That being said, I'm on maternity leave for a year, so I don't often need bottles. </p> <p>It all depends on how often you plan to pump/use bottles - hopefully someone else has better insight.</p> <p>I would recommend getting another size of nipple (other than the ones your bottles came with), just in case your LO needs a different flow. Also, get either storage bags or storage containers if you plan a freezer stash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-else-do-i-need-with-my-philips-avent-pump#post-1650407 Wed, 21 May 2014 20:47:48 +0000 mrsdwing 1650407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due in 5 weeks and am trying to get everything I might need for pumping ready ahead of time. </p> <p>I have a Philips Avent Isis single electric pump and have NO idea what I need to have in addition to the pump itself.</p> <p>I just ordered an "essentials" pack that includes:<br /> - Microwave steam sterilizer<br /> - 2x 4 oz. bottles<br /> - 2x 9 oz. bottles</p> <p>Do I need more than four bottles? </p> <p>Should I purchase any additional nipples that are meant for different ages/stages or are different flow? </p> <p>I'm lost. Please help! </p>
