Best steriliser/bottle warmer

I am a first time mum and wanting to buy a bottle steriliser. We have been gifted some mam bottles already. Ideally, I want to try and breast feed but will use bottles if I can't or am unable to do this. I have seen the MAM steriliser and bottle warmer together, is this worth it? Or do I get a separate steriliser and bottle warmer. There are so many brands and so many types I feel clueless. Do I go for steam, microwave, uv, cold water. Any advise would he appreciated.

Mam bottles self sterilise in the microwave, but I much preferred using the vitalbaby UV steriliser as it drys them and you can store them in there too. Obviously you can sterilise anything in there too.

Never bothered with a bottle warmer, just made the bottles up with half the amount of water needed and put them in the fridge, when you need one just boil the kettle and top it up. Comes out perfect temp.

I had a tommee tippee set with steam steraliser & bottle warmer etc. We used a mixture of mam and tt bottles and both went in the same steraliser I think!

I found my baby liked the same brand dummy as bottle interestingly!

I'd say yes, a 2 in 1 steriliser & warmer is worth it if you're after cost-saving, space-saving and convenience. Personally, I prefer a UV steriliser as I'd like the bottles dry after being sterilised and ready for use. I also use it to sterilise baby's dummies and small toys. My little one happily drinks room-temp milk, but when we need them warm, the old-school bowl + hot water works just fine 😀
