Is this enough?

Question

FTM here.  Is this enough bottles & pacifiers?  I’m planning on breastfeeding but will pump when I go back to work in September.  That’s the ideal situation but with babies, they have their own reality.  I’m also not planning to use a pacifier until breastfeeding is well established.  I also don’t want to put unrealistic expectations on myself.  First & foremost, baby needs to eat.  What do you ladies think? TIA!

Answer

Looks like plenty for the first couple of months but you’ll want to get a few more of the larger bottles once they start using those.

Answer

Following. Looks like what I have too. I have the Playtex ventaire bottles, a couple Dr Brown bottles, an Avent bottle and 3 tommee tippe bottles.

Answer

Yes, that’s enough. We only used 3 of the 4 oz ones and 3 of the 9 oz ones with my first. We never lost a binky either. We also asked our nurse for extras the day we were being discharged and she brought us like 10. But I work from home so it was pretty much impossible to misplace a binky and it was always on pacifier clip.

Answer

I formula feed and I think that’s more than enough and a good variety. You may find that your baby only likes one of those brands. We spent hundreds trying to find something my picky first child liked

Answer

I honestly have double that in bottles probably more

Answer

I think that’s enough. That’s definitely more than we have. We have 2 Aveeno bottles we got in baggies, 3 bottles from Medela gift set and a Medela Calma bottle. I plan on breastfeeding until I go to work and by that point I plan on getting the glass Dr. Brown bottles.

Answer

I love the playtex ventaire bottles..I've been using it for both my boys...oldest just turned 18 years old and now my 2.5 year old..will continue to use for my nb...those pacifiers my son hated them..

Answer

I will say for my sanity, I required more once my son started daycare. I needed enough bottles for three days and that included pumping for me and drinking for my son. I didn’t want to have to worry about cleaning and repacking. My son didn’t start daycare until he was 7.5 months though. He used 5 bottles a day and I used six. Plus I packed extra for both of us again. Soooo we had about 18 bottles. It was a lot, but it worked for us. You do need to be careful because babies can be very picky on what bottles they will use. I’m just praying this little girl will use the same ones!
