I've been pumping into mine for my stash and am just curious if there is some reason I should be using something different? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161772 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:45:56 +0000 swedishfish 1161772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: they rock!

TT was our least favorite so we retired them. The caps never stayed on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161764 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:33:58 +0000 PinkElephant 1161764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this pump as well as the adaptors that let you pump directly into TT bottles. Loved all of it, though really only used the adaptors when traveling in order to cut down on the number of parts I needed to carry.</p> <p>Attachments to pump directly to bags found awesome - I'll have to look into those for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161621 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:33:56 +0000 Mrsjets 1161621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS used the TT bottles fine, not sure if he'd have taken to any bottle but he did well going back and forth with these so I didn't try anything else, although I nursed 90+% of the time.</p> <p>I used the Medela Swing since I was a SAHM and only pumped once a day, if that. I like it, it was easy to bring places too since it was so small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161609 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:07:42 +0000 hellobeeboston 1161609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have that pump and loved it!!</p> <p>I pumped into the small medela bottles and we just used them until he was ready for a faster flow and larger bottle and used Avent since I got them for my shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161541 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 02:41:30 +0000 rachiecakes 1161541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had &amp; loved both! Highly recommend!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161539 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 02:38:24 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1161539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both and love both! I did also get the attachment that lets me pump straight into the bags which I love because there is less cleanup. I hate the madela bags though so I plan on retrofitting my NUK bags to work with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161513 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:42:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 1161513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are exactly what we use. Well, almost the same pump but I got a slightly scaled back version through my insurance for free, but it's the same main parts. We only tried the medela bottles and the tommee tippee and te medela were too fast for her, so we only use the tt. No complaints. </p> <p>I am not going back to work but the pump is great for when I want to be away from her for a couple of hours or if we are going somewhere where bottle feeding is more convenient. I just went away for half a day and the pump let me do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161435 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 22:31:59 +0000 HLK208 1161435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pump is awesome.

You will LOVE it.<br /> I haven't used the bottles but the general consensus is that people like them.<br /> You can read reviews on both products on Amazon.<br /> I watched videos on youtube too of reviews and 'how tos'. Loved that pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161383 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:26:40 +0000 Smurfette 1161383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: BRU sells an adapter, $5 each, so you can pump directly into TT bottles. We use them and no complaints! We tried about 5 or 6 different ones too. We don't use the streamer, just wash them. </p> <p>TT also makes good travel container for heating up bottles. You put hot water in the thermos and then pour water into the plastic part to heat up the bottle. The water stays hot a long time. Highly recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161373 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:15:35 +0000 autumnlove 1161373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Yes, I pump into Medela or Evenflo (only in the morning when I expect more than 5 oz per boob) bottles and then I freeze the milk in Honeysuckle bags. </p> <p>I put thawed milk in the TT bottles for daycare. I also transfer enough for one feeding into a glass Dr. Brown's bottle when DH has to feed her in the morning. He heats the milk in the glass bottle (heats better than plastic) and then he transfers to a TT bottle! We wash a lot of bottles during the week! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161369 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:12:51 +0000 cascademom 1161369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: it depends on the bottle. Some of them fit into PIS and other models. I bought a few Medela bottles to pump into. Don't buy the Medela Pump and Save bags, they're the worst. I pumped into a bottle then switched it to a bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161366 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:11:37 +0000 lawbee11 1161366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: you can get an adapter!

My LO has one TT bottle and takes it just great. I think a lot of breastfed babies do well with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tommee-tippee-bottles-and-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-breast-pump-with-on-the-go-tote#post-1161346 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:02:16 +0000 anonysquire 1161346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok here starts my gear questions. Does anyone have and love the tommee tipee closer to nature bottles and steamer? Also does anyone have and love the medela pump in style breast pump?</p> <p>I do not know if I will be working after birth but feel like I need a pump anyways. I have heard good things about medela. Also we were at Target and so much of their tommee tipee stuff was on clearance so we bought it all. Is it a good brand? Why am I so clueless about gear? </p> [attach=1857/13/muy2zs.410x410.10762141.jpg]
