Do I need to pack them incase I can't breast feed?
I wouldn't take any as if you do have any problems BF then you'd be more likely to just give in and feed baby formula instead of asking for help.
NO. it is really rare that someone can't breastfeed. i know a lot of women who in a desperate or fearful moment with the new baby fed formula and started a decline in their milk coming in or supply. your baby will be born with enough bodyfat to continue to thrive even with some initial latch difficulties.

Actually thats not true at all and you do make it sound like people who cant do it didnt really try.
I dont want to turn this thread into an arguement at all but i was completely unable to feed my son (he wouldnt latch and when i tried to express there was nothing there) and we were re-admitted to hospital the day after he was born because he hadnt fed AT ALL and was basically starving.
That said, personally i'm going to take some of the ready made bottles to hospital with me just in case even though i am intending to breast feed.
