I'm sure this has been done to death but I'm confused and couldn't find a thread which answers my question exactly. Sorry if this is very basic stuff!
I'm nearly 40w pregnant with DC1, and plan to breastfeed (although understand it's harder than it looks). A friend has told me that I need a 'breast pump and steriliser'. So I've had a look in the shops and am totally confused by what exactly I need. Do I need lots of bottles? What's the best kind of steriliser? Is it best to buy a whole set? I've seen the recent thread about manual vs electric pumps and the advice to wait and see, but then what's the point in having bottles if you don't have a pump - as back in case you need to formula feed too? As you can see, totally confused, please help!
Could someone point me in the right direction (preferably with links) so I know exactly what is worth getting now, and what I should wait and pick up later?
