I just had the bottles etc. which came free in my avent steriliser, i think there were 2 newborn and 2 next stage, and 4 teats, 2 slow, 2 faster. We didn't give DD a bottle until 6 weeks to save nipple confusion but i'd pumped MASSES by then - enough for about 4 days worth of feeds! I had loads and loads of milk in the beginning and DD didn't take it all, so i used to pump one side while she drank the other. It took longer for my milk to "settle" than normal (because if you keep removing the milk the breasts keep replacing it) but it made a huge difference to me when my milk started to go (health problem, WON'T happen to you so don't fret - you'll be great ) being this far ahead in terms of what i could replace with EBM.

I had the Avent Isis Manual pump too, and it was great for general use. For building up milk you might need an electric but a) you almost certainly won't need to do that, b) you can hire one IF you ever need one.
