I bought the Avent electrical steriliser, because it seemed good value for money, and also the Avent IQ bottlewarmer, it is really good because it calculates the temp of what the bottle should be (if bottles been in fridge it warms it for longer or if its baby food it calculates the correct temp) and i thing the steriliser was ??27 and bottlewalmer ??29. I hope this helps, although i have heard that the microwave sterilisers are also good!

for my Steriliser i got the Philips Avent Express II Microwave Steam Steriliser as i will be using the Avent Bottles.
i had a difrent make the last two times but it was a microwave one and i think they are just great which is while im sticking with a microwave one, the fast that they are done in just 2 mins with out the need for tablets or anything else is also really good when you need them done fast x
On the other hand not warmig it at all (unless it has been refridgerated) could be a good idea as You are obviously planning to bottle feed from the start so if all your baby knows is room temp then that wil be fab and also save precious seconds when you wee one is screaming with hunger lol. Also makes life easier when you are out and about as you won't have to worry about warming - on that note I recommend buying a milk powder dispenser for when you are out and about so you can keep the water and powder seperate and not worry about chilling the milk or it going off.
I use the Avent microwave sterileiser and it takes 4 minutes but can take as little as 2 minutes depending on your microwave!

Ive got an Avent steam electric stereliser that I had with my son and its fab!! Its so easy to use and it keeps the contents steralised for 6 hours. Personally I found a bottle warmer a bit pointless, they take ages to heat bottles, its far easier to use a jug and hot water, also its just another thing you have to try and find room for!!!

No im not breastfeeding, bottle feeding from start.
I didnt know that they can have cold bottles, well room temp.

i have a cold water steriliser that you can put in the microwave if you wanted to as well.
I bought the cheapest as to be honest i begrudge paying about ??60-80 for a steriliser.
i warmed bottles with good old fashioned jug and hot water, because i was bf and he wouldnt take expressed milk unless it was warm. restaurants are usually happy to give you hot water to heat bottles as well when out and about so i figure why waste money? when i could be spending it on clothes etc

Also (im new to this) I have read before of people saying it is easier to make the wholes days bottles up in the morning but I read on some of your posts that the bottles only stay steril for so long?? any advise welcome.
Neither wonder i'm already stressed at 15 weeks there is just so much to learn !!

I never bothered with a bottle warmer with my last 2 babies, as i got one for my first and its quicker to use a jug and hot water.
