Which steam steriliser holds the most wide bottles?

Using a Avent microwave one at the moment, but it doesnt fit all my bottles and bits. We have mostly Dr Browns bottles with a couple of Tommee Tippee ones. I want to buy a second hand one from Ebay but want to know which one will take the most wide, full size bottles.

Any recommendations?

i used a plain cotton fabric. cotton/polyester mix is fine. I made a ring sling using a panel from a plain cotton ikea curtain - it was the right length and only a bit too wide. the tube sling from a leftover fabric from another project.

Had another go today with the pouch sling using the kangaroo carry (Im sure that little baby's mummy loves her very much !). Ive noticed that my sling hangs a little lower than the ones in the link kiskidee posted. We lasted a bit longer, but I have had to put my TENS machine on my back tonight. I suppose what it is, when you use one from birth you get used to it gradually ie start with 6/7 lbs, whereas I have gone straight in with the 12lb+.

I would add that this is not the first time Ive used a sling, I had a Kangorou (do they still make em?) for my DS. But I didnt use that beyond 3 months, he was a biggun.

Interesting thread. I am only leaving ds (16 months) for 2 days but I was assuming I would just express enough for comfort maybe morning and evening. He does only feed 2-3 times a day though some days he does do more very short feeds. We don't do night feeds any more.

I work 3 days a week and in the 10 hrs I don't see him on those days I have never expressed. I suppose I just assumed that after this long my milk supply is pretty robust and that 1-2 days of not feeding him should be OK though I appreciate I may need to express maybe once or twice a day more for my comfort than anything else.

ha just posted on completely the wrong thread - sorry - my humblest appoligies [embarrassed]

Just waiting for squarer's steriliser ... looking forward to be able to do all bottles at once!

I cant find the sling thread, but we have been given a Wilkinet and its absolutely fab!
