Hi, I am desparately hoping someone has something new I haven't tried yet. The baby I am fostering who was born at 9am yesterday and came to me at 7.45pm last night has taken no formula at all and is in fact gagging on the bottle. Birth mum wants to breast feed and gave him 3 feeds during his brief stay in hospital. He weighed in at 8lbs 7ozs. He has had 3 very black dirty nappys which are quite loose and he also seems to have a clear sort of mucus which he coughs or sicks up from time to time. He was given his first dose of vitamin K in hospital and I was given more of this to give him once a week. I know the community midwife will visit this morning but should I be ringing the maternity unit before then. I hope someone can help.
