Hi! I would go with 125ml bottles, as they cna last a lot longer than 60ml bottles. I personally only used 3 bottles and wash them regularly. I only added bottles later when I started solo caregiving and would like to have more bottles on rotation. Also, I didn't find that a bigger bottle makes baby more gassy. Just make sure to burp well. Sometimes I burp mid-feed too, when my baby has gas she becomes fussy mid-feed. I do paced bottle feeding so my bottle is actually placed horizontally and only half the teat is filled.

I bought 4 x 125ml bottles and 2 x 60ml bottles. But to be honest, my baby only used the 60ml for the first 2 weeks. So I think there's not much point in getting them.

I go straight for the 125ml for cost saving and also cos they will drink more eventually. Also need to change bottles every 4-6 mths so don't need to buy too many

Go with the 125ml cos nb only use the 60ml for a while probably 1-2 wks only then their milk intake will increase. Maybe you can just buy 1 for that size. Always remember to tilt the bottle when feeding so baby will not suck in air no matter small or big the bottle is and always burp baby after feeding. Hope it helps 😊
