bottles and breast pump

kcave21 · April 2015

so I have decided to go with the Medela breast pump..but really love the Avent bottles...there is a convertor for the bottles to attach to the pump, but I was wondering what you second time moms think of the medela bottles? would you go ahead and get them or go with the ones you love?

You can use any bottles you want. You can just pump into bags and then pour into whatever bottle you want.

I have the same setup with advent bottles. I would always pump into the little storage containers that screw onto the pump and transfer into the bottles later.

I would wait and see what your baby prefers. If they take the medela bottles its really nice to skip a step as pumping is a lot of work. I didn't produce much extra milk so we were never freezing much and it was cheaper not to use bags. I had about 10 medela bottles and would take 5 to work each day for pumping, combining into one bottle after each session this allowed for up to 4 pump sessions. In our case we tried 5-6 types of bottles and DS wasn't wild about any of them, so we stuck with Medela.

Also if you aren't very responsive to pumping that milk becomes like liquid gold and you'll want to avoid bag adapters or anything that increases the changes of a spill. I will again pump to the medela bottles even if we end up using something different for this baby.

Here are the adapters. I'm a FTM, so I can't give any reviews.
