When I was pregnant and buying various things for my baby, we decided to invest in a sterliser even though we intended to breast feed. It turned out to be a good decision and a worthwhile purchase as we moved on to combination feeding after a few months and then to follow on milk to complement his weaning diet. We opted for the Tommee Tippee Microwave Steriliser kit for a number of reasons. Firstly, a microwave steriliser seemed simple and convenient and secondly, we had a number of Tommee Tippee products already and it was a brand I trusted. The design of their bottles also appealed to me as they are designed to help combination feeding. The set ...  Read the complete review

I am reviewing the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Microwave Steam Steriliser. I did put in a suggestion for the Closer to Nature steam steriliser but unfortunately it wasn't accepted as this one was already in the catalogue, so ho hum I shall review mine anyway, it's pretty much the same product it just looks a bit better than the picture on here. Like most baby products there is quite a variety of products available whether it be cold water sterilisers, steam sterilisers, electric etc. I personally was after something lightweight and easy to use, and when I was shopping for other baby essentials at the Asda baby and toddler event I spotted this Tommee ...  Read the complete review

One night, while I was expecting, I chatted to my mother-in-law abroad on Skype. Keen to impart some advice, she began talking about sterilising bottles, about tablets, boiling water and pans. I began to worry. With the arrival of my baby imminent and no idea about these things, I procrastinated and left any shopping to the last minute. Unsure about how I was going to feed my baby, I didn't want to spend a fortune on bottles and equipment, but equally I didn't want to come home from the hospital and go straight out to get it all. After some thought I realised I would definitely need a steriliser either way - even if it wasn't used for bottles, I would want to use it to ..  Read the complete review

The Tommee Tippee steam steriliser we bought is another product from the 'Closer to Nature' range which aims to make it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding. This steriliser is perfectly suited to the Closer to Nature bottles which are shorter than most of the bottles I've seen as they enable you to be closer to your baby as you bottle feed them. We bought the steriliser from Boots for £21.99. This was cheaper than many of the electric sterilisers we had seen, and we decided that this one was more compact and more easily transportable. I remember staring blankly at the range of sterilisers available to us and not having a clue which one would be best, ...  Read the complete review

Ok so I wouldn't have chosen this particular sterilliser normally. In fact my first choice was the aven IQ24 steam sterilliser which set me back a massive £60 but when this broke down after just 8 weeks of use at about 12 o clock at night I simply had no choice. I managed to pick this up at my local 24 hour Tesco and luckily it was just £10.00 as it had a half price offer (normally around £20.00 but always an offer on). My plan at first was to buy sterillising tablets and a sterillising bowl just for the time being but in fact this worked out cheaper. It wasn't just the sterillisr that I recieved for the £10.00 as with it you get 3 free natural ...  Read the complete review
