Baby had been latched on beautifully for 2 days feeding incredibly well after birth, then got taken to NICU where he had cow and gate bottles and dummys (not happy about either). I could breastfeed once or twice a day when I was allowed to be there and he continued to feed well.
I was expressing and could get about 60mls-90mls each side.
Now since leaving hospital I felt he was getting better, each breastfeed needed less and less formula on top, started off needing about 2.5 oz then down to 1oz or basically none. Now he seems to have lost interest and I'm having trouble seeing how to get back on track, he just needed 4oz of milk he's only just over 1 week old!
One midwife said to carry on as we are. Another said to breastfeed every other feed so I have enough. His latch seems fine when he's compliant. I'm stuck anyone have any advice?!
