Re: pumping ?
 for wanting to express it yourself! My hand would cramp up!  Alot of people are having good luck with the Nuk bottle, especially if you already give the Nuk pacifier or one very similar. It seems to mimic the breast well.

You lucky girl you!! Although I'm sure at times it's and  .
I would still go with one more like the breast. Nuk just seemed great. If DC has a problem with gas, then try one of the other ones like Dr. Browns or Born Free. We use Born Free and love it, even though she only gets one expressed bottle at night, but she never has a problem.

Not sure which bottle so suggest since DC never took to my milk in a bottle sip cup and never a pacifier. I would express the milk before you go out not refriderate or freeze. Expressed milk can stay out a few hours at room temperarture and be fine. I have quite a knack for milk expression too

I use avent bottles.
I also tried the adiri bottle which is very similar to the breast.
good luck!

Good Luck expressing the milk yourself. I pumped and used the Medela. I was told not to even bother with the cheap pumps because they don'y work well. You can rent a Medela too so you don't have to spend a lot of money.
Dr. brown was our favorite bottle.

Re: pumping/bottle ?
The Adiri bottle is most similar to the breast, and if I'm not mistaken is BPA free as well. I have used the Evenflo glass bottles w/o a problem for Kristina - she loves them.
As far as the bags... Go to BRU, and buy the Lansinoh storage bags for breast milk. They are very easy to use and have a double zipper lock so that there is no concern of freezer burn or leakage in the freezer.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

It doesn't have the bags but I would just express into the bottle itself-don't bother with freezing. You can always pop it in the fridge.
