Tommee Tippii or Avent bottles and steralisers
Anyone got some feedback on the differences, best bits, worst bits of using either Avent or Tommee Tippii bottles and steralisers ?
My friend said stick to Avent as she thought they were really good. But I quite like the sound of the TT ones, anti colic valves etc.
Are they much and much the same ? MIL is goingt o buy them for me so I want to tell her exactly what to get or god knows what I'll end up with !! Thanks, S x

The electric breast pump is fab, and the storage system works really well.

ive got the cheap steriliser that does microwave or cold water and i love it.
its only ??15 and you get 3 bottles too. plus you can get milk storers that go inside the bottle for out and about which take up little space.
I'm sorry for taking over the post but am pretty confused.
Yeh, you do have to steralise again after 3 hrs technically. I think most sterilisers are the same though? For the first month or two we actually got up for the night feeds and sterilised the bottles as we needed them. After a while though we got fed up with all that and started making up bottles for during the night but just putting water in them and then adding the milk when we went to use the bottle. It saved time and effort not having to sterilise on demand! Officially you are not supposed to do that but we have had no problems doing it this way and HV said it was fine.
Hope this helps?

I used a Mothercare one when my daughter was born and it was very good, it can be used as electric, microwave or cold water sterilising. I also bought a Tommy Tippie one from Wilkinson's for ??12 and it comes with ??12 worth of bits inside (bottles, bottle brush, Milton tablets etc...), it is a cold water type one I bought to leave at my mum's so when ever I visited or stayed over I wouldn't be lugging one around.

I use tommee tipee and think they're great bottles. They're really good for newborns as the teats are flattened, like a boob lol. Whereas the avent teats seem quite bulky - we had a few boots bottles with similar teats - and my lo had trouble drinking from em when he was tiny.
Also my baby has never had colic
Hope that helps
