Newborn cries otw back from hospital

Hi mommies, ill be delivering in less than a month and would like to know. (KKH) What do we do or how do i feed my newborn if after delivery and we’re otw back home (assuming i live far from hospital) and baby cries for milk. But im unable to breastfeed due to either both unable to latch or my milk/colostrum have yet to kick in/too little. Any mommies encountered this before? Or what do i do ? Am i actually able to ask hospital for premade formula milk bottle for standby before going back incase baby need urgently? Since milk can last in room temp for atleast 2hrs. Want to prepare myself. #firstbaby #FTM

I just delivered. But not at KKH. You need to buy your own FM and leave it at home. Make sure you washed and sterilized all bottles on standby. Before discharge, request for hospital nursery to feed your BB (formula milk, they will give if you don’t have breast milk). They will sleep very soundly otw home and will not need to be fed for at least another 1-2 hours.
