I have been umming and arring over breastfeeding and I have decided to give it a go. However I really have no clue what I need from the very beginning. I'm guessing I still need to buy some bottles (because I do want my OH to have the chance to bottle feed him), a breast pump and a steriliser. I'm really not sure what else?
I'm worried that I won't be prepared, I mean, what if for some reason I can't BF while I'm recovering in hospital (planned c asection for me)... how do I then go about getting him formula? or do I just need to be prepared for both and take some formula in with me.
Last time I gave birth bottles were given to us at hospital but now I have read that you have to take your own in? How does that work exactly because sterilising bottles on a maternity ward but be a nightmare
Basically, I really need to know
1, what do I need to start BF
2, what do I need for a ff back up plan should BF go... let's say... tits up!
3, if I do have to ff what do I need to take into hospital with me or send my OH out on an emergency trip to fetch for me lol
Thanks in advance! xxx
