after a bit of a nightmare few days breast feeding...I have now switched to formula and although I am happy with my decision I am worried that Bella is not eating enough.
She is now 5 days old and feeds pretty much every 3 hours, however she only takes a maximum of 50mls, sometimes only 30mls (1oz).
My midwife said she should be taking between 60-90mls (3oz) but she just falls asleep and refuses anymore. Is this normal or should i be concerned that she is not feeding enough?
