Where to start? Been breast feeding since ds was born 7 days ago. On wed we ended up in hospital because he had lost so much weight. Hospital said my supply was poor so I topped up with formula. They had me feeding every 3 hours from the breast then topping up with as much formula as he would take (80ml was usual). We got out today and I've been working closely with bf support. They say there is no problem with my supply and that the top ups are not needed. Have advised me to feed on demand but not lat him go more than 3 hours.
Today he breast fed from 1.00 till about 30 mins ago, having 30 mins on boob them 5/15 mins rest then wanting noob back. I've just broke and given him a formula top up because in hospital he was sleeping for 3 hours and being woken for feed.
I don't know whose advice to follow. I'm terrified they will come to weigh him on mon and well end up back in. I really want to EBM, but not at the cost of my babies health.
Since starting the formula he is also very windy, lots of pumps and seems in pain with them. Any advice?
