Not feeding

Baby is 2 days old and is just not interested in feeding trying to feed him every 3 hours but he’s only having half an oz to one oz only. I’ve been told he is jaundice but worried he isn’t feeding enough anyone else going through this?

Jaundice makes them tired and not want to feed but it's really important they do feed as that's what helps cure the jaundice. Their tummies are tiny so they really don't eat much at all, but they do need to eat regularly. Is he having wet nappies and has he passed meconium yet? You should be due a day 3 check tomorrow so make sure to mention it

Do you change him before a feed? That sometimes helps
