Yesterday I was chatting to a friend who has a brand new 1 week old baby. Apart from raving about how great it was to have employed a "night nurse," who basically takes over the baby care at night, she said that the most important piece of equipment she had was a bottle sterilizer.
While I'm planning to ride the breastfeeding train, I realize that pumping, storing and freezing may allow the husband and grandparentals to lend a hand. So, a sterilizer must be necessary. But which one? Which bottles are compatible with which sterilizers, and which with which pumps? Medela, Tommee Tippee, and Avent seem to be the market leaders. But when I don't even know how to use a sterilizer, and have still not handled a bottle, how can I choose?
In the end, I chose the Medela swing pump and the Avent sterilizer. The first was recommended by more of my friends in an informal poll. The second seems to be able to manage many different sizes of bottles and equipment, which may give more flexibility.
Ok, feeding products, check! One less thing.
