bottle feeding in hospital

I’m a first time mum, planning on bottle feeding. My hospital offers no sterilising/bottle making services unless there’s a special reason like you didn’t have your hospital bag when you went into labour or something.

I planned on packing the pre made bottles with sterile teats by Aptamil, but I was just wondering if anyone’s had trouble getting their baby to take their regular bottle teats after using them once your home?

I also don’t know how many to pack? or is there another way? could i sterilise bottles and bring them with me?

I took the ready made bottles into hospital. We also took a couple of sterilised bottles with us but managed to get a couple on the ward as well. Had absolutely no problem getting baby onto the teats we had at home. We used our sterilised bottles after the birth but only had 2
The ward tend to have some disposable bottles as well you can ask for but that depends on each hospital. They were really good with me and my dd. Hope that helps a little

I've fed 3 with the pre made and never had an issue with teats
