So glad hub has now had a decent feed. It will get easier from here. My experience was quite the same. Bub had no problems latching, but when on would only have a couple of sucks, then fall asleep and let go. They tried all the techniques to keep her awake, even wet cloth etc, but all it did was make her upset and in turn make it harder to get her on the breast. In terms of expressing and syringing into the mouth, I was advised to do this too. Was explained that sometimes after traumatic births (or even normal births) that bub lacks energy, especially if they don't get that first good initial feed. This then makes them too tired to drink or want to suck properly. So feeding them a small amount (we only did about 5-10ml) is getting some energy into them which hopefully will give them the pick me up and energy that they need to start feeding properly. It took around 48 hours before I was confident my dd was feeding well.
