Those who are bottle feeding...

[Jetset]

What exactly do I need to buy? I need to start making a list of things I need and feel a bit lost at the moment!

I bought the Tommy Tippee starter kit which included:
4 x 6oz bottles
4 x 9oz bottles
Steriliser
Bottle Warmer
Bottle Brush
Thermos bottle carriers

I got this in the Babies R Us sale, down from £130 to £60 - bargain! Other than that I'm just gonna stock up on extra bottles x

Steriliser
Bottles
Stage 1 and 2 teats
Formula
Cleaning brush for the bottles

Hope that helps!

Thank you... My mum breast fed so she had no idea either!

I didn't bother with a bottle warmer, I found a jug of hot water worked just as well. However my youngest prefered her milk at room temperature.

Just make sure you have plenty of bottles, so you have some spare. Bottles have a habit of going missing.

Whoops from reading other comments, realised I forgot formula! Lol x

i bought a bottle warmer and used it twice as found out my boy preferred his milk at room temp too, so thats a give or take thing, but defo the hot water n jug is just as good tho. Ive got 7 bottles as ill be sterilizin them everyday anyway and 76 is plenty or you end up with too many just floating about and needin washin up lol

This is what we used with my son:

-no bottle warmer (if you can NOT heat them, you're better off- trust me)
4- 4oz bottles
6- 8 oz bottles
-drop ins for both sizes
-size 2 nipples (3 packs)
-size 3 nipples (3 packs)

I only gave bottles for about 2 months after he decided to wean himself off the breast at 8 months but he preferred em room temp or even right out of the fridge (crazy child). Plus if you don't get them used to the bottles being warm then it'll make it easier for you when you're out and have nowhere to warm them
