Bottle Pole

WARNING: Pregnancy/New Baby Question

So as I stated in my last post, we have started our registry.  I have a question/pole for all the new Mom's out there. 
Bottles....

I know some of you are breastfeeding and I plan on as well.  I still want to register for some for the milk that is pumped and if breastfeeding does not go well I would like backup.  So any of you out there that have had good/bad experiences with different brands I would love to hear from you.  I know every baby is different, but it does not hurt to hear some experiences.  Here are some brands I have heard about...
Playtex VentAire
Playtex Drop Ins
Avent
Dr Brown's
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature
Born Free

    I bought the Playtex drop ins because that is what my sister who has 3 kids used. They are easier to clean up since you just throw the plastic away. You don't have to worry about scraping the crusty milk from the bottom of the bottle....and I am all about what makes my life easier.

    We ended up going with Avent.

    To be honest I can't remember exactly why we chose those, but out of the two brands we had, Baby loved the Avent ones. I think because they have quite a wide teat and so it helped her latch better.

    I liked them because they were easier to clean as they have wider necks so no wrestling with a bottle brush trying to get in each corner. They were also a brand that were easy to buy all the accessories for the we needed as our needs changed (like the travel lid/cap things etc)

    I would recommend getting 23 or 3 types and seeing which ones Baby likes best, then buying more of that one as you need it :-)

    All the best...isn't it exciting making these decisions?!

    We use Dr. Brown and Tommee Tippee and our baby does well with both. (We also got a free Avent bottle at a place we registered for and he does fine with that one too.) He isn't picky. I prefer the Tommee Tippee because it has less parts involved than the Dr. Brown. And if it's the middle of the night and you put the inside parts of the Dr. Brown bottles in not as tight as they should be they leak. My poor husband knows this from experience. :)

    I agree with the above comment. We bought different kinds and went from there. Your baby may be different, but B couldn't care less what he's drinking from as long as he's eating. :)

    I registered for every single type of bottle I saw. Haha.
    Every person that I asked gave me a different answer, so I thought I'd try some variety. :)

    I got a couple {literally, two} Playtex drop in bottles. One silicone nipple, one latex. She's hardly ever had a bottle though... I love that you can just throw the liner away so hardly anything to clean. :-)

    I also pump occasionally and am able to pump directly into the insert and freeze. When ready, thaw and go without dirtying up anything. :-)

    I've only been a mom for 6 days and I'm obviously not breast feeding buti love the Dr. Brown's bottles. They are supposed to be great for colic and gas. So far ellie has only spit up twice. And that was just a tiny bit.

    Others might have better advice since you are breast feeding.
