How many bottles for expressing?

[lucy101]

Hi there - am thinking a little way ahead as still not had the baby but could anyone give me advice about how many bottles I might need to express.

I know things don't always go to plan but I am intending to BF but would need to start expressing in a month or so as I have to attend some short meetings about work I finished before ML. I am thinking I would like to use the "Breast Flow" bottles and have two already but while I have time on my hands perhaps I should get some more in... and a steriliser (have been given a pump).

A steriliser is not absolutely necessary but may be useful. 2 bottles sounds plenty. Even if the baby is feeding a lot, that will cover 3 hours or so and they can be washed up and reused as well.

I'd be tempted to see how it goes, you can always order them quickly if you need to.

Thanks so much azazello - will take your advice and just get a couple!
