Preparing feeds in hospital

[worldgonemad72]

Hi

I am planning to FF, i am having a planned c section this time and my hospital has a new policy now where you have to take in your own formula etc.
How will i be able to make up feeds when i cant get out of bed? do i have to take in a steraliser.
im starting to panic a bit as my dh wont be able to stay for hours to help as we have a dd (age 10) and ds (age 2) at home.

Has anybody had the same policy at their hospital, and what did you do?

Thanks

Not had that experience myself, but I think you can buy everything needed, disposable bottles/teets and ready made cartons of formula.

you can buy sma ready made bottles /teats in boots and large mothercares in 12 bottles pack for about £14 ..like the ones the hospitals use to supply .

my daughter used these 5 weeks ago ,

Use ready made bottles or use cartons and have a supply of sterilised bottles.

C&G do packs of bottles like the ones they provide in hospital - Asda I think I;ve seen them. The teats are individually sealed to screw onto the bottle.
If you can't get those, if it were me I'd go with AmberLeaf 's suggestion. Sterilising/filling bottles/warming/cooling etc is a faff in hospital, in bed or not. (I did it when DS was in at 11 months and wouldn't drink the ready made ones)

Thanks, i didn't know that you could buy them, ive always used the powdered formula, ive seen the ready made cartons, but was worrying about how id steralise the bottles. Will pop down mothercare this week.
