Reusing Playtex Drop Ins Liners

Since I was laid off I have been coming up with little ways to save some money here and there. We use the Playtex Drop Ins system with my 5 month old. It occured to me one day, there's nothing on the packaging or directions that says you cannot reuse the liners. They're expensive and we go through them fast (baby's a champ eater). I wash them very well with soap, water and the bottle brush, let them air dry and reuse them for about a week or 2 and then swap them out for new ones.

Bottle Suggestions for Breastfed Baby

My 2 month old has been nursing all this time and I'm going back to work in one month and want to have him get used to bottles. I'm not having great success.

Need a Better Bottle...

I have using the Playtex Ventaire Bottle Stage 1 and they seem to get "clogged" very easily. My 2 months takes FOREVER to drink a bottle. I tried switching to Stage 2, but she is drowning in formula...literally! I've also tried the Soothie brand of bottles, Stage 1 and these also leak everywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for a better bottle, or ideas to make feeding easier and not so messy! ALSO, when do you start ceral feedings, I forgot from my first daughter!

Anyone Hear Anything About Playtex Breastpumps?

I know that I have had overwhelming results saying Medella is the best and I have been researching the best price. At Target there is one for $129 but is not recommended for daily use so if I am going to get one, it will probably be the pricier ones. However I have come across one from Playtex that is new. Anyone know anything about this one??? Thanks everyone for your responses!
