Hello!

Looking for some advice on which brand of bottles/steriliser people recommend (about to start third trimester and not really bought anything for baby yet). This is my first baby so don't know what will happen in reality, but current thoughts are I would like to Bf and then start expressing, with aim to move to mixed feeding in a few months so DH can feed baby etc. I've been looking in the shops a bit and online and the main brands seem to be Tommy Tippee, Avent and Medela. also seen Dr Brown, these seem more for anti colic? I'm guess I'm looking for recommendations on a good starter set, e.g. selection of bottles, teats, steriliser and electric breast pump etc - what have people used and think is a good brand, reliable brand? The Tommee Tippee back to nature ones looked good but read some not so good reviews...also does all the 'kit' have to be the same brand? Presumably the pump generally fits onto same brand bottles, and easier to fit in same brand steriliser etc? Sorry for all the inane questions! And thank you in advance for any help!

We probably tried around half a dozen different combos of bottles etc with our twins.
Stay WELL clear of any own-brand stuff, they're all just crap.
Nuk bottles were nice for the transition to boob but are fiendlishly hard to get hold of replacement teats etc
Tommee Tippee bundle for bottles, electric steriliser, cool bags etc proved to be fab value. Although their bottle heater is worse than rubbish.

Medela electric pump also wins hands down.
