pumping question?

If i'm pumping should I bring my own bottles to the hospital?! I was hoping to pump and save so I could use it when I get home since we are using formula and pumping. Just no way to save it while in the hospital.

No. They'll provide Snappies or the equivalent to store the milk in. Are you having the baby soon?

They didn't provide anything at my hospital, they didn't even provide breast pumps. But they did have fridges in the rooms.

Wow, really? My hospital provided everything.

Yep. It was at a very small hospital.

They had a LC but no pumps. It really didn't make much sense to me.

No, not that i'm aware of... I have lost my mucus plug today.... but I was curious how it worked since i'm doing both bottle and pumping...

I have my own pump, I bought a single electric... light weight and easy to carry... would love it if they had a fridge in the room.

I would bring some breastmilk storage bags, just in case. Good luck! You're getting close!
