BTDT Pumping Question
A co worker is selling me her used once Medela Freestyle Breast Pump ... only read great things about it so I jumped at the chance when the price was right
Now my question
I was going to use Advent bottles .... do I have to pump ONLY into the medela bottles? Do Advents fit on the medela pump?
I was going to store some breast milk in those plastic bags so I figured I would pump into a bottle and pour it into the bag
Anything you can share will be a huge help ... I am so confused
Thank you

I only pumped into medela products. The storage containers and bottles and then just transferred to the dr brown bottles.

I pumped into me deal bottles and capped them at work. When I got home I made up the twins playtex bottles. I would not use the bags unless i was freezing milk.

Same here this is how I do it now. Pump into medela bottles at work and once I'm home I make up the Playtex drop in bottles for DD

I pump into the Medela bottles and use the Lansinoh bottles to freeze. I always freeze my milk and use the oldest milk in the freezer.

You can use any bottle you want after you pump milk into a bottle that will fit your pump flange

Avent sells a breast pump conversion kit that will make you able to pump directly into Avent bottles.

This -- and sometimes I would pump directly into storage bags. Most frequently I would pump into Playtex's Storage bags for the drop-ins.
