[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. If you plan to BF, you don't need any bottles or formula. Having it around just makes it easier to doubt yourself and give up. Unless you had issues previously, I wouldn't even worry about it. [/quote] Bad advice. With my first, I planned on exclusive BF. I had no idea I wasn’t producing much. After discharge, at the 1 day well visit, he was already jaundiced and starving. They had to admit him, and give him an IV. Since it was post discharge, he couldn’t go to the NICU. They really struggled to get an IV in him. He was under blue lights for 24 hours. I started pumping to try and increase my supply. It barely worked. I had to supplement the entire time. My advice - be prepared and have a small amount of formula ready. [/quote]
