I'm like Rhichichi- my DD lost about 11% of her birth weight (not sure if you remember with your first one but the hospital usually does the official weigh in on damn day three when most mothers get the baby blues- stupid timing) and I was told by one midwife to express get hurry up my milk (it hadn't come in yet) but then in the same sentence she said I needed to top up with formula. DDwas very unsettled in the hospy too, she was one of only two or three babies on my floor that cried on and off all night! So I felt like I was being pressured and judged, but we stick to our guns and as others here have recommended we put DD on the boob all the time. I gave up on the idea of timing feeds or trying to feed three hourly or whatever and just fed whenever she cried basically. I had nipple damage and pain on one side and eventually decided to rest that side for four or so days by feeding off one side then pumping off the other. This was the perfect solution for me as it allowed time and space to heal the nipple but pumping isn't for everyone.

I clearly remember counting and examining wet nappies! It did my head in. I do remember someone telling me, when I was madly trying to see how much urine was in a dirty nappy, that poo counts as a wet nappy- something that just stuck in my mind!
