I can't seem to get enough milk for my daughter. They want me to breast feed and use formula because she has jaundice & she has to be under the blue uv light...and we are trying to get things moving along so we can take her home. But nothing is working. She just keeps throwing all of it up.../: any suggestions?
They told me that her vital signs are fine. Just the jaundice is an issue right now. I have to switch between formula and breast milk at the moment...
Eat lots of fruit, veggies, & grains. Also I've been told drinking 100% fruit juice, different kinds or whatever, helps.
Is she losing to much weight? Be careful I had one nurse tell me my daughter wasn't getting enough and I tried a supplemental formula and it made her so sick and her stomach messed up. The next nurse told me unless she was losing weight (10% of her body weight or more) and they would say something, that they are getting enough. Their stomach is so small anyways so they are getting plenty. Haven't used the formula in a day and a half and my little girl is back to normal
So right now she's getting both breast milk and formula...
