Breastfed and bottles?

Question

I have a medela breast pump... Which bottles and storage worked best for the medela breast pump? And what parts do I need? My baby is due in 4 weeks and I still haven't got like the nipple parts or tubes or the accessories for it! Help please...

Answer

Check this out. Pump into the bag, refrigerate or freeze them and then just pop them into the bottle and feed! The only thing you have to clean are the nipples. They're petty affordable, I think this kit was $30. They have adapters for many pumps, including Mandela, and the adapters also let you use another brand's nipples on their bottles if you want. Can't wait to try it!

(The only negative is I read the bags aren't accurate as far as oz, but I just plan to figure out how much they're off and adjust.)

Answer

I've bought some milk storage bottles from a medical supply place that sells on Amazon that will fit right on my medela pump - much cheaper than the medela brand ones but good quality,  sterile packaged and bpa free. I will mostly be breastfeeding and just expressing for feeds while I'm out or so my husband can do some feeds. I like the convenience of just pumping into a bottle and storing in the bottle rather than decanting into bags etc. I've got MAM bottles with newborn teats to transfer the milk into for feeding.

Answer

Medela Calma Breastmilk feeding nipple is just perfect. It imitates breast flow so is not confusing for the baby. They have storage bags not very big as you might not be able to extract great quantity of milk each time but enough to give to your baby in your absence. Good luck!!

Answer

A lot of pumps pump into a bottle then you can pour into storage bags to freeze etc. Then when you are ready to bottle feed pour the milk from bags into whatever bottles your baby prefers
