Formula
My baby was born on Monday so is only 4 days old today. I wanted to breastfeed but she would not latch and all and wasn't feeding. She's lost a whole lb in weight over 3 days. Weighed Monday after birth then Thursday lunch time.
I've decided to formula feed as she isn't pooing or weeing.
Any advice on formula feeding?
Last night she had quire a few feeds, a couple times having 1oz every hour. She's also being sick a lot after drinking too. Is this because of her being constipated?
Any advice would be great.
Being sick after eating is more likely because she ate too quickly (i imagine she's really hungry if she had problems until now). Try to pause her feed every now and then, then give the bottle back to her, just so she slows down. Also make sure the top of the bottle is full of milk so she doesn't swallow a lot of air while feeding
