Yes yes, I know, it's far more exciting shopping for baby clothes and designer changing bags than it is looking for sterilisers. But, let's face facts, a steriliser is an essential. Even if you're breast feeding, you're likely to use bottles at some stage so this is a 'piece of kit' you're going to get very familiar with.
My advice is to decide whether you like the idea of a cold water steriliser, a microwave steriliser, or the electric option and then start looking. I went for electric. Our ancient microwave is in the garage so a microwave steriliser would have driven me nuts. I bought a steam steriliser and it's currently steaming away for our second child so, it's been worth every penny.
Choose bottles that fit your steriliser and you're good to go. The Closer to Nature Electric Steam Steriliser, £39.99, is available to buy from Kiddicare.
