Chronology of events from last nite:
1/4: Happily discharged from hospital!
Day time full day of latch on BM, 25 mins each time on 1 breast, alternate breast
She was super sleepy and we take 45 mins to feed her 25 mins of milk.
No pee no poop.
11pm: BF for a few mins and she refused to suck,(despite unswaddling her, waking her up, massaging her body, rubbing her feet/palms), so asked CL to top up with FM of 30ML.
Hubby noticed that she had sunken forehead. RED ALERT.
Still no pee no poop.
12am: I wanted to try out how much BM i had, so I pumped. OUTPUT was 2 tea spoons worth of BM. MAJOR PANIC. Realized that we have been feeding her so little for the last few days.
STILLL no pee no poop.
2AM: I pumped for 15 mins and yielded 10ML for both side.
3.30AM: NO SIGN of her wanting to feed at all. CL took 45 mins to feed her 30ML of FM. After that 30ML, she curled her tongue so that we couldn't put the teat in. We then tried to spoon feed, and u know what? She spit out the milk. CL was damn stunned that she could do that. Told me that most babies at her age can drink 60ML with no problem. And most of them are hungry even with 60ML per feed. MAJOR MAJOR PANIC.
She looked so contented and was not hungry at all! What was wrong? Nobody knew!
Still no pee no poop as usual...zzz..
6.30AM: Time for her next feed. She was still listless and not hungry at all. THEN, tadah, at around 6.40AM, she pooped ALOT OF green sticky meconium out. Then we fed her 25ML of FM, with much difficulty.
7am: I pumped for 10 mins both sides and got 20ML of BM.
8.40AM: She pooped again. Black shit. And peed. She was rooting so we warmed up 30ML of my expressed BM for her. She finished all.
9.40AM: She pooped again. GREEN colored poo. Then she looked like she was hungry again. Let her latch on and BF for 10 mins on both sides. She suckled really well.
10.16AM: She peed again. Alot of pee. Heavy diaper. Looked like she was hungry again! Mouth opening and closing like she wanted to drink again. Intermittently she will cry for milk.
SO we bathed her, and just now at 1055AM, she drank another 20ML of FM.
PHEW. All of us can breathe again. I've been up all nite pumping worrying and driving myself nuts.
