Medela worked great for us. I wanted something simple and that was it. I could pump into it, store, heat and feed all in the same bottle and baby had no issues with the nipples. This time I’m using dr brown nipples with it though. The great thing is it’s a standard ring so you can try a lot of different nipples if there is an issue.

I used different bottles the entire time my favorite was tommie tippy, neither of my girls I breast fed ever got nipple confusion, my lactation nurse said it’s rare for it to actually happen.

We decided we wanted 1)daddy bonding time, 2)I needed more sleep than under 2 hrs at a time So, we give him 1 bottle each night since he was 2.5 weeks old. I was so worried about nipple confusion but the odds of that occurring is actually less than 5% in babies. That being said we still went with Avent natural size 0 nipples with a slow flow. We also use the smoothie pacifiers. He has had no problem switching between these two and breastfeeding (I exclusively breast feed on demand except the 1 bottle feeding) and we are all much happier with him soothing with a pacifier some than my boob 24/7.

My daughter did great with Avent Naturals. I took her off the bottle at a year old but we’re still nursing.

Avent Natural.

Brands like tippee tommee and nuk have nipple that mimic the feel and design of a nipple
