My hostpial said they don't provide formula, and that mums wishing to formula feed needed to provide everything themselves.

When I was at the hospital day stay (on day 4 after having DS) the LC was telling me that if my milk had not come in by day 5 or 6 and I felt that I needed to top up DS over the weekend, to use X brand of formula, 'cos thats what they use here at the hospital in the SCN'

So maybe they do not provide it to mums who choose to f/f from the start, but they do in some circumstances?
