I'm expecting my 3rd child shortly and there is a substantial gap between this one and my older 2 - so I am quite out of the loop baby-gear wise. I breastfed my other 2 for over a year, but was caught out horribly with my oldest when I developed a really nasty vomitting bug when we were away in Spain and was unable to feed her as I was getting progressively more dehydrated. My husband had to rush out and buy bottles/formula etc and we had no idea what we were doing. This time I want to get a couple of bottles in advance and a microwave steriliser so I am not caught out (although, hopefully we wouldn't ever be in that position ever again!!) I will also, hopefully, use the bottles later with expressed milk. I used Tommee Tippee bottles before - but have read that you can waste quite a bit of breast milk in the top bit and that there are better options. Can't say I noticed this before - but would like to know what bottles other people use with breastfed babies - there are so many out there now!!
