can formula be used with this bottle set or just breastmilk?

Formula can be used with this bottle set. The bottle is made to mimic breast feeding naturally. It is not gravity fed like most bottles. The baby must suck to express milk like the breast. It greatly helps with decreasing air while feeding. If you are going to formula feed with this bottle make sure the formula is mixed well then poured into the bottle. Good luck and enjoy.

You can def. use it for formula but they get tired faster because they have to work at sucking, I recommend the regular medium flow nipples for formula.

I only bought one because unfortunately my baby wouldn't drink this formula. I ended up donating it to his daycare. Sorry. Wish I could help.

This is infant formula for babies. Description stated "For breastfeeding moms who choose to introduce formula." Referring to moms who previously or currently breastfed and now introducing formula to their baby.

Yes, bottle and nipple. The nipple was a little long for our 2 month old. He ended up getting use to a cheap nipple and bottle while we waited on his mouth to grow longer. I really wanted him to use it because it is most like a nipple and fits the pumping system...but baby rules and no go.

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

As other reviewers have noted (and it's my understanding too), Baby's Only calls this a "toddler formula" because they want to advocate for breastfeeding for the first year (which I find a little insulting since I planned and tried desperately to breastfeed but couldn't, but that's another story...). Since they call it "toddler formula" it must be fine for toddlers. If it weren't, they'd be guilty of false advertising.

You can pretty much put whatever you want your baby to try. I have been using just ice in mine as my baby is 4months and is teething already!

I only use the powdered formula. I use them everyday. I put the water in the bottles and the formula in containers.

Maggie...you can't, because you can't add your warm breast milk to cold breast milk (so I've read). What I do if I have a bag I want to fill more is I pump into a bottle, then put that in the fridge to cool and then when they are the same temperature in the fridge, dump the contents of the bottle into the bag.

It depends on the width of the opening and the height of the bottle. I use the 4oz Ameda bottles that come with the breast pumps and Parents Choice bottles.

Yes absolutely! You just can't use the bottle to measure, but i always premade my formula in a container, and used just a regular bottle to measure it out. I would snap the cap on the bottom of the bottle as i filled it until i screwed the nipple on and closed it. This made it sturdY and the bag would not hang out...it was almost like an 8oz bottle. And it was much easier getting the air out with the 4oz bottles too..

I don't really know about ready to feed. I would think no. Doesn't seem like you could just leave warm formula sitting around all day. I know a made powder formula bottle is only good for an hour.

You can add them to formula or food, but if your baby tends to leave a bit of liquid in the bottle or food in the bowl you might not be confident that s/he got it all -- and for the price, you want to get it all in your baby.

Sure, I don't see why not. I prefer it plain, but then I drink almost all of my teas (hot and cold) plain. You may want to stay away from adding milk if your baby has any issues with dairy proteins.

Absolutely mixes as well. With some formula types there may be some clumps left and require a little mixing. But with similac advance it mixes perfectly, I just make the bottle in the machine, put the top on and I'm feeding my baby. Amazing time saver.

We used six bottles I beleive. But we also supplemented with formula. So it really depends how much you are going to be pumping. Hope that helps.
