I think hour feeding is adequate. Don't go for formula feed as far as possible. Monitor weight gain, urine output. No top feeds and no bottle feeds - never
Next Steps
monitor weight gain and urine output. if baby passes good flow of clear urine atleast 2 to 4 hourly. I think it's ok.
Health Tips
continue breast feeding only .
