Microwave steriliser vs electric

[Catarinah]

Hi all. So I'm reading up on sterilisers and not sure to buy electric or microwave (the water method sounds a bit of a faff)...
I am planning on breastfeeding but this is my first baby so not sure how that'll go. I think I'm leaning more towards microwave as my kitchen is rather small and I've read that the electrical ones need descaling, both mine and my boyfriends parents live further away too so I was thinking the microwave one will be easier to transport.

I am thinking of the tommee tippee closer to nature microwave steriliser which is meant to hold 4 bottles (the other version they make apparently doesn't fit most standard microwaves). Do any of you use this one? If so, can you sterilise breast pump in there? I am thinking of purchasing this pump from amazon -

Any advice mummies!?

@Catarinah just be careful with the microwave ones check the measurements first to make sure it fits in your microwave. Some friends have bought us a microwave one and we can't use it cause it's too big for the microwave so we are going to use an electric one x

Ye i had the other tommee tippee one in my basket first but read a lot of reviews saying it's too big even for a standard microwave, it's probably why they brought the closer to nature one out as its smaller @FearnRJ :)

Ive always used tommee tippie microwave one its so much easier to use and can keep it in microwave even when not using it so doesnt take up room on your kitchen sides x

Great! Can you sterilise your pump in there? If you're breastfeeding... @Boymummy3

Ive never breastfed so i really am not sure but i cant see why not? X

I got mam bottles.. Self sterilising. No steriliser needed.
