One point that I think has been lost in the discussion
on whether or not to get bottles for a breastfed baby
is (for lack of a better term) Mom's time out...

Bottles are a great way ;-) to feed expressed milk!
Dad gets a chance at feeding and Mom can go out
without having to be back in two hours to feed the baby.

I used Playtex disposable kind, it was easy to just
defrost some saved up milk and pour it in. I've heard
some that use the plastic inserts for freezing expressed
milk too.
