Kimmy – thank you, We was weighed on day 5 which was 3.12kgs and his birth weight was 3.18kgs.
My boobs don’t feel full, well I don’t think they do. The midwife said they are meant to feel really hard like getting a boob job done lol but it surly hasn’t felt like that at all, they are still soft.
Marcellus – He birth was great no complications and no jaundice. He weighed 3.18kgs and 46cm, but at day 5 they weighed him and he was 3.12kgs. He seems to feed great on formula but when it comes to my boobs, he seems to not get enough. He was tongue tied at birth and because he wasn’t latching etc, we got it cut and he seems to be latching on great now but still wont feed as much.
Barb – thank you as well. It was hard work being a new mum. I just want the best for my son and hate seeing him sad. Im working on just using breastmilk and also going to the docs to see what they think if I need a supplement to bring more milk in. I want to breastfeed for as long as possible.
Thanks you all for the advice, it has helped a lot. I will continue to breastfeed for as long as I can.
