what kind of bottles do you bring?

[alyssa810]

Our DS is both formula and breastfed; we were trying to decide which kind of bottles to bring, the "regular" ones I use with my pump, or our drop-ins. What kind of bottles do you bring? We were thinking that the drop-ins might be easier; less washing, even though I sometimes like the "regular" ones better...any thoughts or suggestions?

If you (and DS) like the regular bottles better, I'd just stick with those. You'll have to wash the nipples anyway, so it won't be a big deal to wash the bottle at the same time. The drop-in liners would just be one more thing for me to overpack because I'd worry about running out.

For our dd's we used regular bottles although I will admit its kinda hard washing baby bottles in the bathroom sink in a hotel room so I have decided next time we are bringing the disposable bottles for dd4. I do how ever agree w/ the pp if you prefer the regular bottles bring them just don't for get your bottle brush.

I also try to pump at least once a day or more...do you think it's worth it to bring my pump? we're only going for 4 days, but I'm just not that good at nursing away from home (or the hotel room), and I'll need to get milk out somehow

I haven't breastfed long enough to be able to be any advice for you other than do you have or have you used a manual pump if you don't do it often and you think that would be easier to bring just in case you need it. If you don't care for the manual pump just bring your regular pump.
