My baby boy was born at 36+3 he spent 3 days in scbu being tube fed then he joined me on post natal ward.
We were discharged two days later as we established breastfeeding.
At birth he weighed 7lb14oz then 3 days later he weighed 7lb9oz (day he got his feeding tube out) on discharge he weighed 7lb2 and 2 days later (today) he now weighs 6lb10.
We have been told to breastfeed 10mins each breast then top up with 2oz ebm while I express more.
Is there anything else we can do to boost his weight?
