Medela® 5 oz. Breastmilk Bottle

I like this system. I dislike that the whole system has to be purchased in order to replace the nipple but it makes sense given it’s a controllable flow system. If only the nipple and flow system piece were less than buying it with the bottle. I’m sure I’d give it a 5 star rating if it were more economical in price. I first tried this about 7 years ago with my third child and decided to get some for baby four. I did purchase another brand for when baby starts holding the bottle on her own. These only last about 3 months before they need to be replaced.

We have used the wide based nipples for Medela bottles for about 2 weeks. When the babies (twins) drink from it the nipple turns in on itself. Probably due to lack of return air. This makes it really easy for the nipple to come loose from the cap. Which makes for easy spilling. Previously we used the bottles with narrow nipples, and the cap was able to hold the nipple on securely. I like the light weight plastic bottles, because the babies can hold it themselves.

I’m pretty pleased so far. I wanted to start introducing a bottle for when baby goes to daycare but any other bottle/nipple I’ve tried pours milk out way too fast and she chokes. She is still getting the hang of it but so far this Medela slow flow nipple works the best!

Terrible. Don't waste your money. My baby chokes all the time. Is not a slow pace feeding set at all.

I pump the largest volume in the mornings since I have stopped the 3am and 5am pumping session so that I can sleep longer. These bottle allow me to pump longer without having to stop and change out the smaller bottles due to them filling so quickly.

Only bought 2 bottles and opened one to try after the recommendation. The issue of excess milk coming out as nipple removed from baby’s mouth. After trying a few days i decided this was not working. Trying another brand that is working perfectly. Need to return for refund as these are not cheap.

I have 16 of these bottles and with almost all of them the collars don’t latch on correctly. When they don’t align it causes the milk to shoot out. Sometimes the collar even pops off. Please help!

I purchased the set of 3-5oz bottles with nipples. We use the calma nipples which we really like but I was hoping to switch to a lower maintenance, less expensive option that was still compatible with our bottles. Unfortunately, my son didn't care for these and hind milk clogged them more often than the calma. Since the nipples didn't work out, I was hoping to at least use the bottles for pumping (with Symphony) and feeding with the calma but the bottoms warped when they were sterilized (using the same steam method we used on all the other medela bottles/accessories we've purchased that all turned out fine) so they are now unuseable. This set was a waste of money for us.
