Yes, I'm ordering one of those breast pump/steriliser/bottles kits. I won't get formula unless I need it - hubby can always pop and get some.

Im actually only planning on breast feeding for a couple of weeks then will be going onto bottles.
I cant stand hubby touching my boobs now let alone baby feeding off them! but ill give it a try as it is better for babe espicially in the first couple of weeks.
So yes i will be buying bottles, etc- still on my list to buy!

i am defo going to breast feed.

i was in boots today and bought the 'Tommee Tippee microwave steam and cold water steriliser' (came with 3 bottles and a brush). it cost me £19. i am not sure about formula as i am worried if i have it in the house i will give in and bottle feed the baby but at the same time i don't want to find myself in a desperate situation at 4am in morning! i will speak to my midwife about it.......

i plan to buy the breast pump six weeks into breastfeeding.

I’m going to start off breast feeding then move onto formula so have bought everything minus the formula, will get that once the baby is here.

I will be buying bottles etc anyways so that other people (my SO) can feed the baby. Im still not sure if im comfortable with actually breastfeeding either, so I may just use a bottle and express.

If I do breastfeed I wont be doing it for long, a few months.

Ive been getting lots of 5$ coupons for formula tubs anyways, so I may use that too.

Yes!

Breastfeeding has never been a problem for me, but I am going to do things differently this time. Going to try and express so that hubby can bond with the baby and will only be breastfeeding for a few months.

It's always best to have these things on hand.

I'm going to get a few bottles and a breast pump but that's about all!

i didnt have anything but when i left the hospital bought one bottle and formula only because they asked me to supplement for my baby as his sugar levels were low.
i never did this because my milk came in and i saw he was eating loads.
so ive still got the formula and am thinking of pumping so i guess the bottle will get use one day.

I will, but not before the baby is born. I plan on breastfeeding, and it scares the crap out of me, lol. But I think I can do it

At my prenatal classes, the nurse told me that the hospital sells breast pumps for 1/2 the price of the store and that she recommends waiting to buy one.

She also said that you should not be using bottles for a few weeks at least, as the baby needs a wide open mouth to breastfeed but with a bottle they don't need to suck with an open mouth, and it will make it harder to breastfeed it they are used to sucking on a bottle.
