My baby was born on Saturday and has had difficulty feeding since then. She doesn't have tongue tie, midwives checked that in the hospital. Midwives also said I was producing loads of colostrum and my technique was good. She does all the feeding signals but when I put her to my breast she becomes really frustrated and grizzly almost immediately, tries to latch on but only gets a bit in her mouth and then sort of sucks 2-3 times before she cries or occasionally falls into a light sleep.
She's had 1-2 poos a day since we got home on Sunday night so I assumed that the little drips she was getting from my breast would be enough. I'm really worried though because today I read she should be having up to 40 ml per feed, every 3-4 hours. She's had nowhere near this much.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Any advice welcome, I'm desperate to get this right for her.
Thank you
