Do Avent Bottles Attach to Medela Pumps and Vice Versa?
My friend is giving me her Pump in Style Medela breast pump. Does anyone know if I am restricted to only attaching Medela bottles to the pump? I received Avent bottles at my shower and was wondering if I need to return the Avent bottles for Medela bottles. I'm pretty unfamiliar with how all of these bottles and the pump work. Thanks!

It has been 4 years since i used the pump but from what i remember, the Avent bottles did not fit especially if they are the wide mouth ones. However, any "regular" bottle will fit on the medela pump, like the gerber ones, those are the ones i used to pump and store then just put the milk in whatever bottle i wanted.

Yes, you just need the adapter: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=251906...

M.,
Just fyi ..I know the Dr. Brown's bottles fit. You would need the narrow bottle, not the wide mouth. This is so much easier than switching over. Sorry...not sure about Avent brand

I don't know about new models, but the one I had about 2 years ago only allowed for Medela bottles.

The avent bottles don't attach because they're too wide. The pump does come with little bottles you can pump into then pour into the avent bottles. What I didn't realize when I had my daughter is that not all babies like all bottles. My baby wouldn't take the Dr. Brown's bottles (which do fit Medela), but she did take the avent once we tried those.
