Feeding
1) Breast Pump
For working mums, a mobile dual-electric breast pump enables working mums to continue breastfeeding and helps save time.

2) Milk Bottles
There are many different types of milk bottles out there. Some helps to reduces colic, spit-up, burping and gas.

3) Steriliser
Sterilising helps to keep protect babies from bacteria, germs and infection. I chose the electric steam steriliser as it is fast (takes about 6 to 15mins depending on model) and convenient to use. The steam from the steriliser also helps remove any remaining oil and milk stains. When choosing a steriliser, I pay attention to the size of the steriliser and choose one that can accommodate the number of milk bottles that I need to sterilise. Besides milk bottles, I put in pacifiers, spoons, milk powder dispenser that can be sterilised.

4) Cleaning Brushes
It helps to remove milk stains from difficult to reach places in milk bottle. It is better to get brushes of the same brand as different brands of milk bottles comes in different shapes and brushes of the same brand would have been designed to reach all areas of the milk bottle. I particularly like the brush shown in the picture below as it is very useful in reaching and scrubbing edges and/or other hard to reach areas of accessories like the milk bottle and food containers.

5) Cleanser
I chose a food grade liquid cleanser to wash the milk bottles and all other baby accessories like the pacifiers, milk dispenser, spoons, food containers etc. Pigeon, Tollyjoy, NUK are the few brands that carry food grade liquid cleanser.

6) Breast Milk Storage Bags/ Containers
Breast milk storage bags can only be used once and are used to store breast milk in the freezer for future consumption. Some milk storage containers can be placed in the freezer or the fridge. I particularly like the Philips Avent Breast Milk Storage Containers as they reusable, BPA free, can be freeze, can be sterilised, dishwasher safe and can be used in future to store baby food.
