DD is 4 days old and we were discharged from hospital only to return the next day. She never fed well from birth and is a very sleepy baby. She had jaundice so we had to go in overnight and she had phototherapy, they kept measuring the levels of bilirubin in her blood and they came back down to normal so they let us out. I was breastfeeding but she has never been that interested. I expressed for her in hospital and she seems happier taking it from a bottle. She is lazy and just lies with the boob in her mouth a lot.
She was taking about 40 mls of EBM and some off the breast but now this has went down to about 25mls and it takes me ages to get her to take that. She's still peeing and pooing well though but is still very sleepy.
Has anyone had experience/advice?
