DD is 10 days old and we were re-admitted to hospital at 6 days as she had lost a kilo from her birth weight (she was a big baby to start with). We were told we had to top her up with formula from a bottle or we wouldn't be allowed home. She put weight on and we let her out and now we are topping up with formula at home. I am also expressing and topping her up with that rather than formula when I can.
I expressed 70 mls yesterday so I don't think there is a huge problem with supply - however my confidence has really been knocked. Especially as she can feed for 45 mins and then still take 60 mls from a bottle afterwards. I feel as though I'm not capable of feeding her on my own
