The baby blood sugar levels were pretty good, at 2.9 and they have to be over 2.6. She has been told that she has to bf every 3 hours, and the baby was held to the breast in the theatre to avoid a hypo.
Now as pro bfing as I am, I know that medically the babys blood need to be stable, but does any one have experience of this.
Predictably there has been no offer of specialist help to bf, only usual crap support offered on maternity wards (sorry sure some midwifes are good, but a lot aren't)
I am worried that this could lead to her not being bf, as the first couple of days are so important. My sil really wants to bf, its her first btw
What annoys me, that they are saying the baby doesn't know how to feed, I guess this happens, but surely its more likely that the latch isn't right or sil hasn't been helped enough. Baby is midterm btw, and alert and healthy.
Thanks in advance.
