    I have always wanted to breastfeed. However, I get severe migraines and don't know how they will be after I give birth, so if I have to take meds I'll be bottle feeding. Any suggestions of registering, or do you think I should just wait to see what happens?

    I would suggest registering for several type of bottles either way bc you never know which ones the baby will prefer. 

    I recommend the Breastflow bottles in case you do end up breast feeding...

    But I would also get a couple other types with regular nipples, such as the Playtex ventaire (my son hated) or the Avent bottles. A lot of people use Dr Browns but they are expensive and I have heard that they are a pain to wash them because they have multiple pieces. 

    Just get a few of each and give them a try.

    We used Dr. Brown. They are expensive and a pain to wash but were the ONLY one she would drink from.

    I used playtex drop-ins http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2668176

    They were the best that I could find for keeping air out.  It's a bottle with a liner and you squeeze the air out through the nipple.  It was great for traveling, you just brought along a bottle of water, the formula, liners and bottle, no worrying about rinsing and cleaning afterwards.  If I don't BF this time around we'll use them again.  My son couldn't latch on to me or a bottle, he was tube fed for the first week, all the other bottles gave him gas from the air.

    I agree with registering for one or two of a few different bottles because you never know which ones your baby will like.  The ones I've heard the best things about are: Tommy Tippee bottles, MAM bottles, and Breastflow.  Personally, we use the Dr. Brown bottles, and I swear by them.  But I also just sanitize them in the dishwasher, so I've never had an issue with cleaning them.  :)
