What connects bottles Medela Pump in other than the brand Medela bottles? I just wanted to know if I could buy everything cheaper bottles that attatch to Medela breast pump and I have no leaks.
Its fine if all that I can use is the brand Medela ... Just hoped maybe I could do a better term than the cost of one arm and a leg if I did not do.
I have used Evenflo glass bottles with my Medela pump, and they work hard. They are fairly cheap, and not worry about BPA or pthalates. I also used bottles of Gerber, Nuby, and Dr. Brown. Roughly a bottle with an opening sized factory top with Medela pumps. The bottle that I can think of that is not compatible with Medela pumps would Advent, because they have a larger mouth than most brands. Good luck.
The bottles are really cheap generic research (I do not know how else to describe it) will probably be necessary. I have a few bottles of breast milk storage generic hospital in a gift bag and they fit my Medela pump. In reality, you only need a couple of bottles anyway, once the milk is pumped you can put in bags or other container storgae.
Medela bottles are very expensive!
I do not know what else will fit. Sorry I'm no better help! Have you tried eBay?
