Most Helpful Reviews on Medela Breast Milk Bottle

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars(5/5) – 2/2/2011 – I bought these because I needed to be able to pump more than 12 oz at a time at work. It is a little harder to read the numbers because they are molded plastic rather than contrasting paint, but this isn’t a problem for me. The bottles still fit (with a little wrangling) in the bag that came with the Freestyle pump…. (read more and buy it at Amazon.com)
  • 5.0 out of 5 stars(5/5) – 9/23/2012 – … Great bottles. My daughter is still using them and the breast pump on her second baby. The bottle nipples are the only thing that do not survive a complete set of teeth!!! (read more and buy it at Diapers.com)

  • 1.0 out of 5 stars(1/5) – 6/29/2011 – I’ve had these for ten months and been very happy with them until recently. I had four wide based nipples/rings and within two weeks, all four of the rings cracked…. (read more and buy it at Target.com)
  • 1.0 out of 5 stars(1/5) – 4/30/2011 – …  Nipple gets squished in LO’s mouth I always have to pull bottle/nipple out of mouth to get air to recirculate through the bottle, which only takes 2 sec, but gets annoying every few minutes. I practically have to do this 3-4 times during a feeding. Bc of it, it also leaks. PROS: not many parts to clean, so easy…. (read more and buy it at Babiesrus.com)
