Does anyone know if this fits into Medela bottles easily? We're still using their 2 oz. storage bottles because she doesn't eat much at once.

Yes, the sponge and the bristles are pretty soft, can squeeze through my breast pump flanges

If you are talking about the 2 oz vials, I don't think it would fit. Sorry:(

It does, but I rather use the munchkin brand brush for my bottle washing. Dr. Brown's bristles to me are soft and doesn't seem to clean that well.

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 pumped into the bottles and then stored the milk in the medela freezer bags. I usually had 2-3 bottles in the fridge ready to go and then I would just freeze the rest. I had ALOT of bottles but that was just my preference because I didn't want to have to wash bottles constantly.

I put both young living 5 ml and 15 ml bottles in it! 15 ml bottles require a little bit more effort, but both fit! Hope this helps!

It won't fit a very small opening. I have some 2 oz bottles that it fits in, but they have the same size opening as the larger bottles.

Way too big for her. I'd wait until her adult teeth emerge and then start brushing them with CET toothpaste/brush. That's the best way to prevent tooth decay/tartar/loss.

Yes, the regular size bottles. But may I say that I have both the Lansinoh model and the Medela model, and much prefer the Medela. It's a lot quieter, somehow produces more milk and is less tiring to my hands to use. I am still using it daily, my daughter is 5 months old. It does not fit with other bottles, but after 3 months the Dr Browns started to leak for us anyhow (we switched to the Playtex Ventaire and really like those.)

Yes. Medela bottles fit this breastshield no problem. I also use other brands (standard size) of bottles with these breastshields without a problem.

Hi Joseph - I have the Medium and it DEFINITELY would NOT fit a 2-liter bottle. Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Large would fit it too, but it's worth asking

Yes, we purchased these specifically for the 80 ml medela tubes/cylinders and 5 oz/150 ml medela bottles. Our lactation consultant indicated these would have the slowest flow for our newborn, and they worked well for us. However, they aren't reusable past a few uses as the rubber swells and does not allow milk to pass through.

No. Wierd enough, Medela, the breastmilk-pumps specialists are selling horrible nipples.Either move to Calma which fits the Medela bottle, and is actually one of the best, if not the best, nipple available for breastmilk bottle-feeding.Or, switch to another bottle and nipple (you'll have to pass the milk from the pump's bottle to the other).I used the second solution, and moved to MAM's bottles and nipples. Didn't regret that decision.

Yes, I use a medela pump and Dr. Brown's bottles. I can get them all to fit. As far as hard water, run the unit with a combination of water and white vinegar periodically to help keep it clean. Make sure to run it with clear water a few times after to get rid of the vinegar smell!

I bought these bottles for my daughter so I checked with her. She says there is headroom probably for 5 ounces, but both of us wonder if filling the bottles that full of milk would interfere with the self-venting process, which allows the baby to drink smoothly without inhaling a lot of air. We think that it would be better to buy the 8-oz. size and just put in the desired number of ounces.

Hello nerdy mom :-) Yes, I have the Medela Pump in Style Advanced, and I pump directly into the bottle.

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.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

Avent sells an adapter that connects their bottles to a medela breast pump. I have a Medela pump in style and pump directly into these bottles, then add a nipple for daycare feedings.
