So Penny has lost even more weight only a little bit but she's now 10g under her lowest weight at 72 hours old when they obviously wanted to see a gain of some sort. We have been told she has a teeny tiny tongue tie but not a lot so there is no guarantee that having it snipped would do anything at all. Still going to have a meeting with the specialist but could be another week. If she hasn't gained by Monday we are being referred to a paediatrician. Not sure what else I can do. It's taking every ounce out of me to be feeding then expressing etc... Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so what did you do??
And at what point does it become selfish to keep trying to feed her myself rather than switching to formula. She is currently feeding from me for about 30/40 mins then can polish off 100ml of EBM. And still looks like she could take more.
When do the benefits that breast milk offer baby stop out weighing the babies need to gain weight?
