I plan on breastfeeding but don't want to always HAVE to be the one feeding Baby. My SO also wants his turn to get to feed the baby. So we're looking at pumps and equipment, but its a bit of a chore narrowing things down. My friends with kids formula fed from the start so asking there isn't going to work.
What are the things I need to look for? Which bottles go with which pumps? Are there any qualities on certain brands that you have found wonderful or terrible?
Re: Breast Feeding and Breast pumps
The type of pump needed depends a lot on your lifestyle, will you be a SAHM, will you pump from work, etc. Medela has a really good reputation but there are also other great brands.
I think most pumps come with a few bottles, some are interchangeable or you can buy adaptors for them to work with specific bottles. You'll want to wait and see what bottles your baby takes before you stock up on any one type.
Many people store milk in bags for freezing and rotate through their stash.
