@walkers-mom, she had to go under the blue lights in the hospital , we almost didn’t get discharged the same day because she was slightly jaundiced and then they thought they heard a heart murmur 🤦🏽‍♀️ which turned out

To be nothing . He should be fine as long as he’s eating well

@danielle.saunders02, he’ll be a week tomorrow and it’s still on . I’m hoping his weight is up . And i have to Keep an eye on his jaundice to make sure it doesn’t get worse

@walkers-mom, we had to go back literally the next week , but she came back up . She’s so tiny . Her umbilical cord fell off after a week too which surprised me , thought it would take longer

@danielle.saunders02, he did too we have to go back in 10 days to make sure he’s back up his dr said to give him 2-3 ounces of breast milk

@walkers-mom, she eats usually 2-3 ounces . Sometimes she’ll want an extra ounce . She gets fuller off formula I’ve realized . Her pediatrician said feed her as much as she wants as often as she wants . She had lost more of her birth weight then they liked but when we went for weight check she was back over her

Birth weight .

@danielle.saunders02, how much does she eat? He’ll do almost 2 ounces . I notice when i give him my milk he wants more because he doesn’t get as full like with formula. The most I’ve gotten is 4 ounces In 1 pumping session. I usually get at least 2 every time

@walkers-mom, I use both. When I can’t get enough for a

Bottle I’ll give her the breast milk first and then give formula to make up the rest of the amount she usually eats . She eats pretty well though thankfully

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, my boobs are tiny lol! Just depends on the baby. He has a tiny mouth as well and likes to suck on his tongue

@danielle.saunders02, I’m glad I’m not the only one that has this problem lol! I’m supplementing formula when i have too. Today all’s he had was breast milk but usually st night i have to give him formula too

I had the exact same problem , she won’t latch even with the nipple shield so

I just pump and give it the her

@walkers-mom that makes me a little nervous because my boobs are big. I'm praying i can breast feed

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, yeah I’m just glad i can still give him my milk

@walkers-mom awwww okay

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, he has a really small mouth so he only latches onto my nipple instead of the whole thing .. i even tried nipple shields with him and there not working

Not sure if this is true but i heard of you put something sweet on their lips it helps them latch
