How many do i need for the first year of my baby??? Which one do i use for milk feeding? Not sure if it depends on the liquid density or baby age.

How many do you need in the 1st year? I a actually have 5 bottles so I get a bottle that already has the nipple and then 2 packages of 2. 1 hole is great for the 1st few months, then when your baby is eating more, go to 2 holes and then after a few months go to 3 holes. Don't worry about following the timeline set by Avent. If the milk is thicker more holes is better but just know that your baby may not be ready for more holes if they spill a lot. Also if they get suction blisters on their lips, that's a clear sign to up the holes on the nipples. I hope that helps. Good luck!

I think you're asking, how many bottles for the first year. We started with just three when we were breastfeeding and pumping milk. When we switched to just bottles and formula, we upped to about nine. I wish we had 20. The caps seem to disappear like socks in the wash.

I'm not quite sure if it helps with the other breast producing more milk or not I just started it seems like it helpsI think that you should nurse the baby on the other breast as much as possible to produce more milk.I have nursed seven children so I prettymuch know everything about it

Each diaper comes with two inserts, an infant insert and a slightly longer toddler insert. We used the infant size from birth to 6 months, then switched to the toddler for added absorbency. When our daughter turned one, we started double stuffing each diaper with both inserts (she had started leaking through) and it's worked extremely well so far.

I followed my friend's advice. She had twins and used these. start with 6, you will have more than enough. You don't always need to put them to wash every day, if the poop has not touched the wrap, you can reuse it. However, we did not use it for our newborn, she was too small, 6.3lbs. We started with 6, we are still using them and our daughter is now 6 moths old. They are great.

I agree with A Carloss. We didn't use these with our daughter until 8 mos maybe, when we started giving water in addition to breast milk. But the great thing about them is they are soft top so it's an easy transition from bottle. As for maximum age, my daughter is 2 years 1 month and we're still using them. We've added a sippy cup that has a straw too, but she's not ready for full on cups yet.

We actually fed our baby from a bottle with expressed milk after a week. I started pumping and we did not give him a bottle frequently...mostly in the evening when my husband would feed him before bed. He had no problems continuing to breastfeed until he was a year. The other option would be to mix it with a little water and feed it to your baby in a bottle before or during a breastfeeding session.

Only need to purchase one set (I cant remember if it came with 2 or 4 - I have 4) But they definitely came in sets. I also used with my freestyle pump. Words of wisdom, watch the holes when pouring milk out of the bags - I spilled the first bag :(

Because the milk only flows when the baby is sucking, I assume you can use it for all ages. An older baby with a stronger suck will get more milk flow.

Your child regulates how fast or slow they get the milk from these bottle/nipples. I would not recommend starting out with the slow flow just because the child would more than likely get frustrated.

Two different sizes..one set for infants for use with baby foods plus and one set for the toddler ages.

The answer to that depends on multiple factors but I will give u my situation. I started with 4 and found I was always playing catch up with sterilizing them in time so I finally bought 4 more. For me this worked becUse at one point my daughter was drinking from the bottle all day and only bf at night(so that's about 4 bottles/day at that time) after she turned around 4 minths(can vary by baby) she started to drink more but not at the same time just more often. My friends have told me that breastfed babies mostly drink upto about 4-5oz Max at a time so you never really end up needing bigger bottles. She is now 7 months and we are using the same bottles. If ur baby will consume formula either entirely or supplemented with Breast milk he or she will drink more at a time and u will probably need bigger bottles around the 3-4 month time frame so maybe just purchase 4 of the 4 oz for now. Hope that helps!

You should only need one until he/she gets big enough to need two for a bigger area. One should work fine at first.

This comes with at least two level 1 nipples. If you think you'll use the larger bottles with a newborn, then I would order extras.

Only one device was sold on Amazon, but you can purchase a pair from the Milkies website. I've considered purchasing a second device since it does such a good job of collecting. However, I really only see using one at a time (while nursing on the other breast). If the milk saver was less bulky and were a closed unit to prevent spilling, then I would definitely order a second to wear while going about my day. But they are rather large and cannot be concealed under clothing. And I've forgotten twice and bent over, spilling all my collected milk. Therefore, it really should only be worn while actively nursing and should be removed when you remove the baby.

I use one packet of starter or a tablespoon of a previous batch per quart of milk. Hope that helps!

I'm guessing you're only feeding him/her an ounce or so, right? These containers hold around 6. So they might be a bit big now, but you'll be glad you have them in a few months. You might want to look at getting some of the oxo tot containers too, those are great for smaller portions. They even have measuring marks so you know how much your feeding them. I love mine, I have two sets.

I had been mixing this in with pureed or mashed food for my 8 month old baby for a couple of months before I read that only liquids were recommended for mixing. I just called the company and a customer rep told me that it was no problem to mix in with food. Obviously if your baby is not eating food yet this doesn't help, but thought I'd put it out there. I also did not have any issues mixing it with breast milk when he was younger.
