Im 21 weeks pregnant and we are probably going to be doing our registry this weekend! What bottles do you girls use/recommend..Im also going to try and give breast feeding a try, so any suggestions on what to really get vs all the things that they have.

TIA

    I am breastfeeding and using Tommee Tippee bottles when LO gets a bottle.  We didn't  give a bottle until he was 4 weeks.  He has taken these bottles and breast with no problem with confusion.  HTH

    *Only thing is as of now they are only sold at BRU

    I am also breastfeeding but whenever I'm at work, we've been using the playtex drop in bottles without any issue. Are you planning on BFing only or will you be pumping as well? if you will be pumping, then there is a whole set of other products for that. ;)

    I only pumped, so used bottles form the getgo.  Initially, we went w/ the BreastFlow by First Years, as recommended by the LC since most resembled the breast (and I had wanted to BF).  However, they leaked like crazy!  Luckily I kept the boxes and returned them all bc they sucked horribly.

    Then I went with my Dr Browns (thin bottles) and haven't had a problem!  The only complaint would be that they have too many pieces (but I think most bottles nowadays do). I went with the thin bottles bc they take up less space in baby bag, and since I have to carry around double, well, real estate is a commodity in our life nowadays.  : )

    My DD is breast fed and bottle fed and we use the Dr Brown's wide neck bottles. This is my second baby and we used the same the firs time around and never had any problems.

    I used Born Free.  I mostly pumped, but when I did BF she didn't have a problem with nipple confusion.  The packaging states that it's good for BFed babies, but a lot of them seem to claim the same thing.
