Can I buy a small size and then some large replacement sacs and just insert them into the same holder as baby grows? Like buying nipples and bottles.

I bought the large...large isnt too large..My baby is 9 months now...and he hates it if I take it away from him to refill. I would recommend getting the larger one. I dont know if the holes are smaller on the small one. I bought it when my son was 8 months old and he did just fine.

Yes, I used it for my newborn with the insert. Now at 8 months were still using. I think she'll be out of it by a year. I am very happy with my purchase.

Don't be sorry. It's all overwhelming because there are so many products that offer so many different things!! YES, technically this is just a storage set. However - if you CHOOSE to use Medela Bottles for feeding, they make nipples that attach to these storage bottles. But .. no need to specifically choose bottles for that reason. There are TONS of bottles out there.

One more thing....if you are just now ordering replacements for you kit be aware of the 2 oz bottles. They are WAY too big for most of us and will have to be discarded before you are ab,e to use them up. I made that mistake. Go for the small bottles

Measure the inserts you currently have. Then compare it to measurements previously posted regarding this same item. Look under "Customer Questions and Answers" for this product. For what it is worth, to my knowledge there are no other replacement inserts available.

It depends on the width of the opening and the height of the bottle. I use the 4oz Ameda bottles that come with the breast pumps and Parents Choice bottles.

There is an insert accessory for newborns that can be purchased to use with the tub. When we got this tub, I was curious if our $10 infant bath sling from Babies 'R Us would fit into it, and it did.

I pumped but you could hand express and mix and either cup feed or syringe feed. It's such a small amount you could mix with water too. If baby is on solids you could mix with that too.

I would agree with trying different brands as every baby is different. But these and grovia shells with soaker pads are my favourite. My baby is quite slim around the hips and thighs so these are the slimest fits out there. In the first few months you can go through a lot of nappies every day. I reckon if you can get 2 uses out of each shell with changing the inserts, you should look at a least 16 shells and 32 inserts to start. The mistake I made with cloth diapering is that I bought a lot of brands on recommendations but unfortunately some did not suit my baby. Take it easy and build your stash slowly over a few months.

Yes this is just the storage set. I think the skinnier set will turn into bottles if you buy more parts, but I use different bottles that I felt mimicked breastfeeding better. Personal preference though.

From day 1 I mixed up the inserts and they all work the same. After a few hours just like a disposable, u had better change the diaper. The large size will serve u better for future use.

Yes, I had nipples from other companies ( e.g. Born) that could easily attach to this bottle's top. You might have to replace the top part after while if your baby will be tossing the bottle out of crib as our child did.

We put pacifiers in the middle basket if we have room so you should be able to do the same with breast pump parts if they can be microwaved

Good question . . . I assumed from Amazon or the manufacturer. If not I hope it's a common size available through a trade related site or nursery supply.

Never tried that. I use the breastmilk storage bags and medela bottles for that. Good idea though and probably would work. I would check with the manufacturer

there is no need for an additional disposable diaper if you use 2 of these reusable ones. but you might take the next lager size if you are planning to. my son was about the same size and height then yours and the medium still fits him.

They have a kit to do this - it's awesome. I think this is it: Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)There is also an adapter to pump directly into the bags.
