My DF and I are both trying to figure out if our pumps will be compatible with glass Born Free bottles. I've tried searching online but am not sure, hoping you moms can help! She has an Avent Isis and I have a Medela PIS. Thanks!

Do the glass Born Free bottles use the same rings and nipples as the plastic ones? If so, Born Free makes an adapter that fits Medela pumps.

I think so, that looks perfect. I found a few reviews that say it works with the Medela but I'll have her call Born Free to see if it works with the Isis. Thank you!!

You're welcome! I wish this was out when I was pumping...I believe it is new within the last few months.
If the bottles that came with the Isis pump fit onto the Medela pump, then the adaptor will also work.Mom to a spirited, red-headed, former 28-weeker 10/2009 and a more mellow monkey 12/2013.

Did you have any luck with these? I found one review that said the adapters didn't work with the glass bottles, but only the plastic. She was perplexed though, because the other tops/caps/rings are interchangeable between glass and plastic Born Free bottles. Weird. I really want to use the glass ones with my Medela pump!

I ended up going with the plastic Born Free bottles so I should be able to use the adapter. Originally Posted by VelvetMarmoset

Are the Born Free bottles "standard" bottle size? If so, Avent sells an adapter kit for the Isis pump (which, btw, I lovelovelove so much with an unholy love). http://www.breastpumpsdirect.com/Ave..._Kit_p/245.htm
Ugh, wait. These allow me to pump into Avent bottles with my APY/Lansinoh pump. I do think there is a conversion kit out there, though.Michelle

The adapter works wonderfully with the BF glass bottles. I have a PIS, btw.

The adaptor works but the bottles get heavy, especially if you are using a hands free pump bra (which is the best!). I used to use smaller bottles and then transfer to the Born Free bottles.
