did anybody ever use those self cleaning bottles, where u add water and just put them into the microwave, so u don't need a steriliser?

Never heard of them. Where do you get them from?

you get them from mothercare if they are the ones i am thinking of? my friend used them and they tend to leak a bit, they are good for taking away or visiting but i am not keen on them personally as i think u can only sterlise couple at time and i think its easier to do 4- 6 at same time!! friend did like them overall tho. x
