The Symphony by Medela is a really nice pump. In addition, it even comes with a portable pump for your purse. You can pump both breasts at the same time. Its electric.
Pumping after feedings and often will increase your milk production and allow you to get some milk stored up, while still satisfying your baby.
For bottles, I recommend to my clients the standard, 4 oz. glass bottles because glass is a great and they warm from cold quicker and then they hold the warmth longer, so baby enjoys the luke warm milk.
Evenflo 4 oz glass bottles. (Not wide-mouth)
Gerber 3 prong brown latex nipples (also the standard, not wide)
These are great and at a great price.
Or, a more sophisticated but expensive bottle comes from Dr. Brown. Great bottles. Get the standard opening on top with small lid not wide mouth openings. .
For a two-week old, 2 ozs to 3 1/2 oz feedings are the norm with burping about 3 different times. The most challenging part with newborns is to keep them alert and awake during feedings. If you can do that and get your feeding done in 30 mins. baby will not wear out and fall asleep before getting a full feeding.
