So we have a lot of bottles right now and I plan on breastfeeding and pumping. But my bf cousin sent him a message on fb saying she has more bottle for us that she used to use on her kids and idk how I feel about my childish using bottles another child has already used  even tho it's been cleaned and what not. Any advice?!

I'm stay at home wife/mom and it will be breast feeding. We have about 8 to 12 bottles, I will be pumping 40% of time so my husband can experience feeding her as well.

There's nothing wrong with the actual bottle one it's sanitized and washed. I always replace the nipples on bottles never use used one's. You can just kindly let her know you don't need them right now you plan on breastfeeding but will keep her in mind if you need bottles.

No. U dont need a used bottle. Its not that valuable and it is unsanitary. Your welcome.

I didn't even use bottles but maybe once my son was 6 months when I first left him and even then he refused them. I even bought the ones that were for breastfef babies. From my experience breastfed babies don't like bottles. Then again it's good to have just incase it doesn't work out or you need to go out. Probably don't need that many lol

I'm slightly anemic too I didn't think about that. Try made me but iron pills cause my iron was low. I work at home so yea I'll be at home pretty much all the time with her. I have 9 bottles already and she is offering to send 15 -_- which is way to much lol.

Are you going to be staying home with baby? If so you'll rarely need bottles (unless baby needs supplementation). I exclusively breastfed and I had a grand total of maybe eight bottles, most of which were four oz or less. We rarely used them.

I have used bottles and replaced the nipples, they're my back up bottles in case I don't have time to wash the new ones one day, I breastfeed but I have to supplement with formula so my baby gets iron since I'm anemic

If you already have bottles just tell her that you really don't need more than like 6-9 bottles. But if she's one to get offended about stuff like that you could just take them and put them away she'll forget about them
