I think it depends on the hospital. If you give them a ring they will tell you. The hospital i had my 1st in provided formula in disposable bottles and you werent allowed to use your own (even though i breastfed i found out this information beforehand incase i changed my mind). The hospital i am delivering at this time provides formula but you can take your own. xx

Check with your midwife as a few are going to be withdrawing the free bottles of formula but most will still be providing them in the near future. What hospital is it?

As the others have said hun, you need to call and make sure. Mine provides the formula, bottles, teats etc, but they're all different. Good luck!

Id ask your midwife hun. All hospitals are different. If not, you can get the ready made small carton things instead of taking a big formula tub with you! Thats what i was advised to do x
