on average, how many 4 oz bottles do we need? and when do babies outgrow them to the 8 oz ones?

I think it depends if you are using as supplement to nursing or exclusively bottle feeding. Newborns eat every 2-3 hours. So you'll need enough so you aren't constantly doing dishes. A dozen? I nursed so I'm not sure when they move up to 8oz bottles but I think about 6 months.

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!

I used 8 as the recommended milk is usually 30 oz. once they start solids you decrease that slowly as they eat more food. I never gave more than 4oz until my daughter was about a year old. That is also the recommended stopping time for bottles. We went to a larger sippy at that time.

We got just over 6 months out of ours - looking at my baby tracking app, that was about 8,000 oz of water to make formula.

There is for sure space for the 6 or 8 oz bottles. We are using different shape 4oz bottles right now and I am certain you can put the 6oz bottles, but the 8oz looks very very close.

Depending on how much ice you use, 18 to 20, 12 ounce bottles. Haven't tried more.

It depends on the size and shape of the bottles, and if you want to add ice as well. I'd say 15 - 18 w/some ice, 24 or so with no ice.

For smaller bottles, it's pretty easy to break them in half to fit a couple. Right now I'm using 9 oz bottles, and I can fit 4 in at a time. If I need to thaw milk quickly, I usually just stick however many ounces I need in a large thermos and let it sit in hot water for a little while until it's melted enough to pour into the bottle (and then I use a bottle warmer to warm it all the way). Hope that helps!

Yes I bought the 3-pack of 8 oz bottles. The smaller 4 oz. wide neck size haven't leaked as much.

I have Medela bottles from 3 years ago with my first child that all fit this nipple. I have the 2.5 oz freezer bottles for newborns, 5 oz, and 8 oz and it fits them all. I haven't purchased any new bottles yet and baby two is 8.5 months old.

Im guessing no more than 6. Although I've never had that many little ones at once.

The 8oz comes with the number 2, slow flow. The 4 oz, comes with the number 1, newborn flow.

You get two bottles that are 32 ounces each. If you take an ounce a day, that's a two month supply!

As far as I remember, 4 bottles is for one year's supply, and the expiration date shall be 2 or 3 years later. Just use it constantly and finish it with in a year, you should be fine. If you just wanna try then I am suggesting you to buy 2 bottles, maybe there would be some promotions later on amazon and you feel it does works for you, you may buy more at a time later.

Six bottles come with the pump, each holding about 5 oz. If you have a newborn, I recommend using them just for storage and not feeding. My son was overwhelmed by the amount of milk that came out so we had to transfer the milk to a low-flow bottle instead.

I use smaller containers only because I add essential oils to them. I have a bottle for the baby and one for me.

I pump into the bottles, but back when I was making more than he needed for daycare, I froze in the lansinoh bags. I kept in the bottles for what he needed for the next 2-3 days. I have 9 bottles and that's just enough for me between pumping and sending milk to daycare. 3 bottles to daycare, 3 bottles for 2 pump sessions at work, and 3 spare to get the next day ready before washing today's.

I typically pump 4-6 oz at a time so I only hook one side up with the bag, the other I pump into a bottle then dump the bottle into the bag- saves bags and the kiddo gets a "full feeding" from one twist bag.
