*Formula feeding provision at CRH*

From 1 June, any parents who plan to formula feed their baby after birth at Chesterfield Royal Hospital will need to bring first stage powdered formula, bottles and teats with them to the Trinity ward.

People won’t be able to access formula milk from this date unless it is medically required or clinically indicated that their baby needs it.

This is not a new change; it is what we used to do before Covid, and we will be returning to this pre-Covid practice from 1 June. It comes after feedback from patients and families as part of ongoing discussions with the Maternity Management Team and Derbyshire Maternity Neonatal Voices Partnership (DMNVP).

By bringing in the powdered milk that they intend to use once they are back home, we can ensure that parents are given tailored support to help them prepare formula and give them access to sterilising demonstrations in our dedicated milk kitchen.
