This roomy Avent IQ24 Electronic Steam Steriliser, £59.99, is good for bottlefeeding, and the smaller Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature Microwave Steam & Cold Water Steriliser, £19.99, would suit a breastfeeding mum.
Read the instructions and try out your steriliser before baby arrives so you're already familiar with how it works.
Even breastfeeding mums will need a steriliser at some point if you plan to express and store milk. Microwave models are handy if you are short of work-top space as they can be stored in the microwave when not in use.
