I'm planning on FFing, what do I need to take to hospital??

suzanne108 · Oct 23rd, 2009, 08:14 AM

I haven't been here before so... hello!

I'm planning on formula feeding my little one when he or she arrives but I'm unsure what to take to the hospital...??

Obviously the bottles will need to be sterilised...can I do this before I pack them in my bag?

Do I need to take a kettle for water?! Or will the hospital provide it? Or does it depend on the hospital?

As you can see I have absolutely no idea on this!!! So any help will be very much needed and appreciated

I brought my own bottles to the hospital, but when I had Noah, the hospital provided the formula and bottles! I am in Canada though, so I don't know if that's normal everywhere else.
