 Newborn eating question !
I had 2 babies born yesterday and had a question. The boy is smaller than the girl and seems a little slower than her too. He was born first (naturally) after the vet moved him up into the birth canal better. Once born they never forced him on a nipple so he was pretty much all day not on and then Meiah had a c section and he was seperated from her.
Once home, I was able to get him on. But I never see him on, on his own. And I'm not able to get him on now either.
When we got home last night he weighed 4 oz (116 grams) He hasn't lost weight , today he weighs 4 3/8 oz (122 grams) BUT I have not seen him on her eating so I'm a little concerned about him. Should I ?
Should I start to supplement him? I'm just worried about him and may be over reacting but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I slept right next to them and did fall to sleep a few times but still have not seen him on her on his own and so far today I can't get him to latch on. And no weight loss.
What do you think? |
