I had an AVENT manual breast pump & I found it useless. I was later recommended by the baby health nurse that electric breast pumps are much easier to use (by the time I got this advice I no longer had any milk supply & bub was on formula at 5mths to my disappointment)

I started with TWO little AVENT bottles !!

And i purchased a BigW brand (Dymples) microwave bottle steriliser (was clear lid & white plastic bottom) for about " $10 " in 2006 & it lasted me for ages & is now packed away in brilliant condition.

(Would have loved an electric sterisler but I didn't have the bench room (believe me you won't want to be pulling it out of the cupboard several times a day

ALL THE BEST ... and don't let the subject of breastfeeding concern you - You can only do what you can do
