    hey
    i think most hospitals supply the milk, mine does , it comes in a small glass baby bottle which you then throw away. give your midwife or hospital a ring, thats one thing of your mind then init, or ask anybody u know who has recently had a baby in that hospital if they now, thats how i found out

    Our hospital don't supply them, you have to take your own in with you! Another case of postcode lottery!! I'm hoping to breastfeed though xxxx

    AS IF you have to take your own. Thats awful. They supplied it at our hospital, they said it was due to infection control. Easily spread if things arent sterilised properly. NHS needs a kick up the backside!

    You'll find most hospitals have a supply, usually in case mother has problems breastfeeding and they have to give baby a bottle in meantime, but if you're planning on bottlefeeding anyway then may be best to take a couple with you just in case.
