Gorgeous baby girl delivered by c-section 5 days ago after a prolonged but unsuccessful labour. Put her straight on my breast in recovery and she seemed to feed ok. Two days on and my supply began to slow down meaning she was feeding non stop but not getting enough. She began to show signs of dehydration and required top up feeding. This was started by cup, which after two days, she is now fighting and resisting. This means she is constantly hungry and only goes down for half an hour before getting hungry again.
I am seriously considering bottle feeding in order to satisfy her, but want to breastfeed if possible too.
Any advice/experiences for/against trying both. I would slways start with boob and move on to bottle onlu to top up, got sn express pump too ready and waiting back at home.
Going totally out of my mind! Please help#
