Hi,
Our 2 day old baby boy still won't latch on and as I am producing milk we are trying to keep up with demand by expressing and feeding him from a cup as the hospital recommended. Can anyone please advise how much we shouod be aiming to give him per feed (at the mo every 3-4 hrs)what the hospital suggested and what we have read elsewhere seem vastly different and the signs are that he is always hungry (he is a big 9lb 1oz lad). Also is the cup the best way to do this? I am worried it will make his lips sore & wondered if a pipette would be better?
Thanks - we are going slightly mad and really want to try & stick with breast milk but just not sure I can keep up with demand?
