They hold more and freeze flatter. I thought the medela would be good because you can pump right into the bag, but it's not really that great a system and they take up too much space in the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337685 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:11:35 +0000 mrsjyw 337685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I forgot to mention that we have a variety of other feeding bottles. (tommee, avent, drbrowns, etc.) </p> <p>I guess I should just get freezer bags instead of more BF bottles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337679 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:08:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 337679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started off with a few different kinds to see which one she'll take. I had: 2 Avent, 1 Mam, 6 Nuk (diff models), 2 Comotomo. I only used the Comotomo. Even now at 3 months, I only use Comotomo, but I bought a larger size, so she cycles through those same 4 each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337667 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:02:42 +0000 MamaMoose 337667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have twelve of the medela freezer bottles to use for pumping and storing since LO will be going to day care after my mat leave. And then I have 3 Dr Browns, 2 Avents, and 4 Tommee Tippie for feeding. We'll see which brand LO tends to prefer to eat from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337649 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:52:13 +0000 mediagirl 337649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 8 pumping bottles and take 6 to work with me.<br /> We have 6 feeding bottles and take 4 to daycare (though she normally only takes 3 while she's there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337643 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:50:17 +0000 mamabolt 337643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have six of the bottles that came with my pump and that's just enough for me (pump 3x a day at work). I usually use 5 of them pumping and have one sitting in the fridge at home with a little leftover milk. If I have more than one extra bottle of milk I freeze it. I also have four of the bottles LO drinks out of, we have to wash every day but I'd rather do that than spend more money on more bottles and labels for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337621 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:38:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 337621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was given a free manual pump at the hospital (ameda) with 2 bottles. I have an oversupply and forceful letdown so I have to pump a little before each feed so she can latch on and so she doesn't choke (which equals REALLY BAD GAS!). I don't bother storing it, so I just leave one bottle on to collect all night and dump in the morning. Haha. I rinse the flange in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337202 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:58:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 337202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm a SAHM and I rarely bottle feed (L hasn't had a bottle since I quit working in Aug), we were able to make do with 3 bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337193 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:53:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 337193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have (had) four bottles and it was enough for us. We're EBF but I like to pump for when we'll be out at public events, and also for when DH or someone else is with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337176 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:50:38 +0000 matador84 337176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have too many for now!! Bottles are everywhere. Daycare won't reuse bottles so we have 6 small dr browns, I think. 6 medela that came with the pumps...6 big dr b's which he won't use until later... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337135 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:38:42 +0000 Weagle 337135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 4 Medela bottles for storage (the kind that comes with the pumps), and two that she drinks from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337117 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:34:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 337117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you won't really know until baby is here. olive has 3 and gets 3 bottles during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337107 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:30:52 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 337107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted a bunch and all different kinds, but since I'm a SAHM we usually needed just 2 of the feeding bottles, and 4 of the pumping bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337094 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:28:07 +0000 Mrsbells 337094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning I had 3 avent bottles and about 10 playtex nursers that are used with drop in liners. The more bottles you have the less pressure there is to wash everything immediately. But then again I wouldnt buy too many because sometimes babies change their mind about with bottles they like </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337077 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:25:27 +0000 cvbee 337077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally depends on so much</p> <p>I am home with LO all the time and only used the bottles for when I was having a glass of wine or went out to yoga. 1 bottle would have been fine. </p> <p>But if you're going back to work and LO is getting bottles all day, well that's another story!</p> <p>edit: I have storage bags too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bf-bottles-diddo-you-have#post-337065 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:21:46 +0000 mrsjyw 337065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got two sets of medela 3pck bottles... how many more do I need? </p>
