So I have a pack of 6 sma ready milks, is that enough for the hospital stay? I plan on breastfeeding but my last baby didn’t latch so I just want to be prepared. I’m having a caesarean so should be in for around 24 hours so just wondering if 6 is enough

Hun i would ask them for milk if baby needs it, they offered me milk bec my milk hadnt come through and my daughter needed feeding.
6 sounds enough but ask for a top up from them if needed x

I took 6, it was just enough but I was only in hospital 24hrs (I spent the first few hours attempting to breastfeed and I managed to get some colostrum but struggled thereafter) In hindsight I would've taken more just incase I was in longer. Depending on the hospital they may provide milk, but mine didn't, my husband would have had to go and buy some and bring it in for baby xx

I’m gonna try and breastfeed but don’t think I’ll have much coming out for a good day or 2, my hospital have already had a moan at the pre op about how they don’t provide milk lol, I can also ask my partner to pop the shop, how long can you use the bottles before throwing them?
