Not sure if this is the right place...
My baby boy is 6 days old and after a very rocky few few days, sent to intensive care for the first 2 days due to breathing issues, not enough milk to statisfy him so had to use formula but day 4 managed to fully feed on the breast and hasn't had formula since but I'm getting really stressed. Last night he wanted to feed for over 3 hours. He only stopped because I couldn't do it anymore and get my dh to try and settle him to sleep. He managed to and he slept for a few hours. Is this right?! Should be feed for such long periods?! I know his latch isn't great, painful for me and this is probably due to some tongue tie which has been referred.
I'm at such a loss with what's right and wrong!
