Hi mammas,

A lot has been going on here. We were admitted to hospital for a couple of nights last week, very scary. Last Tuesday we had our newborn photo shoot and Alexis was a dream, but little did we know it was because she was heading into survival mode. Her feeding had dropped off really low and we think she got dehydrated. When we got home later that afternoon she wouldn't wake for her feed, and nothing we did would rouse her. So we rushed to emergency and we're seen immediately. The drs still couldn't quite explain what happened but she's home now and we're doing a combination of formula feeding and expressed breast milk. I needed some time for my nipples to recover, but have started her back on the boob today and she seems to he latching better.
We're still keeping a very close eye on her, particularly her weight and her colour, but have a follow up with the lactation nurse on Tuesday to hopefully get our being back on track.
