What kind of bottle do/did you use for pumped breast milk?

Question

I have heard Avent Tempo bottles work well, but I have also heard good things about Dr.Browns. Does anyone have experience with these or others?

Answer 1

I use Soothie bottles. They gave my baby the soothie pacifier at the hospital, its the only thing he will take (hes breastfed) . I wasted money on Dr. Brown bottles and had to put away bottles that were given to me.

He does fine w/soothie bottles.

Answer 2

I have been using Phillips Avent for pumping and storage, so far, so good. Really convenient since you don't need to transfer the milk when it comes to feeding time-- This reduces the introduction of air into the bottle as well. Just swap the sealer for a Avent nipple and you're good to go. You can swap it for a nipple with higher flow when you baby gets older :)

I know some people have misgivings about the Avent bottles as they contain BPAs. I'm not bothered since I don't boil my bottles to sterilize them. If it bothers you, Phillips has made a BPA free range--the bottles are honey coloured as compared to the originals.

**p.s, just to share, my darling seldom has problems with gas :)

HTHs!

Answer 3

ill be using the breastflow bottles. My friend uses them and has had great luck with them, her son has no confusion whatsoever and the nipple still makes the baby work for the milk. check em out, babies r us and target.  

Answer 4

I use the Avent magic sippy cups. They take Avent nipples and are BPA-free.

And now I can use them as regular sippies too!

Answer 5

I use Dr Brown's My son switches between bottle and breast with no problems.. He's gotten upset with my nipples' slow flow but nothing big, he gets over it soon enough.

God Bless

Answer 6

I use Playtex drop ins for both pumped breast milk and formula.  Helps reduce the air.  

Answer 7

Glass bottles are best.  I used Born Free.
