DS1 was in scbu for a week when he was born. I didnt start feeding him until day 3 but we overcame a lot if problems and he was bf until 15 months.
I am due to deliver by cs next week. Im wondering if I should expect any differences in feeding. Are newborns sleepy after delivery? A friend mentioned that cs babies can be mucosy?
Due to a family history of allergies its important that this baby is ebf from birth. My friend recently gave birth in the same hospital and was encouraged to give formula via syringe during the first night to help baby settle and let her get some sleep. If I feed on demand during the first nights is colostrum enough? I was thinking if there is a medical need I can ask for milk bank milk? I had planned on antenatal expression if colostrum but this baby is breech and doctor has said no incase it encouraged labour.
Any advice greatfully received
