Hi there, desperate for some advice for 8 day old DD and myself!
We started off ebf but she lost 12% of her birth weight so now we are also offering EBM and formula top up after each feed. Feeding 3 hourly. She has a little jaundice which makes her sleepy and getting her to latch and feed for longer than 5mins is a huge challenge.
Although she has put on weight now, the expressing combined with her not emptying my breasts regularly has given me mastitis.
I started antibiotics last night but the area of red has spread today, back to GP or wait to see if antibiotics kick in?
I am so confused about how to proceed, any advice gratefully received the doctor was not terribly helpful!
