Medela BPA Free Breast Milk Bottle - 5 oz.

My daughter has been using these bottles since she was a newborn. They are very durable. Users that have issues with leaking rings or collapsing nipples are probably tightening the lid too tight. My only issue with these bottles is that the rings seem to crack easily. I've already ordered replacements once and now I need to again. Once my daughter started to hold her own bottle she also started tossing her own bottle and she's cracked lots of rings. I do recommend the bottles but wish this part held up better.

I like to use these bottles because I can pump right into them using my Medela pump. My son takes to the nipple just fine.

Sometimes milk does come out where the nipple attaches.

I HATE the bottle cover that goes over the nipple. There is a gap. So the milk will leak into the cap. SO ANNOYING when we take the bottle out and about. You always have to keep the bottles upright! A huge waste of milk.

We have tried a few different bottles with the newest member of our family. Our first daughter used Avent. BUT, our new little darling didn't like the Avent, Dr.Browns, Playtex drop-ins, orfirstyears breastflow. I was getting desperate, as she needed to be supplemented with neocate to thrive. I ordered one of these just to give it a try, and my sweet little angel drank the whole bottle. I was thrilled! they are fairly inexpensive too. I LOVE that they are easy to wash, with no extra parts. Just a nice simple bottle. We haven't had any leaking issues, like with Dr.browns and Avent either. I think it depends on the latch your LO has. My daughters mouth isn't really big, so her latch is a little more shallow. I think the bottles with a really large nipple (palytex drop-ins, firstyears breastflow) were just too big, the nipple on the avent was just too hard, and the dr.browns drowned our LO. BUT, Make sure you get the wide neck one. It's not SUPER wide, but it's much better than their smaller nipple, and it actually worked for us. Every baby is different, but I'm grateful for these. :)

Once I went back to work, my son had a problem latching on well to bottle nipples. They all just seemed to be too big and he couldn't hold it in his mouth very well. I bought some Medela bottles and he latched on great and his gas has even gotten ALOT better!

The slow flow nipple is perfect for my newborn. Easy to use and assemble.

I bought these bottles because they fit the Ameda breast pump I have. They are fine for storing milk but as far as feeding my baby with them they are terrible! The nipple pours milk out extremely quickly so I have to hold the bottle vertically only filling the nipple partially so that my baby doesn't start choking. I am going to the store today to get other bottles to feed him with. I hate these bottles.

I use the BornFree bottles which are great but I still use these for my 6 month old son. He loves to hold this up by himself because of the size. This nipple brand has lastest the longest out of every brand that I have. I have used Playtex Ventaire, Playtex Nursers,and Dr. Browns ( HATED THOSE) AND Born Free. My son happens to only like level 1 of all bottoms. All other nipples ripped after 3 months ( which is what they are supposed to do) but these have lasted 6 months. I would just use it with the top to freeze my milk and than after warming it up, put the top on for baby. Love these. will use these for my next one.

The one thing I learned about these is not to tighten the top on too tight or it will leak.

These bottles are compatible with my Medela breast-pump.. however, I transfer all the milk into another brand of bottles (Avent, for us) because these nipples would collapse EVERY time my son would eat out of them. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend the Medela breast pump, but would not recommend the bottles for feeding.

I bought medela bottle along with the breast pump. I am using it since my daughter is newborn. Its easy to directly pump store and then feed. My baby is now 5mons and she didnt spill the breastmilk. she can drink perfectly from the bottle. She finds it easy to drink also compared to other bottle.
Even my husband feel its easy to feed her during night time.
I like Medela bottles, I would recommend to my friends.

Early on we used the Haberman bottle which is also made by Medela. The Haberman is for premies and babies who are having difficulties breast-feeding, which was the case for our daughter. She never was able to nurse so we kept using the Haberman which has a longer than normal nipple that is separated from the bottle itself by a thin platic layer so it acts as a valve to control the milk flow. We ended up really liking the bottle since it also prevented colic. Eventually though it was too small so I was happy to discover that the same nipple would fit on my Medela breast pump bottles (the same as these). This has worked out really well for us although we get lots of curious looks about the strange-looking nipple. My one complaint is that the bottles are starting to turn a brownish color even though we wash them every time and sterilize them often too. Since they are BPA-free I am not sure what is causing this but am planning to replace them.
