This is slightly off topic (sorry) but with regard to hospitals not providing formula - I assume that they still have some in stock somewhere as I can imagine situations where for whatever reason a mother had every intention on breast feeding but then can't.

Is her support person supposed to find a 24Hr chemist around and then make a decision about what sort of formula is best for the bub?

It seems to me that the pendulum has swung too far the other way.
