My friend Helen reminded me about formula that is ready to feed that’s already prepared and in sealed, glass bottles. In fact, when Zannie was born I fed her with these while my milk came in. (That took forever!) To use these nursers you’d have to buy separate nipples. Careful too as some nipples for bottles are made of latex and that comes with its own set of health concerns and issues. These bottles are very practical since they are vacuumm-sealed and so you can bring them around with you without the formula spoiling.
I am not advocating formula at this blog. In fact, I’m supportive of breastmilk and breastfeeding. I’m here however to promote the useage of safe bottles and will duck out of the usual debates regarding formula. I want to provide a link to these bottles

in the uk when your in the maternity hospital, if you decide to bottle feed this is how you have the milk in sealed glass bottles, you just screw the teat (nipple) to the top.

Similac makes them too andyou can use standard bottle nipples and caps. I used Similac although the hospital gave us Enfamil. Enfamil caused upset stomach and gas for my son though….
