pumping at work: what bottles?

TurtleDove1 · September 2012

I go back to work tomorrow. I was not working when DS was an infant, so this is all new to me. I have a Medela PISA. What do you use to pump into? the skinny bottles, snappies, bags?

I pumped in Medela bottles. I think they came with my pump. Then I transfered milk to Tommee Tippee bottles for DD and bags to put in the freezer.

I use the Medela bottles for pumping and feeding. I try to keep it as simple as possible and this has worked for both kids.

I had a couple of Medela bottles that came with the pump, but I bought some really cheap Gerber bottles also. They are the same six ounce size and fit the pump, but also come with caps and nipples, etc. (and are a LOT cheaper.) The Gerber nipples were the slowest flow nipples I could find and worked great for feeding from too. So, we just used the Gerber (or Parent's Choice or Medela with Gerber nipples) bottles that I pumped into to feed also. If I wanted to freeze, I pumped into the bottles at work and put them into a cooler bag, then transfered into lansinoh freezer bags at home.

I pump into the medela and parents choice bottles. I use the pc rings with dr brown preemie flow nipples. I have a slow let down so I have to give her a reaaaaallly slow flow nipple so she won't get pissed while nursing.

Pump into gerber bottles, being home and pour into a large jug in my fridge. Once or twice week, freeze 4 oz bags

This.

Anything that I freeze goes into a bag. I've been using the Nuk/Gerber brand bc they were on sale.

We used Playtex drop-ins. They have a breastfeeding kit that comes with an adapter so the wider bottle can fit on a normal size pump. It also has caps for the bottles. We liked the drop-ins, b/c we could freeze the milk right in the drop-in, and put multiple drop-ins in a quart-size freezer bag. Then, we could take out a drop-in, put it in the bottle and thaw, and feed without having to use multiple bottles, bags, etc. It worked well for us. Good luck!

This! I also had some cheapies to pump into if the Medela ones filled up faster than planned.

This is how I do it, too.
