Why a kit and not a pile of random bottles
Because I will buy six different bottle brands, none of which fit the steriliser. A kit means the bits match. If breastfeeding goes to plan, great, and the kit sits in the cupboard being my emotional support appliance. If you have questions about feeding itself, ask your midwife or child health nurse, not a bloke with a website.
