His pacifiers are that brand, though.

You can also use the bottle again w/o cleaning...just add new liner...and lots of nipple options.<br />Also, the medela ones were really easy for him too. <br />Also, also, we didn't experiment too much. O, you get what you get! =)Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834875597299071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34874045.post-18345377780646387282011-02-23T21:29:06.319-06:002011-02-23T21:29:06.319-06:00(But they don't fit in the Medela insulated ba...(But they don't fit in the Medela insulated bag, for pumping on the go...so sticking to Medela is probably the better idea.)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733559271848774694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34874045.post-75145750125237980502011-02-23T21:28:17.599-06:002011-02-23T21:28:17.599-06:00@Margie: You're right!

So you just never know. One thing I did find out through this is that other bottles (the Gerber First Essentials included) fit the Medela pump attachment, so they might be a cheaper option if you ever needed extra.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733559271848774694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34874045.post-1417942785657164932011-02-23T20:14:55.286-06:002011-02-23T20:14:55.286-06:00My sister also used Dr. Browns but we opted for Me...My sister also used Dr. Browns but we opted for Medela because of my pump. It's amazing how you really don't know how the bottles will work until baby comes. That's why we opted to just get the starter kit and see how things go, then order more. This is very helpful though. Glad to see you doing these reviews. :)Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693123434507948894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34874045.post-12780802079209024432011-02-23T16:09:32.516-06:002011-02-23T16:09:32.516-06:00who knew there were so many kinds and criteria?

The fewer parts, the better IMHO.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388372093890982397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34874045.post-71592930283198743042011-02-23T12:30:16.508-06:002011-02-23T12:30:16.508-06:00I like the Dr. Brown's bottles... long and nar...I like the Dr. Brown's bottles... long and narrow (although not cheapo, I guess, and has a few parts to it). They do make a wide version, too. They sell "y-cut" nipples for the thicker liquid.KarenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901472388331907986noreply@blogger.com
