im 27 weeks with my first and i really want to breast feed for as long as possable, but i know im going to need bottles and a stirilising equiptment. I did concider just to put them in a pan & boil them as we are a bit tight on money but i know some bottles crack! so i was just wondering what people would recommend and why as i want to get some before the baby is born just incase i have difficulties breast feeding & my other half wants to be able to feed every once in a while to! As i dont want to buy something expencive & then decide i dont like using it really! also i was thinking of getting a breast pump what are other peoples experience with them??? thanks

The avent microwave sterilizer is meant to be really good. It's the one I've bought but haven't used yet (obviously). It's quicker that the eletric one, cheaper in most places and it stays sterile for longer too.

i like the microwave ones. they are fast and r small enough 2 take if ur going on hoildays. slso r easy 2 clean
