Medela 250ml Breastmilk Bottles - 2 Pack

I’m leaving a review for the 3 pack of bottles. I did find these at an amazing price that’s why I picked them up to try out. I purchased the three pack for $6.50 at a local baby/kids shop. The quality of the bottles feel just OKAY, the plastic feels like it can warp easily. All the other bottle brands I’ve used are a harder type of plastic in comparison to these. You can literally press on the bottle and it squeezes in a bit. My ultimate test was how fast the milk would pour out of the nipples and these almost come out wayyyy too fast for my daughter, I think I’ll have to try these again in a couple of months because she’s gulping the milk down too fast/ the milk is dripping out too quickly for her to drink.

Let me tell you my journey through baby bottles. Baby bottles. Easy enough, right? You just pick one, dump your milk into it, and feed your baby. What's the big deal! Wrong. My baby was born early. We supplemented formula for a few days in the hospital while my milk came in to help her gain weight. She used the ready to feed bottles with Similac nipples like a champ. What a big, good eater our tiny baby was! Fast forward to home. Avent Natural Bottles. The nipple was too big and she cried. Her tiny mouth didn't fit. We went back to 2 ounce milk collection bottles with Similac nipples from the hospital and she was happy again. We tried Dr Brown nipples at first because they were recommended so highly online. I HATE those nipples and my baby again developed horrible ... MoreLet me tell you my journey through baby bottles. Baby bottles. Easy enough, right?

Having a credit card debt can actually be a bad experience. I didn’t get approved because of my credit card debts of about $31,900, which brought down my credit score to 520(Experian) 560(Equifax) and 611(TransUnion). I became worried because high credit score is very important, it determines your status. Thanks to this genuine hacker called ROOTKITS CREDIT SPECIALIST, I emailed them about my credit issues. He helped me raise my credit score to 811 across the 3 credit bureaus and cleared the credit card debt on my report and also added standard Tradelines within 9days. His service is secured, fast with affordable price. Get more info via: rootkitscreditspecialist @ gmail . com ; Cell +1 760 474 3440

I absolutely loved these bottles during my breastfeeding journey. I used them during rotation of daily milk pumped throughout the day. These bottles are also accurate when measuring out oz pumped whether to bottle milk or store in breastmilk storage bags. Easy to clean and remove excessive fatty oil from breastmilk stuck on the plastic of the bottles. Great size for travel and all. I’ve used these bottles with a number of different pumps such as the Baby Buddha Spectra. Not just for the Medela Harmony or their other pumps.

My wife and I are new parents to the sweetest little boy on the planet and she wanted to do everything natural which meant she was hands down breastfeeding no questions about it, no formula, no alternative just breastfed momma milk, well she has done excellent and has a mass supply. These bottles are great for this because daddy needed some bonding time with his little boy too, changing diapers and holding him is amazing don't get me wrong but it doesn't release any oxytocin for the boy to get that love connection well she started using the pump and putting these bottle in the fridge as quick storage bottles for me to use as a way to feed my boy but to also get her some extra sleep and I tell yah these things rock. These bottles came with caps that lock on the top ... MoreMy wife and I are new parents to the sweetest little boy on the planet and she wanted to do everything natural which meant she was hands down breastfeeding no questions about it, no formula, no alternative just breastfed momma milk, well she has done excellent and has a mass supply.

These bottles came with caps that lock on the top (spillproof) and it has lines and numbers for how many ounces your are using for your child. By far a product I would highly recommend for any woman wanting to pump for breast milk, hands down an amazing product.

Don't look any further - you won't find any better

Milk bags don't leak, have double seals.Bottles are standard, no complaints.Now the Calma teat. The best there is. We bought 2 other high rated brands and went back to Calma. They don't leak. To get the milk, the baby has to suck on it as on a nipple. So the milk doesn't flow to fast - babies regulates it themselves. Anti colic which seems to work well. And no confusion between the real thing and bottle. They are expensive but worth every penny. The only improvement I could imagine is the nipple bit seems a bit long but we didn't experience any problems. Only thing to keep in mind is - you need to take it apart when cleaning which is easy enough.PS. Don't squeeze the bottle to get the milk out - it doesn't work like that.

Great for storage and baby feeding 2 in 1

As an exclusive pumping mum, I have have been using this bottles not just for storage but also adding teat later for feeding baby. Bottle is easy to clean. Although one of the many bottles I have used one day decided to crack just after my pumping session, like a small hair line crack at the bottom of the bottle and milk started leaking. Not sure if this due to age (>3mths) or my method of sterilising which is steam for cleaning and uv fridge for storage.

Screw cap pops off after being in warmer

I purchased two sets of these because I liked that they weren’t overly big. However, I make a bottle, put the screw on lid on, and place the bottle in the warmer for a few minutes. Every single time the screw cap easily pops right off after being warmed with the flick of a finger. So there’s a TON of leakage. I would have to let it cool and then screw the lid back on, which defeats the purpose in my opinion. It doesn’t do this prior to being put in the warmer. I’ve been dealing with it but the other day I warmed a bottle and when I went to feed it to my baby the whole cap and nipple popped off and went all over my baby, the couch, everywhere. That was the final straw for me. If I could attach a video of how easily the top pops off I would.

There are better bottles out there..

I thought Medela was the be all, end all for baby feeding, however, I bought a few different brands of bottles (in case my baby was picky). I quickly realized that the opening at the top is SO small, it was difficult to scoop formula in or transfer breast milk from my storage pouches. I also did love that shaking/mixing the bottle with the lid on, did not cover the hole. If I had a pre made bottle with a lid and it tipped, or I shook it to mix it, the liquid would just drip all over the lid and it was essentially wasted milk. I also didn’t use a Medela breast pump, so it really didn’t serve a purpose for me to assist with storage and feeding for breastfeeding. So, take it for what it is, these aren’t terrible, by any means- there just may be a better option out ... MoreI thought Medela was the be all, end all for baby feeding, however, I bought a few different brands of bottles (in case my baby was picky).

Unclear Description

I could not see anywhere in the description what age these bottles are suitable for. Upon receiving them, I can see that they are medium flow, unsuitable for my newborn. The description needs to have this information in it. I then bought newborn teats, which are advertised as suitable for any medela breastmilk bottles. They do not fit, as they are a standard base, not a wide base, which was also not clear in the description of the product. The size of the base and the flow of the teat needs to be clear in the description of each medela product.
