Which one is best? And do I need stuff to go in it - like milton tablets/liquid?

Sorry i am totally new to this...

Dont know.which one is best but I have the tommee tippee one and works just fine. Simply wash bottles, add a bottles worth of water to the bottom.of the steriliser, bottles in, lid.on and nuke for 6mins.

Alternatively just use a big plastic container with a lid- I got one from Tesco for £1.99 and Milton tablets. I am breast feeding so only use bottles occasionally.

Have the tommee tippee one also and as gnocchi says just wash and chuck in the water. Had no problems. Very straightforward. Can't compare to any others but there really isn't much to it. Plastic container seems a good idea though but I was given ours. I would definitely recommend microwave over electric worktop one though - far less clutter.

We used Lindam microwave steriliser bags for a time & they were fine but in the end we went for the old fashioned Miltons in a bucket method.

Hi we have an electric stereliser at home and a microwave one if we go anywhere. I find the microwave one better, and it doesn't take as much room up on your work top. They are both very easy to use. We have the Avent ones.

We have some Milton fluid at home just in case there is a power cut.

Hi, I had the MAM self sterilising bottles recommended to me so you don't need a steriliser as well. Bottles come apart and can sterilise single or multiple bottles at same time. :-) x
