space!

  • Ack! No! I don't have that much storage space. ;)
    We have maybe ... hmm ... 12 or so 4- and 6-oz bottles that are stored away with newborn clothes, and we have six each of 8-oz and 9-oz bottles that are in our current rotation. (I'd love to be on sippies right now but I think that'll take a few weeks ...)

  • The best piece of advice I got from another twin mom.......have only one bottle per baby.  I actually only use 2 per baby (4 bottles) as initially I needed the extra for pumping reasons, and now if we go on a longer outing. I had about 8 with DD when she was little;  I was constantly washing bottles.  Much better this time around, even though it's twins!
  • I have 15 4-oz Dr. Brown's and 4 4-oz Playtex Drop Ins.  I also have 18 8-oz Dr. Brown's and 6 8-oz Playtex Drop Ins.  I am really hoping the girls like Dr. Brown's.  Wink

  • You may in fact have a shopping problem. Either that or you hate washing bottles Wink

  • Um wow. You must never hand wash & always use the d/w! I'm definitely jealous of that although you could probably still do that with like 24 bottles :). haha. 
    I have 12 eight oz dr browns and maybe like 14 four oz bottles. 
  • I have probably 40 8 oz bottles we use and countless other bottles we went through to find that type of bottle!  Lucky for me they liked the cheapy $1 gerber bottles. :)  And yes, I hate washing bottles, that's why we have so many!

  • I had about 14-16 of the 4 or 5 oz bottles, but they've outgrown those. I had 14 of the 8 oz bottles, and just today, bought another 12 pack at BRU...they were 9.99, couldn't pass them up. We plan on leaving some at my ILs since she has formula at her house for when she watches the boys. Just much easier...and I HATE, no LOATHE washing bottles!

    This.  I have 6  9-oz bottles. I use 2-4 per day.  I make as I go, then rinse with hot water and dry for the next feeding.  If we're going to be out, I just take extra formula in a divided dispenser and a bottle of water.

     

     

  • LOL!

    I do have a ton of different types.  I finally purged and threw out the 4 Avents that leaked and we hated.  My fav's are Dr browns and Playtex Advanced.  I think I am going to purge the Playtex drop ins next. 

    I wait until they are almost all dirty and then I do a whole DW load.  I don't like to wash the bottles with our plates and cups and stuff 9for solme reason).
