Steriliser advice please
in Baby
Hello there,
I'm thinking of getting this http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_140_10751_-1_14052_36822_10001_14052 but wanted to check what you thought, as seasoned mums! I have a microwave but the idea of using milton also appeals due to it being low hassle - is this right, or is steam actually better?
I'm hoping to breastfeed but was thinking it'd be sensible to get a few bottles in, just in case and for expressed milk when baby's a few weeks old.
Thanks very much ladies!

Why don't you just buy a steam steraliser rather than one you have to put the microwave? I've had an avent one for 9 months now and as long as you descale them regularly with the stuff they are fine, all they take is a few drops of water and plug in for less than 10minutes.
I can get 6 big bottles, dummies and spoons in mine in one go.
there's a link to one here http://www.ciao.co.uk/Avent_Electric_Steam_Steriliser__54964
Also, my advice is to be aware that these freebie bottles are generally small 4 oz bottles and babies tend to get little guzzlers very quickley, my boy was only on 4 oz for a few weeks then went up to 5/6, now he's 9 months he's on 9oz so you need the big bottles cause the little ones just don't cut it for long
happy pregnancy
