Newborn formula

Hi mummies. I’m due in a few weeks or anytime now, literally. Do I need to get a formula for my newborn for standby? If yes, which brand do you recommend? #1stimemom #advicepls #bantusharing #pleasehelp

Personally I nvr thought of buying formula first prior to delivery. But my baby ended up in NICU aft I was discharged due to jaundice and the milk I expressed was not enough for him so he was mixed fed formula and bm. Hospital gave him NAN HA cz he has G6PD deficiency. So if ur baby or u or ur husband has no history of allergy, there's no need to get the formula with HA. So I guess up to u if u want to standby just in case. Or of course u can monitor first in the hospital, see if ur milk has come in and baby has sufficient wet diapers. If u think u need to supplement, can ask ur husband to buy before u're discharged. Tt's what my friend did as she did not want to waste a tin by buying before delivery.
