Olivia update -
She's had bloods taken via her heel - 3 bottles plus these two weird tube things - her temp is still low ( 35.8° ) they think she may have an infection somewhere. The word sepsis was used but my mum had that and was treated asap but they don't seem overly concerned so I'm guessing it's not that ? I'm breast feeding her every 3 hours & then topping her up with 50ml of formula. It was via a bottle but the most she would drink was 35ml so they are going to put a tube in her nose to make sure she gets the full 50ml. She has a bag on to catch her urine so they can see how much she is weeing. Since we've been here she's had two poops ( massive achievement for her ) & her nappies are all being weighed.
I feel crappy & worrying that milk isn't good enough for her. I can hear her suckling & swallowing but they feel like they aren't 're filling with milk after? I just want to breast fed my girl 😭😭

@georgina-ox thank you. They did them without really explaining what they were for. x

@carlybeanw how's your little girl doing today xx

@chesscalouise2 she's been feeding well, had Boob then a top up of formula (50ml) every 3 hours during the night. We've had loads of dirty nappies now too so it's all going through her. She's been sick this morning, & it was yellow which showed she was getting milk from me (I'm still worried I haven't got any). Shes being 're weighed at 6pm but the nurse thinks going from the plan the doctor set out we'll be in another night x

Aw bless her well am glad she's starting too feed more is the anyway you could check you've got enough milk pump or anything? X @carlybeanw

@chesscalouise2 I have been pumping and getting good amounts out too. They are using them to add to her feeds too. I have to pump 50ml which I did & then managed a 30 min feed after x
