Had my baby 11 days ago in east london and yh been told to bring my own milk coz they don't provide any more so you definitely need to bring your own but to be honest that depends on what kind of nurse you gonna have to look after you, some ain't gonna give you and others will, i spend in the hospital 5 days coz my baby was jaundice and i had one nurse that didn't care and was very rude and next day i had this lovely women that bring me milk and everything i wanted and hide my formula coz she said is unhygienic and i should use hospital one. But yh definitely bring your own just in case :) good luck

My daughter was born in London 5 months ago. They did have cow and gate infant milk on hand but they did NOT have diapers. If you intend to breastfeed they usually have pretty good pumps on hand if your baby has difficulty latching the first few feeds. I highly suggest attending the breast feeding classes once you have your baby. I wish I would have asked for more help honestly. My daughter  wouldn't nurse on my right side and I ended up using the Cow and Gate formula and no longer nursing by two months. We have also used aptamil and found success with both.

I used aptimil with my first and will be doing the same with my second..im not from london but i live in the UK and as far as im aware milk is provided in the little glass bottles with the teats in your chosen brand of formula..you can take your own though if you want.

I had my first in warwickshire 3 years ago and was in there for 3 days.. they had little bottles of different formulas for you to use, I used cow and gate basically because it's the cheapest and was pumping too anyway and my son was fine.i think it's kinda trial and error..

Yes you do. They have stopped providing it a while back. So be sure to take it in and some bottles. They have sterilisers there. Ive always used SMA gold with my son and daughter so I think when I stop feeding myself I will go on to that.  Alptimil is meant to be one of the best aswell.x
