I urge you to not use the Platex Nursing Necessities breast pump. If you need further reasons why I would be glad to tell you in email and show you proof of how terrible it can damage your body. I am not sure about how to convert your bottles. I just wanted to give my two cents about Playtex. KristenKristensutra@yahoo.com

Three years ago, I called playtex and they sent me free adapters. I assume they will still do this.

I'm not sure which bottle you're using but if it's a fatter bottles- it would work. I used playtex normal ones and they were too skinny

Unfortunately Tomy the company who owns this brand purposely made this pump and its single sister to be used with their brand of bottles. There is no adapter that can fit onto this pump and its single sister. The bottles that can be used is their Gumdrop and Breastflow.

I would say no, because I had the tall, thin Playtex bottles and could only fit three. It is pretty narrow - I didn't have a problem with height but I think the TT bottles are wider than Playtex. Hope that helps!

Both the 4 oz and 8 oz evenflo glass bottles come with evenflo's slow flow nipples. Before my baby arrived, I bought the medium and fast flow nipples worried that I'd need them right away, but she's now 7 months and still using the slow flow. I'm not sure we'll ever switch. She can still power down 8 oz in 5 minutes with the slow-flow. Not sure if this is common for breastfed babies who also bottle-feed. We used the slow flow for formula as well as breast milk. The opening of the bottle seems to be the same as that of the medela bottles as it fits onto the Medela pump in style advanced that I have (but the glass bottles are so heavy that I prefer pumping into the plastic medela ones). Early on my baby showed a preference for the evenflo nipple over the medela, so we tossed the medela. Not sure what size it was or if all medela nipples are the same size but with different flow rates. One thing to keep in mind with using the evenflo nipples/bottles is that they work great as long as you don't have them screwed on too tight (the nipple will collapse and baby will suck and suck but get no milk) or too loose (leaks). It's their special air-vent system that requires some air to flow under the nipple base. If baby sucks and little bubbles flow into the milk shortly after that, then it's probably on just right.

I would NOT buy this for the pump. It doesn't work. Not even kind of. A regular cheap bike pump works though. The accessory itself is awesome and totally worth the $$! I also have an older bob. So that MAY have something to do with why the pump doesn't work. Beware... Lots of people have had it happen.

You would have to experiment. The only one I know it works for is the Playtex Ventaire wide bottles.

I searched for them EVERYWHERE and couldn't find it. Then someone on a forum said they called Playtex, who gave them this website:http://mybrands.com/Brands/Playtex-Baby/Playtex-One-Step-Breast-Milk-Storage-Kit ... I just ordered it last night, so happy to have found it! It's not the white caps though, it's the blue ones - which are on the walmart website but out of stock. Also, I ordered two sets because only 1 adapter comes with each box but the price isn't bad either.

Yes, we used the Playtex VentAire Standard bottles with it and the nipples fit fine. It takes standard small size nipples.

Yes. I used this method. http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Drop-Ins-System-Breast-Storage/dp/B0011UH78G the pieces fit my madela pump and it worked great! Comes with some rings and lids to store in the fridge.

I Hope this answer helps. When I use my bottle to feed my son, I have to use the ring. When I'm pumping with adapter, I have to the ring too. I have the Avent Classic bottles. I haven't use the Natural ones before. If you must use a ring when you are using to feed with your bottle, then yes. I found out the hard way and spilled milk.

Yes the Medela storage bottles are compatible. I've used them without issue. Unlike others I have had good luck w/ using this pump & the soft breast cups are much more comfortable in my opinion than the Medela. You have to experiment with the rate & strength nob to find what works for you. Everyone's let-down & flow is different

It can work with other bottles. I use Dr. Browns bottles and if I can remember correctly. I had to take the bottom tray out once my daughter was drinking more than 4 ounces. Now just to let you know. My machine broke in about 6-7months. Brand new and it just sat in the same spot for those months. It does work great as far as temperature but to change the different ounces it would get stuck on 4 ounces. And I would have to unplug it to be able to change the ounces. Also you gotta fill the water to the very top so the low water light can come off. And it will work again.

They have a kit to do this - it's awesome. I think this is it: Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)There is also an adapter to pump directly into the bags.
