I still use the Medela (5 oz) once but sometimes my baby wants more than that. He's using formula now, no more breastmilk. Was wondering what other bottles mom use and how often and how much do your babies drink? My baby boy is 27 weeks now and is well into solids (likes everything so far).
Thanks,
Felicia

I'll hold you in my heart until I hold you in heaven.
We just stopped using Medela because the medium flow was too slow for him and they don't have a fast flow option. We switched to Avent and I love them. They're pretty simple - just one more piece than the Medelas - and come in 9 oz size. We started him right away on the stage 4 nipple which is a little fast but he's getting used to it.
We're doing solids 3-4 times per day and he eats about 25-30 oz of formula in addition to that.
Thank you all for taking the time to reply!!
With your experiences, I think I came up with a plan for ourselves too:))

We have these and the 10 oz NUKs. DS likes the avent better cuz he can suck em down faster. But I had purchased the NUK ones before he was born so I use both. =p

Cheap Evenflo glass bottles.
I don't know if LO would have benefited from some fancier bottles earlier on that claim to reduce gas/reflux, but at around 6 months when I think their flapper thingy matures, the spit-up decreased by a lot. It was starting to get better around 5 months.
The most he drinks anymore is 6 oz, first thing in the morning. He gets 5.5 or 5 at other times of the day.
