Bottles with Breast Milk??

Are the drop-ins usable for breast-milk? I am planning on BF'ing and I know that Avent makes a pump that you just attach the bottle bottom to and then screw on the cap... So I was planning on going with Avent bottles, but with all the leak issues that I've been hearing about... I know DH won't have the patience to deal with a leaky bottle.

This may be a stupid question but does it matter what type of bottle you use for breast milk?? Is there one that is better to use with it?

Sorry for all the questions...

If you're using the drop-ins, Playtex makes a Breastmilk Storage Kit.

BM Storage Kit

It works well with the Medela pumps, but I don't think it works with the Avent pump...you may need to check.

I used to pump directly into bottles with the ring adaptor in this kit. I also pumped into medela bottles and storage bags because I was producing more BM than DS needed.

This is good to know. I plan on using the drop ins for the breast milk that I pumped but I didn't know about this kit. I have been pumping into the Medela storage bags and freezing for now. I haven't used a bottle yet but plan on trying it soon.
