My baby is a week old. Born assisted with forceps at 38+5 weeks. We have been back and forth the hospital all week having tests but she's not above the treatment line so we keep getting sent back home. During the day she just sleeps, I can't wake her up to feed. I've been told to feed her every 3 hours but I can't wake her and when she does eventually wake up, it's nearly time for another feed! I was told to BF and top up with formula but she will no longer accept the breast (again will not wake up). I've tried nappy changes and stripping her off, skin to skin... I don't know what else to do :(
