feeding baby in hospital?

[sarah0202]

Just wondered those of you who will be bottle feeding about feeding your newborn at hospital will you buy ready made milk and can you buy pre sterilized bottles?

I bottle fed both my boys (hoping to BF this time tho) and the hospital supplied the bottles & milk! It was already made up! They asked what formula we planned on giving & they bought the bottle of ready made milk through! Don't know if its all changed tho as that was 12 years ago! X x

Yep that's still the case - at the hospital I work in we still supply milk for bottle fed babies should be the same everywhere although I know some hospitals have started to stop due to the breastfeeding initiative, so ask your midwife when you next see her! Pretty sure about 90% of hospitals still do supply bottle milk though x

russells hall dont supply new mothers with formula milk because of the breast feeding initiative so if for any reason i cant BF then i'll take formula with me (but they do have sterilizers in the rooms which is good)

i'm sure the rosie at addenbrooks have stopped supplying milk they did supply when i has ds just over 3 years ago, i'm hoping i won't have to stay so won't be in there long but will still need to feed baby i know you can get ready made milk in cartons but was unsure about the bottles?

You can buy the little bottles with teats from mothercare with formula in them if your hospital doesn't supply xxx

My hospital doesn't provide formula anymore. If u want to bottle feed, u have to take ur own bottles and formula.

I'm gonna BF but am taking some bottles and the ready made cartons with me for just in case BF goes horribly wrong. I'm still taking them even if they tell me that the hospital will provide. It's just I keep getting told different things off different people about what they do and don't do so I'm just gonna make sure I am prepared.
