Formula milk in hospitals

[Amanda]

A really daft question - but is this provided??

I breastfed my daughter, but due to problems with this, I'm not even attempting it with my LO and want to know if it is provided. Or do I need to buy some disposable sterilised bottles and some cartons of formula? When I had my daughter I know they had those little bottles ready made up, but they also provided nappies back then!!

 

In all maternity wards I have been in (3) and then kids ward, they all rpovided a selection of formula milk and teats xx

Phew! Thanks Sami. I'm just off to Boots to get the last-minute things for my labour bag, so you've just saved me having to buy more stuff!!

 

LOL, they have many brands normally such as Aptimil, SMA Gold, Cow & Gate, etc. Maybe have a think about which would be your 2 favorite brands to try, because if you try and think after birth you'll be cufuffled haha!

Hospitals should definitely provide the bottles, they did at my hospital so im assuming its the same everywhere!!

Brill. That's put my mind at rest. My daughter had SMA after I stopped breastfeeding, so I think I'll give LO a go on this first.
