Help! I've run out of formula? Is there anywhere open now?

[LiliAnjelika]

I've run out of formula and i'ts Sunday night. I can still breastfeed but it means i'll be up all night - i've been giving formula at night for ages and i'm sure my supply isn't good. Anyone have any suggestions? as far as i know there's nothing open now?

If you find the on duty chemist, they might sell you some. NHS direct will tell you. What is your post code?

bump!!

Thanks. my post code is CF11 7JZ. What a dolt!

Petrol station?

Do you have any 24hr petrol stations near you? Especially ones with a good sized shop attached (eg. Tesco express, M&S). They usually have some kind of formula.

How old is your DC? Would s/he not be OK on BF and water unil morning?

do you not have 24 hour tescos/asdas near where you live? that was my saviour at times like this

No 7JZ&s=Pharmacy&f=191&aw=1 pharmacies open I'm afraid

Do you have any neighbours with a baby who may have some formula you can borrow?

Yes, I would try petrol stations as suggested above. Or, depending on the age of your DC, if you can't go that route, I would try some warmed cows' milk instead - if she's close to 1, or at least over 6 months - as a one off. Lack of all the vitamins over one night's feeding isn't going to hurt.

Thanks all. went to 24 hr petrol station and have formula. yoU're all stars!!

if over 6months full fat cows milk as a one off is fine
