Hi all - just looking for any support of advise out there. My little girl is 10 days old - she is getting regularly weighed as lost 10% of her body weigh from birth- when born was 7lbs12oz. She still hasn’t gained weight back and remains slightly jaundice.
I’ve been breast feeding 3 hourly at least unless she asks sooner (she has been very sleepy and difficult to wake or keep awake for feeding but I’ve been persevering.
Anyway I was quite ill in hospital and treated for sepsis - lost 2.2L of blood - Iv paracetamol antibiotics blood transfusion. I’ve since come home on and still on oral antibiotics.
For the past 3 days had fever - given paracetamol and increasing worse diarrhoea (yellow watery stools - sorry TMI). Spoke to OOH and advised continue antibiotics - get some Imodium (none in the house- arghhh) and of no better see Gp in the morning.
Little one has been feeding every hour- I think she is starving as she is not getting anything much out of me- tends to fall asleep on the boob after no much time.
I was so worried I ended up giving some formula as a top up - she took 15mls only and then soundly off to sleep.
Really have I done the right thing- has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I’m just looking for some advice and support really? Xxx
