Breastfeeding and sterilising/bottles

Hi, I’m 30 weeks and just trying to plan ahead! I want to breastfeed but don’t know anybody else who has so feeling a little lost with questions.

I’ve bought a breast pump and I’ve also bought the MAM bottle starter set just in case and for when I want to express.

Do I need a steriliser? It seems pointless buying a £70 steriliser or so if I’m not exclusively bottle feeding.

Thank you and any tips welcome x

You don't need a steriliser with MAM bottles - just a microwave

I use MAM bottles for expressed BM wash them up, rebuild them differently and they self sterilise in the microwave in 3 minutes! Brilliant.
