  Is there a medical reason you're planning on only pumping?

  If you're planning on exclusively pumping (EPing), you're in for a hell of a trip. I don't know if I've ever met a mom who EP'd by choice - it's a complete pain just pumping for the few hours I work during the week, and I can't even IMAGINE pumping full-time.

  I really beg you to reconsider that option. Nursing is so much easier, faster, cheaper, and convenient than pumping.

  ETA: I just bump-stalked you, and I THOUGHT your name sounded familiar, I responded to one of your posts last week. If you're planning on pumping at work and nursing at home... I use the bottles that came with my PISA for milk collection only. As far as feeding is concerned, I use Philips AVENT bottles. I've also heard great things about Dr. Brown's.

  My suggestion would actually be to not buy a whole bunch of bottles before your LO is born - there's no guarantee your LO will like the type of bottle you buy. Try getting a few different kinds, and once you find a kind your LO likes, get a whole bunch of those.

  I use the Medela bottles.  We use mostly the 5 oz ones, but have 3 of the 8 oz for when he's solely on formula.

  For milk storage I use Medela.

  For DS while he's at daycare we use Born Free.

  I agree with PP, don't buy a large supply of bottles for LO until you know what they like. My DS went through 3 kinds before we found one he liked.
