Avent breastfeeding set
- Thread starter FeeFee
- Start date
I've got that set....well I think it's that set anyway, £100 (with 10% off) from Mothercare, it's the IQ Steriliser though and came with a few more bits, like a carry bag (really nice, RRP £19 alone!) for the breastpump and 2 bottles and a pouch I guess if for things like tissues, breast pads etc. I've still got 10-12 weeks to go before LO arrives. Will report back once I've started using it!!
£50 is a good deal when you think the bottles are anywhere from around £2.99 upwards and the steriliser itself is around the £40 marker etc. I do think that's a good deal indeed, especially to be including a breast pump etc. I think we got the bigger kit because it came with extras like a bottle warmer which DH seems to think will be handy when he does his Fri/Sat night feeds!!

I have switched to the Avent Breast pump for expressing, as I found it easier. However I still swear by the Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles, as Ellie find those teats fine to mix with breast feeding. However £50 for all that sounds like a great deal.
Nicky I have the Avent set (as above with a few other bits and bobs) but I've also invested in the TT Closer to Nature Bottles, they look more breast to bottle friendly the teats look better on them etc and they have had great reviews. The Avent set came with I think 3 bottles and 2 training cups. The cups I've stored for a later date the bottles I've got the lids for storage on them....they might do for extra or when he's a little bigger type thing. I bought the Closer to Nature bottles specifically for when he's newborn etc, save nipple confusion when Daddy wants to have a feed too!!

The breastfeeding set looks good, but I can only find it at £130. Did someone manage to buy it at £50? That's such a bargain!!! Is it still available at that price?
Yep i got it for £50 in babies R us in Watford G3M was with me at the time, it did have a sticker on it saying Babies R Us special offer so i don't know if it is exclusive to them or not,

Thanks! I've now found the offer from your link. I mistook that set with another one I've seen called the Avent Breastfeeding Solutions set (the one that costs £130) hence got myself confused.

personally i wouldn't buy that until after baby is 6 weeks old. Then get what you need separately. it may be that you really take to breastfeeding and don't want to express etc.
Don't buy loads of bottles. just get one just in case and a carton of first formula milk. Thats all i did with all mine but i didn't use them.

Well, I was thinking that the steriliser itself costs £40, so by getting the set, I was only paying an extra tenner. Also, I would like to get my DH to feed at times, and would prefer to express milk to feed when we're out rather than breastfeed outside of home, so just getting prepared for it all.
The way i was looking at it is even if i don't use it its still sealed and i'm sure i would be able to sell it on on ebay, and if i used bits of it like the pump and A bottle i could sell the other ones and make some money back, seemed win win for me
