which steriliser, bottles and breast pump

[md32]

Hi, I'm trying to chose between tommee tippee and advent for steriliser bottles & breast pump. I'm reading reviews that advent bottles aren't as good but advent breast pump is better than tommee tippee. Do i have to get all 3 from the same range and which is best? thanks

I used a Medela pump. Was very good, and can thoroughly recommend the Tommee Tippee bottles.
Didn't like Advent at all. Thought the teats were hard and DD1 used to spit it out.
I also just used a tupperware box and Milton to sterilise. Wouldn't bother with anything else as it'll just end up sat on a shelf gathering dust by the end of the year (like alot a baby stuff does).

I used an Avent manual breastpump - electric ones never worked for me. Also had Avent steriliser (for first 6 months only really) but Tommee Tippee bottles - you can mix and match no problem

I was given all mine - avent bottles, medela pump, boots steriliser. I found them all absolutely fine but if you use an avent pump you can express straight into the avent bottles or containers and then add a teat and you're away. I always had to transfer from the 'pump' bottle into the Avent bottle, which although wasn't the end of the world was a bit of a pita.
