DD, now 9 days old. Born 3.5 weeks early, and got very severe jaundice so had to go back into hospital at 5 days for UV light therapy. Jaundice came right down, and we were allowed out 2 days ago. She's getting sleepy again. When we were in hospital, she had formula top-ups as they said she needed more fluids to flush out jaundice and i couldn't express enough.
Feel like I have enough milk now, but she is a gentle/sleepy sucker (poss because slightly premature) so don't think she's getting enough. I have BF twice before (till 1 yr each time) so didn't expect problems this time!
Anyone got any advice?
