Taffy, hospitals would have it on hand to use if absolutely necessary. The hospital I got to tell you in an info leaflet to bring in your own bottles and formula etc but I do know they have it there JIC - they aren't going to let your baby starve if something happened to need to use it. I think it is more that if you know you are going to FF, then they are on the same formula from day one and not having a few days on one kind and then you swapping to another kind once you're home.
