Bottle feeding
Hiya, I’m having baby next week at Southmead Hospital and am looking to do bottle feeding and am bringing own bottles and formula, would the hospital provide the water for these also how can I sterilise and clean the bottles during my stay please? Also how many bottles shall I take I am having a planned C-section at 37 weeks due to baby being underweight

@Kayleigh where did you find the pre made ones with teats please x
I'm sat here right now after my 35 week twins decided they wanted to arrive. They will give you formula in a pre-made bottle and will say don't use yours while you're here as you get it anyway. There is a sterilising area for bottles etc. I took 4 bottles per baby. Take food and drinks you like as the food is awful. Visiting is also terrible and they will only allow your partner and 1 other. Even if your partner comes out you're still only allowed 1 other.
Those are also the exact same ones the hospital gave us to use as well

I had my section at Southmead in March last year - was 37+1 due to GD. Was admitted Tuesday 7am and was released Wednesday around 3pm. They have the small pre-made Kendamil which you can use. We also took 1 box with us (with the teats) and came home with 2 unused! You're not going to be very mobile day of section!
