Bottle Choices?

[Cupcake]

I have purchased a Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Breast Pump which came with a bottle, should i get all the same brand of bottles? Or does it not matter?

& with regards to a steriliser should i stick with the same brand steriliser as bottles?

Any feedback on if my purchase was a good one? Probably should have asked before buying?

GGRRR comp ate my post, hate that!

Bottles are similair to nappy's in the sense that not one size fits all.

DD1 would only take avent bottles, DD2 will only take the cheap happy baby bottles (yay for me!)

i would get a couple more bottles the ft ur breast pump, incase u pump and freeze the one u have and need to use it again.

As for sterilisers, we used the milton tub and solution. Didnt matter what size or shape the bottle was, it all fitted in.
its about $45 from bigw and im pretty sure that u can get it from chemists aswell.

I think the only advantage you'll get from sticking with the one brand is that it all fits and works together.

We use avent bottles and had the avent steriliser and everything fit in nicely... trying to put another brand of bottles into that steriliser would have been a nightmare!

But, there's always the problem that your baby may not like those bottles.

Hmm makes it hard lol.

Maybe i will stick with the one bottle that came with the pump & get one or two different brands then when bubs decides i can buy more in that brand?

I just dont want to get stuck with none JIC

& I dont want to buy a steriliser then have no other bottle but that brand fit into it!

Thanks girls

oh forgot to add, u dont NEED to sterilise bottle that have only had BM in it, BM doest harbour the same bacteria that formula does.
and if u want to sterilise them u can just boil them in a pot so u dont need to make a big purchase on an actual steriliser till u actually need to.
