How many bottles did you buy/need for your newborn?

i had six i think, when theyre a newborn its nessasary because my son was feeding so often id have to be washing bottles all the time

I had 13 or 15 they were all gifts but I really only ever used the MAM ones, if you get the set you get 3 5oz bottles and 3 10oz bottles and they last for ages

We had 2 bottles x she only had one bottle of expressed milk a day and rest breast . We then slowly started giving her more expressed milk so we got 2 more bottles . Now she is 5 months , lost my supply and she is on formula . We have 6 bottles and it’s more than enough . She drinks about 6/7 bottles a day and then she sleeps from 7 till 7 am

6 is a good number. But some sterilisers that you can put in the microwave can take 6 so many 7 or 8 incase you need while the others are being sterilised. Bare in mind you will probably loose 1 here and there. My son used to love throwing things out of the pram

I got some mam ones as he didn't like the Tommy tippee ones I got 😅 also thr mam ones can be sterilised individually

I’ve got 6 small (5oz) and 6 medium (9oz) all anti colic tommee tippee, you don’t need small ones I just find them adorable 🤣

I have 10 small (5oz), and 15 large (9oz), we opted to be slightly over prepared perhaps than panic that we don’t have enough or things aren’t sterilised etc. We just want to buy ourselves a little grace 🥹

You don’t necessarily even need the little ones. 8 is a good amount however we just went straight to the bigger ones for both our children to save buying all the different sizes!

Thinking about it after reading Bec's comment, the only thing you'd need in different sizes are the teats/nipples/whatever they're called... and they're easy to swap out

We breast feed and give him a bottle of expressed milk before bed, we have two 4oz bottles and two 8oz bottles and he’s 5 months and we still use the 4oz bottles

I think it was somewhere around 8

I got 15x 5oz, 20x 9oz 🤣 🙄 But that's because we were given them as presents or had from my partners other children

I had 6 on the go x

I had loads with my first girl in different sizes but I just kept 4 for my second baby. All MAM, 2 of the 6oz ones and 2 9oz ones. It’s been fine. We use both sizes as I combi feed too. A smaller bottle if he’s been on the boob and wants a top up. A bigger boob if he’s not had boob.

I have 8 (4 oz) and 8 (8oz) my son is 2 months and still uses the 4 oz bottles. Unless it’s night time and I give him a little more breastmilk. Bug even then he’ll only drink 4 oz

I bought 6 smaller and 6 bigger

I had 4 6oz bottles and thats all I ever needed, now he's onto sippy cups.

I got 4 4oz bottles and 4 8oz bottles but just started using the 8oz bottle at 4 months

We have 12 and that works for us

4 small and 4 big.
