DD is 12 days old and is formula fed currently. I am trying to establish breastfeeding but not having much luck.
She has aptamil and has about 6 bottles a day. We had been waking her up in the night for a feed but I don’t think she needs it. DH seems to just give her a bottle to shut her up 🙄 he says she wouldn’t eat if she wasn’t hungry but I thought it was a reflex?
We can’t really agree and he’s not being supportive about trying to establish breastfeeding either. Thankfully he’s back at work on Thursday.
Are we overfeeding her? She was 9 lb 1oz at birth and is now 8g off her birth weight.
