Hi mummy, do take note that now government recommends breastfeeding so much so that the doctors and nurses are not allowed to recommend giving formula, but you can ask for it. Do let the nurses know if you required formula to be given to your child for any reason. My first born was a big baby and i could not provide enough for him when i was in the hospital, the nurse was so thankful when i eventually ask for formula to be given to my child.
