OK - Here are some probably stupid questions from an inexperienced mom...
My daughter is almost 3 weeks old and I have been using my Ameda Purely Yours pump occasionally when necessary. I have been pumping into the little bottles that came with the pump and dumping the milk into Lansinoh freezer bags. If I want to feed her a bottle of frozen milk, I will then need to dump thawed milk into a bottle. So, now the milk has been in 3 different containers? Right? I am convinced that there has to be an easier way.
Now, if I wanted to feed her the milk directly instead of freezing it - are there nipples that I can attach directly to the bottles that I am pumping into? Or do I dump it into a different bottle?
We want to introduce a bottle this weekend, so I have a couple Playtex nurser bottles and an Avent bottle to see what she will take - but neither nipple seems to fit on the Ameda bottles.
The new Avent Via system seems pretty efficient, but their pump conversion kit does not say it is compatible with the Ameda pump. Has anyone used it?
