any advise on the best bottles to use when expressing milk? want to be able to switch between very easily and not sure what bottles & tests to get?

For most people it's a bit of trial and error I think. There were several my little one rejected before persevering with nuk bottles with a latex teat, meant to be more breast-like. What helped success for us was dad feeding when I wasn't in the house. When we tried with me hiding away she knew and got very angry!

Agree with above poster. bit of trial and error.we used medela calma with success from about 3 weeks old. baby has to really work for the milk with them like they would with the boob so that helped whilst still establishing feeding. however at 9 weeks old after doing a daily bottle since the start ds decided to refuse the calma so have since tried the nuk and Philips avent natutal also and he prefers these. so I would suggest trying a few different ones, persevering a bit, trying them at baby's happy times not during fussy periods and getting someone else to do it when you are not around.

We use NUK bottles here

We tried Tomee Tipew and Calma but DS didn’t like them

My LO switched between breastfeeding and MAM bottles really easily.
