how many bottles did everyone get? I am going to breastfeed so I assume I don't need that many????

I just got two in case I need to express.. and a really cheap manual pump. I hardly used mine when I was breastfeeding.

a have a bit of both around 12 i think in all ill be formula feeding but im thinking maybe i need another set for any of u formula feeding how many bottles would u need?

I formula fed DD and I had quite a few. But it would really depend on how often you could wash them. If you did dishes frequently and stayed at home, you wouldn't need as many. I know it would change as they ate more and fewer times a day. 12-15 sounds like a good amount.

I bought a 3 pack of 5oz tommee tippee bottles but then I went to Marshalls (my fave store!) and they had a 3 pack of tommee tippee bottles for sensitive stomach with a special contraption in it and they were only 7.99! In Babies R Us they are like 18 bucks!!! So, I figured even if baby doesn't have a sensitive stomach, I could use them, right???

I am thinking I am going to need to buy another package!!! Good thing I still have a credit at Babies R us!

I always go to Ross or Marshalls to see if they have what I'm looking for there, and if they don't, only then do I go to the stores hahahahaha.

With the boys, I think we only had like 6 bottles each

I had my dr appointment today and he asked when I was scheduled again. I said New Year's Eve. He said, "Oh yeah, That's right." I asked if anything can be done about it and he said if someone goes into labor before theirs (assuming that I don't go before mine), they'll call me. So essentially, I've been wait listed!

Had my group B strep test, doppler, measurement, peed in a cup and was on my way. I'm at the going every week stage now!

Just bought some really cute jammies at Carter's for $8 each!! I got 3 for baby and 1 each for the boys. They are regular price like $32!!!

I have 6 Tommy Tippee, One Avent, and a few Playtex. I am going to see what baby likes before buying a bunch of them. Some babies won't use certain bottles and nipple types and I certainly don't want to spend a fortune on them only to have the baby not use them.

I have heard taking a trip to babysrus with a new baby can be pretty therapeutic. They have a nursing area and everything you need. Since the US ladies are delivering in the winter, I think I will plan a series of small shopping trips with baby to get out of the house. I am planning on getting some things after birth once I figure out what else I need. I refuse to let myself be trapped in the house - I will go crazy!!!

yea i am not breastfeeding which is why i got a bunch of bottles... plus i can premake formula for the first month thatll last 2 days in the fridge.. i have to boil the water before hand, let it cool, add in formula, put in bottles, and put in fridge.

 

[jrowenj]

I am really really really not wanting to breast feed... I feel like I should try it though... ughh

Don't feel bad if you don't want to. Don't let the "breast is best" push you to doing something you really don't want to. Feeding your baby is all that is important ... doesn't matter whether it is from you or from formula! It won't make you less because you didn't want to.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

tommee tippees were buy one get one free at babies r us, the 3 packs, so i hit that sale up on black friday! and i got a pack of each at my baby shower.. it was nice!

 

[AJThomas]

Got baby's bag packed so just mine left now, got DH to help me so I didn't have to bend as much.

I feel like I have a million bottles and nipples, my MIL gave us about 3dozen of them although I plan to EBF for a while so a lot of them (or all of them) might not get used. I'll just give the unused ones back to her and she can put them up in case my BIL ever finds someone to settle down with and has kids.

Just read so much that I've forgotten half of it!

I put my name on the card for the secret Santa, so it's not really secret Sent it on Tuesday, but have no idea how long it'll take to arrive Hope it gets there ok & the recipient isn't too disappointed.

Can't wait to get mine!

Nikki - Are you feeling all better now?

Kaiecee - Sorry about your house

The letting agent is conducting viewings on our place now, which is a pain as I'm trying to pack everything up, entertain DS, see friends who we'll be moving away from & keep the place looking like a show home for prospective tennants. I hope someone takes it straight away!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I'm planning on expressing just so hubby and little man have that bonding time too. So thats pretty much why I got bottles.
