I thought i was finished giving the formula top up after Griffens pre-bedtime nightly feed,, but yesterday he just would not have a descent sleep all day,, and i was feeding all afternoon long,, so by the time it came for that feeding at 12am in the morning,,, i gave both sides,, he was still protesting,, so had to give him 50ml formula too,, then had to lay down with him just so he would nodd off.
My milk did not come in till day 8 mind you though,, and in hospital they did not want me giving formula,, so much so that by day 4 when all he did was scream out of hunger even after i had given him all the first milk i had,,, the paeds finally stepped in and told the midwives that he was starving to death and to give him some formula topups,,, as he has totally stopped weeing and pooing (damn midwives thought i was just being a neurotic mum) he lost way more then the 10% he was allowed through this, and was quite jaundiced,, but thank god we persisted with the BF's and now he has only had to have that one top up feed for the last 5 days.
Good news though,, my woud has finally started to settle down a bit and does not leak too much at all now,,, hopefully in the next few days the holes will start closing up!!
