Deliver in Gov hospital (milk formula nred to buy and bring? )
First time delivery in gov hospital. Anybody know if nuh provide infant formula or i have to purchase myself?
I gave birth there in Oct 2020 and yes they provide GROW (the brand with the giraffe) formula where needed (like if your baby has jaundice and breastfeeding is not helping to bring it down). It’s the kind that already comes in liquid form so don’t need to mix powder with water, the nurses told me cannot be found outside, it is only supplied to hospitals.
Read moreDelivered there on Feb and yes, they do provide baby formula as my baby was in the NICU. They fed him Dulac. But do remember that NUH is a pro-natural hospital and they really encourage you to breastfeed your baby eventhough your milk isn't in yet. The lactation nurses there helped me to hand express my colostrum & milk to pass to the nurses in the NICU.
