Hospital bags

All formula is pretty much the same as tightly regulated. I'd opt for the cheapest personally.

I recommend kendamil as ingredients DO vary. Nice name lol

I am another kendamil fan, the ingredients do differ so have a bit of a look and weigh up the pros and cons of different formulas there are comparison lists online 🙂 you may spend ages deciding and baby doesn’t get on with it and you have to switch anyway so don’t stock up too much! If I was to choose a budget formula I would go bonya as it’s made by kendamil and has similar ingredients 🙂

We’re getting sma little steps.. For myself so far I’ve packed.. Fan Long night dress Pjs Slide on slippers Dark towels Easy clothes to put on ( dresses) Underwear Pads Toiletries Hairbrush Treats Drinking bottle Small bottle of squash Cans of pop Lip balm I’ll be taking my own pillow A phone charger n headphones N i might get a word search just to waste time last time I was in for 5 days! X

Ready made formula was a life saver for me .. I didn’t use the teats though, I packed my own bottles and the hospital gave me a big bucket with Milton water to sterilise it. I did a ton of research on formula and Kendamil for me came out on top. It’s not got any palm oil or soy or fish oil .. it’s made from whole milk from a farm in the Lake District so it’s nice and local and has more fat in it so bubba can grow well x

Essentials I would say are lots of all in one outfits with zips for the baby .. the zips make it so easy to dress them .. a few baby hats .. bottles, ready feed formula, nappies, wet wipes, baby blankets for swaddling .. dark loungewear for you, slippers and flip flops, dry shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, face wipes, maternity bras with breast pads as you will leak milk constantly … big high rise knickers and maternity pads .. big bottle to re-fill with your wster .. phone charger .. eye mask and ear buds so you can get some Kip … lip balm xx

You guys are amazing! Thank you so much 💞💞🥰

We've got the pre made baby milk this time, we went with aptamil like I did with my other 2 children best one I think by far my opinion. But the pre made ones are much easier and better x

I've also bought aptamil pre-made as I couldn't find the expiry date on the kendamil packs 🤦🏽‍♀️ do we need to take our own baby bottles?

From looking at a lot of posts and comments etc I think it’s personal choice to take bottles or to use the pre made ones xx

@Sonia it's your choice but 3rd baby and I dont i just take aptamil pre made, as can't sterillise bottles at hopsital so easier to take pre made and plenty off, but it's completely your choice x

@Amber i have just purchased the pre made aptamil bottles that I assume you can pour into bottles. I will check with the hospital if they provide sterilising facilities xx

I brought the pre made milk with teats so you don't need bottles but you can do it that way also but domt think they have ways of sterilising they usually have pre made at hopsitals if they offer it still my hopsital domt anymore but I brought the aptamil pre made baby milk with teats so they can drink it like a bottle and no need to sterillise or bring bottles then xx

Thanks so much for that i will go and have a look again x

@Sonia these ones hun much better x
