HI all,
My baby boy is just over 3wks now. He was 6wks early and weighed 4lb 9oz. He is now 5lb 3oz so doing well.
He had 1 week in SCBU after being discharged by the hospital I delievered in, as he became very jaundiced and lost alot of weight.
I had to give formula when he was born as I had very little support to get him latched and being so small they wanted to get some milk in. I have been expressing since day 2 and get 120ml in 5mins so I know there is alot of milk there! He is now breastfeeding on demand which is now anything from every 1.5hrs to every 4hrs. He is really good on the boob now but I have a couple of questions-
1) I dont seem to be able to feed him very discretely ?sp. Maybe its becasue he is so little and I am quite big up top? Will this get better? I am happy to feed in public but at the moment am having to get whole boob out which im sure people dont really want to see!
2) The last day or so he has been really struggling with wind, pulling his legs up and grunting/growling really badly. I am going to try some fennell tea but any other ideas?
There was something else but my Mummy brain has lost it!
Any help would be much appreciated
