I want to try breastfeeding, if only for a few months. But def want to express so I can combine bottle and breast, as I hope this will make it easier to wean bubs off the breast completely, in good time for me to return to work.
Am going to get steriliser and bottles next week, and may get some formula, just in case I have major problems breast feeding.

i have tommee tippee bottles and sterliser for expressing!!! If I cant breastfeed for any reason hospital give you formula for whilst your in the hospital and there are plenty of people around me who can go and get some formula before I come home with LO!!

So determined to breastfeed though!!

I still have some bottles from my first, but they are still packed away. I don't plan to break them out or buy formula, because it's too easy to give up bfing if they are readily available. Also, you really shouldn't express/use bottles for at least the first month as it can interfere with bfing- so I figure I have plenty of time in that first month to get what I will need later.

Hi All

I breastfeed the last time and in the end couldnt get Benn to take to a bottle so i got stuck breastfeeding. This time i wanted to introduce a bottle earlier but i know nothing about bottlefeeding and was wondering what bottles and formula milk you ladies recommend?
