@pui: I bought the glass Dr Brown's and my daughter was fine with them when she was still a newborn but stopped taking them. Also my daycare doesn't allow glass. I now pump into the glass bottles (will fit Ameda and Medela pumps) because I like to limit plastic where feasible. The glass does tug down a little on the pumping bra but I am able to pump directly into them.

I'm thinking I might end up with the glass Dr. Browns or Avent so I'm going to try the plastic Avent sample bottle that I got and a 3-pack of plastic Dr. Browns. I figure glass is way more expensive so I'll figure out quickly which brand he likes better and then I'll get that in glass.

I registered for Dr. Brown's preemie nipples, which I received, and some bottles I can't remember, because I never got them. When LO was here, I tried the Ameda bottles which came with my pump with the Dr. Brown's preemie nipple, and it was fine. I did buy a lot more of them, and I use them for both pumping and feeding. I had read that the nipple was more important than the bottle for encouraging breastfeeding, and that the slowest flow was best. The Dr. Brown's preemie nipples were the slowest flow I heard of. Many bottles and nipples are standard size, and you can use any standard size nipple with any standard size bottle. The Medela pump should take any standard size bottle. I did not care about glass or plastic, so I use plastic. I don't use a warmer, just a cup with warm water (from the tap).
