We did this already

We planned to use drop in's but Ty has always hated the nipple, so when we got home I bought a BUNCH of used bottles on e-bay, the evenflo comfi ones. They came complete...we HATE washing bottles...so I did have a good bunch of bottles/ Then we got bottles as gifts, and Ty hated them all, so I rounded them all up and brought them all to BRU, and got my credits...$68.98 worth of bottles. Well the BPA free bottles that Ty likes are the evenflo ones, and they are 2.99 for 3. I don't need that many bottles! So we bought 5 packs of the large (15 bottles), 5 packs of the small (15 bottles to be packed away for another baby), 2 packages of the BPA free Dr. Browns (packed away), a 3 pack of the larger size drop-ins (since we have all the small ones, maybe the next kid will like them) and a 2 packs of the Nubby no drip bottles, 3 large 3 small. Given that I paid about $15.00 for all the bottles I got on ebay, we made out like bandits They even took back the Soothie bottles that I bought at Walmart. I did have about 4 bottles that I couldn't return because I had no cover, and I guess I could have bought a package of covers and put them on and go the credits, but we walked out with almost 45 bottles, and it was a PROCESS....mostly cause I had a bunch of different kinds. I figured that 45 bottles is enough for Ty and the next kid, so we called it a day. Call your BRU in advance though. Some (like mine) will take anything, but some are only taking certain brands. Dr. Browns being one of them.

I did this about 2 weeks ago, and I thought everyone knew about this...sorry, I guess I should have posted

Good Luck
