I am going to try and breastfeed and I am wondering what bottles moms have found that work best for storing breast milk and for feedings? I have read some great reviews for the Avent bottles. I purchased the Madela pump - my goodness they are expensive! The Madela bottles are BPA free, but others have come out with BPA free bottles too. So, mommies...if any of you have products to recommend, please share. Thanks!

I use the Playtex system
When I was breastfeeding I didn't use bottles for the first 6 weeks. I liked the Avent system, because the pump thing attached to the bottles and it was no transferring of milk from container to container. I also had an overabundant supply with my first one, and I pumped when I should not have and made it worse trying to get some relief. If you are overfilled, get a cabbage leaf out of the fridge and put it on there - but only for 15 minutes.

Try not to use bottles to begin with (first few weeks). I found that the baby needed to figure out breast feeding before I introduced the bottle. With my first child I use the Playtex system and with my second child I used the Avent system. Both worked great!
I have the Medela pump in style and have used the Gerber bottles (the cheap ones) to store milk in. They attach nicely to the pump and then I attached the medela nipple to the Gerber bottles, as all my medela bottles leaked horribly. And all Gerber is BPA free.
