Can you use these bottles with other brands of breast pumps (i.e. Medela)?

this was a gift for my daughter so I really do not know other than she loved them

You can, but you'll need one of these:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005BXEY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1385078252&sr;=8-1π=SY200This set comes w/ 4 adapters: 2 of each that convert medela to the avent, and 2 that convert medela to what is, I believe, via cups. (Haven't used those, just the avent ones. They work fine).

Avent sells an adapter that connects their bottles to a medela breast pump. I have a Medela pump in style and pump directly into these bottles, then add a nipple for daycare feedings.

I don't think they can be used to attach to other pumps, but you can certainly pump milk with your usual pump and then pour it into these containers for storage!

Yes! I have the pump in style advanced in these fit mine. The great thing about Medela is old or new, everything pretty much fits!

There is one that I've seen made for wide neck bottles (and comes w/one) that should fit these bottles. It is Nurtria brand. There is also a conversion kit that can be used with a regular manual breast pump that allows you to attach the wide neck bottles, Avent is the brand. Both run about $13 here on Amazon. I have not tried either but I'm sure either would work out fine; the conversion kit means more parts to wash though. Hope this helps!

Yes. I love my set. I use a Medela myself. The bags are cheaper than medela bags. The adapter set in the starter will work for all pumps. I specifically know about Medela because mine is a medela pump. I buy starter sets as showergifts for anyone who plans to breastfeed.

I have screwed the bottles onto my Medela Pump in Style and it has worked just fine. I used the regular pump in style.

No these bottles do not fit onto the Medela pump, I pump into Medela bottles and pour into these.

Yes they work with the Medela pump. I pump into those to cut down on how many bottles I wash a day. :-)

No. Wierd enough, Medela, the breastmilk-pumps specialists are selling horrible nipples.Either move to Calma which fits the Medela bottle, and is actually one of the best, if not the best, nipple available for breastmilk bottle-feeding.Or, switch to another bottle and nipple (you'll have to pass the milk from the pump's bottle to the other).I used the second solution, and moved to MAM's bottles and nipples. Didn't regret that decision.

Born free sells an adapter that fits the wide neck bottle and screws into the bottom of most breast pumps. I've used the adapter with Medela and Ameda pumps. The only complaint on my end is the glass bottles can be heavy while your're pumping and they're not ideal to store milk; I used them only for non-freezing or I used the plastic bottles.

Yes, these bottles are standard size and they perfectly fit in your medela pump manual breast. I used both products and I am very familiar with both products

I have never used Avent breast pump so I'm not sure. But I think Avent and medela bottles are different in size of the collar :)

Hi David. These bottles have wide open, só it will not fit the medula pumps, or other pump, but the AVENT. But, if you use the Philips AVENT BPA Free Standard Breast Pump Conversion Kit, you can use it whith the medela and almost every pump with these bottles. You can find here in Amazon. That is how I use it, and they work very well.

Yes. The bottles and screw tops are compatible. If you really liked your Medela, though, you might be severely disappointed in this pump. I switched from Medela to the Simplisse, and it was torture. They may have made improvements since I bought mine last year, and there's no doubt their customer service was good, but the pump itself is weak and inconsistent, whereas the Medela was much more reliable.

Yes, I have used them with my Ameda Purely Yours. I have also used them with a Medela Pump in Style and both worked well with the Pumpin Pals attachments.

I guess it depends on your pumping machine. If they fit then yes you can. I had the medela one and i pumped directly to their bottle and then store it in the Dr Browns bottles. I found it easier this way since the medela bottles are the right ones for that machine but also to be sure that i did not mess with the pumping process.

I use medela bottles with ameda pump, so I am sure these bottles would work with medela pump!

No. You can use Medela nipple (or other brands, I'm sure), or you can get one time use nipple on Amazon.
