~12. When LO starts daycare, chances are s/he will take 3-4 bottles while at daycare. You are able to pump into Dr Brown bottles if you're using Medela PISA or Ameda Purely Yours. I highly suggest this to cut down on bottle washing! So that's at least another 4-6 bottles, depending on how often you plan to pump at work and how much you can pump. Add an extra days worth of bottles, so you don't have to wash every single night, if you don't want to. I love Dr Brown bottles but there are a lot of parts!

I wouldn't buy any if I had 17 8oz! That's easily a set for the day to pump into and a set for daycare, probably two sets of each. Standard neck bottles can attach directly to the PISA and a few other pumps. There's no reason you have to use a smaller bottle.

I agree, with PP, if we ever have another child, I would just stick with the 8 oz bottles. Once LO drank more than 4 oz at a time, we never used the 4 oz bottles again.

I only ever used 5 ounce bottles. He only would drink between 4-5 ounces of BM at a time. i had six bottles total.

You don't need 4 oz bottles if you already have plenty 8 oz bottles. Just use the larger bottles!

If you have 17 I would just use 8 oz bottles, eventually you get there anyways. We only bought 8 oz, because by the time she took a bottle (4 1/2 months) she was taking 4 oz anyways and moved up to 6 not long after.
