My 2nd DD is 10 days old, she was born by section at 40 weeks weighing over 9lbs. By day 3 she had lost 12% of birth weight.
She never really got past the sleepy day one phase. I wanted to exclusively BF but she was never hungry and impossible to wake.
We were sent to hospital for 24hrs (blood test showed low blood sugar and slight dehydration), and I was on a constant cycle of trying to bf, express and top up by cup.
She had gained a little in 24hrs, so they sent us home to continue this regime.
By day 7 we had her 50% tongue tie snipped which gave a small amount of relief to my now bleeding and v sore nipples (latch so bad I was screaming sometimes).
Only seemed to gain weight when we got home with top ups and I was struggling to express much, so couldn't always top up.
Made the decision to introduce formula, a bottle, buy an Elvie pump and bottle feed with as much expressed milk as possible.
However, she is still so sleepy (easily goes 4-5 hours) and when she does feed has 2-3oz max.
Midwifes don't seem to be that bothered as there is some weight gain, albeit a few grams.
I'm worried something else is up, anyone with similar experience?
