nipples that fit old medela collars

[HoneybeeWaterfall]

I will be returing to work in a few weeks and wanted to only buy some new nipples to go with my existing substantial amount of medela gear but I read that their new nipples need new collars.

I would rather get a different brand of nipples and not generate more waste. Does anyone know if something else fits?

Thanks!

You can still order the older style nipples/bottles if that's what you would prefer. I recently placed an order through mybreastpumpdotcom for Medela pump tubing/membranes just to keep an extra set at work. The price was reasonable for me and the shipping was FAST. I believe you would be looking for the 2008 bottle style and they've got a whole page of different pieces you can purchase to replace your worn out parts.

Don't the Medela bottles use "standard" nipples and collars, that fit with evenflo or Babies R Us brand or any other brand of standard nipples? I used the nuk with DS.
