We’re looking at buying a few different brands of bottle, to see which one our little one will like before we buy loads of one brand.

I have been using the tommee tippee steam steriliser for 3 weeks now and have been using as per instructions with 80ml of water but the heating pad seems to be faulty and leaving this burnt crust after use?

Every time you make up some formula, does the bottle/cup have to be sterilised every time? Baby is 7.5 months
