I'm trying to decide which bottles to register for, there are so many. I'm planning to breastfeed but will need to also use a bottle when the baby goes to daycare.
Any recommendations? Has anyone used Tommee Tippee?

I used Avent in the beginning with Sophia and then switched over to the Medela bottles that came with my pump. With Collin we have only used the Medela and he goes back and forth just fine.
We use the Tommy Tippee sippy cups and like them, but I haven't tried the bottles.
I second the recommendation for wide bottles, whatever brand you get.
I didn't register for any because I didn't have any clue. My cousin had a baby 4 months before I did and tried just about every bottle there is, so she sent me one of each to try. Until we picked one, I just stuck a nipple on the Medela bottles that I pumped into.
We ended up buying the Nuk bottles. I think it helped that the nipples were the same shape as his pacifier. They also didn't tend to drip as bad if he left one laying. Not terribly expensive either.
We had some Dr. Brown's wide ones, too. While they were fine and I really didn't mind cleaning all the parts, the nipple was too flexible and if he pushed the bottle out of his mouth, milk would go spraying everywhere.
We used Dr. Browns with no issues. I know a lot of people say 'the baby picks the bottle' but we never really had issues with any that we tried. Seemed like it was 6 one way, half dozen the other.
So wow, halfway there! Are you going to find out the gender? I'm nosey
