Sterilisers

[Frizzy]

Morning ladies

I have posted this in the ask a mum section but wasn't sure where it best sat so thought I would put it on here too - hope that is ok?

I am after some advice regarding sterilisers, I think I have got my head round the 3 basic types - cold water, steam or microwave. I plan to breastfeed but am hoping to also express so DH can be involved and was planning on using the Dr Brown bottles, does anybody know if these are ok to use whilst breastfeeding?

The only Dr Brown steriliser I have found is a microwave one which it says is sterile until opened, what happens if I have sterilised 3 bottles and open it for 1 bottle - do the others have to be re-sterilised?

I don't think I really understand how this all works - I had only heard of the cold water sysems until now so any advice is really appreciated.

Thank you

tbh i think if your breast feeding cold water is the best, after u finished expressing u can wash pump and put it in the water, after 15mins its sterlie again, and ready for next time.

you just need to change the water every day. was my morning routine to swap the water over.

Thanks paradysso

I was leaning more to a cold water system but I didn't know if the Dr Brown bottles could be used in one - if anybody knows I would be very grateful thank you
