So if we plan on formula feeding, are we suppose to bring bottles with us? Do we need to bring formula or do they provide it? (please don't comment with the whole breast is best stuff, it's simply a question)
Do we have to talk politics on here 🙄
Do Not Post TMI Photos in this group!!! This is a group of ladies that are kind, encouraging, understanding and caring of any problems you may have ttc. You can ask all the questions you want, if this group is capable of answering, we will do so. But this group does not appreciate the TMI photos. We will report them. So if you seriously need to post a picture of your bodily fluids, please do so in another group. We are not trying to be rude we are just trying to keep this group clean and happy.
What do YOU judge Clearly, no one is a perfect parent nor do we know everything. But what’s something you judge a parent off of or just irks you?
⚫ QUESTION⚫ what's the story with this stuff? At 9months, do we stop formula feeding and switch from formula to this? Has anyone used it? What do you think? FTM, and I'm learning as I go! Haha!
ladies I do believe we have a fake 😒

I would check with your hospital. I'm not completely sure, but I get the impression that my hospital does not provide formula (unless it's a premi need). They are VERY pro breastfeeding. I don't think they will stop you, but I'm not sure if they provide you with the resources unless it is medically necessary. On a side note, they also do not provide pacifiers. We were told to bring one if we wish to use one.

@ngujen, a good friend of mine had a baby in July and they refused to let her bottle feed or to let her baby have a pacifier! They said it was because of regulations that are part of Obama care stating that unless there is a medical reason or specific situations then moms must attempt to breast feed.. I never heard of such a thing until she had her baby. She is bottle feeding and it was a public hospital. Craziness!

My hospital provides it and sends you home with some as well :) if you want to use a specific type of bottle though, bring your own. They don't give you any options, they just have one type they give and I remember thinking I would want to bring my own

I would ask your doctor because a lot of hospitals (I don't know about TX) don't/can't support bottle feeding under new Obama Care regulations and won't "allow" bottle feeding unless specific circumstances occur ie premie or health concerns... In NJ hospitals aren't allowed to have newborns have pacifiers even if the parents brings them!
