A must have for the first few weeks!, May 30, 2010

After diapers & wipes, these are the most important thing in my diaper bag! I'm breastfeeding my son, but we supplement with this formula so my husband can feed the baby (I don't always have enough pumped for a bottle) and for convenience. It is very helpful to have a bottle handy when I'm waiting at the register at the supermarket and the baby is crying to be fed. I love these little, ready-made bottles because they are the perfect size and there is no mixing needed - just shake, open, screw on a nipple, and feed the baby.These don't come with nipples, but you can use regular bottle nipples or get disposable nipples separately. You can buy about 50 disposable Similac nipples from the Abbott store online or use Enfamil disposable nipples (I've used these - they fit fine), which they sell on Amazon.com in packs of 10 or 25.I have two nipples in a ziplock bag and 4 bottles in my diaper bag at all times. There are cheaper feeding options, but for convenience I...

These bottles helped tremendously in adjusting to daycare for a pumping mother. My daycare used these bottles at the end of the day when baby was hungry and there was no breast milk left. I call them a jumper bottle--they satisfied her hunger until I could pick her up and nurse her and 2ozs wouldn't significantly reduce my production. They are ready to use - which allows them to be stored at daycare per state daycare guidelines--I simply provide a bag of ready to attach nipples. Priced exactly like local but no sales tax to pay and delivered to my door!

These bottles are the same product used in the hospital. I found them to be invaluable during the first few weeks when newborns are eating constantly. Its a great way to avoid constant bottle washing when you are so tired. I don't heat the formula so that saves even more time. Later, these bottles are great for the diaper bag and any use away from home. Nipples are not included but I found them to be much cheaper at my postpartum clinic than they are online.
