    Default Which Glass Bottles Compatible with Medela Freestyle?

    I bought a Medela Freestyle breast pump and I'd like to avoid transferring the breastmilk by pumping directly into a bottle. I am having difficulty researching to find out what glass bottles will attach directly to the Freestyle pump. Even Medela's glass bottles do not appear compatible with the Freestyle for some reason (Medela Glass Bottles Press Release | Medela store states "Not for use with the [...] FreestyleŽ breastpump[s]")

    Any other Freestyle users use glass bottles?

    Also, my preference is to use glass bottles NOT made in China.

    The Freestyle has standard connections on it; you can use basically any "regular" bottle with it. I used Medela plastic bottles and cheap Gerber bottles with mine.

    My guess is they recommend not using glass bottles with the Freestyle because they are too heavy to use when pumping hands free and will break the seal between the breast and shield.

    Oh, one more thing. I don't use the hands-free thing they provide with the Freestyle. I use the Easy Expressions bustier instead.
