...Because my 8 month old breastfed DD won't take a bottle, im looking for a product that has a spout like the tommee tippee cup but that is bigger and can be used for warm milk, (the TT cup is perfect but can only be used for cold drinks apparently)...

Does such a thing exist? Id be so pleased to find such a product!

I'd use the TT cup tbh - you probably shouldnt put hot liquids in it but slightly warmed milk would be ok. (it is probably the risk of scalding that prompts the warning). I have used the large avent magic cup and a cow patterned cup for milk - both have a valve but they can be removed to make the cups free-flowing.

i have also used the avent one with valve removed. dd exc. bf and seemed to struggle with the small spout on the tt but was ok with big avent spout.

Yes, you can sterilise the avent one.

You don't have to sterilise though - washing well in hot soapy water is good enough (there is a thread about it somewhere)

Cheers! Have seen the thread but prefer to sterilise.
