Yes this will sound clueless

but whats the difference between avent's microwave steriliser and avent's steam steriliser??

My mum bought me the microwave one on sale in asda for £5 but i wasnt sure whether i needed both?

it includes a free 4oz bottle but it does say it can hold up to 6 9oz ones aswell

but i didnt know whether the microwave one is for older babies like from 3 months?

Im completely flummoxed!!

also would you say £9 was good value for a box of 75 pampers nappies?

the microwave sterilisers you put a bit of water in the bottom and pop them in the microwave, which then heats up the water producing steam to sterilise the bottles, a steam steriliser is one you plug in, put a bit of water at the bottom and there's an element in it, a bit like a kettle that heats up and produces the steam. If I were choosing one, I'd go for a microwave one, less to go wrong with them, they're pretty indestructible.

And yes, I'd say £9 was very good value for 75 nappies.

BTW, they both sterilise so you can use either one from birth...
