Been reading about people's stays and every hospital seems different to if they got anytbjng such as mesh underwear, bottles for your milk, blankets or anything. What did you get? :)

I didn’t get anything apart from some maternity pads as I ran out of the ones I bought with me (stayed in longer than expected). I’d bring everything you think you’re going to need. I know MK do provide the ready made formula for you but not sure which brands. You can ask your midwife, they will know what you need to bring with you!
MK will provide cow and gate and sma formula I believe. They also gave my baby a hat as I somehow forgot that in all my packing. They also gave me a blanket but that came from theatre’s they don’t seem to have them as standard on the ward but can probably get you one easily if needed. The formula comes in its own 70ml bottle with disposable teat but they don’t give standard bottles to my knowledge
I didn’t think I would be in labour for such a short period so we left the actual baby bag in the car 🤦♀️ I assumed that I would be in there ages and had been told they get funny if you bring too much into the room!
So they gave baby a hat and a blanket x
They do have stuff to provide if needed/necessary but they do expect you to bring your own. However they won’t refuse to help you . X
