bottles and sterilizers?

As long as the bottles fit it will work fine. Microwave and electric sterilizers both heat water to produce steam, which sterilizes the bottles, nipples, paci's... As long as the bottles fit, the brands don't matter.

I tell clients to buy a $30 Black & Decker steamer/rice cooker, set it for 20 minutes and you're good. They're cheaper than most electric sterilizers, and when you're done with bottles you can still use it to cook rice and veggies.
