no... not breast feeding. On his 2nd day in hospital the nurses put him on formula because he was screaming all the time. Turns out he lost 1/2 a kilo by his 2nd day. After going onto formula, he increased weight. I've tried to breast feed. I've spent a day at a lactation centre. But it just isn't happening. At times I've tried to express for an entire day - and managed to get 20mls out of both breasts. Even the lactation centre said I shouldn't bother with breast feeding. I try to express occassionally - but same results (10-20ml) and I put him on the boob occassionally - but I think it just soothes. He really doesn't like the boob. You can see the look of dread when I lift my shirt up!
