Ebm and dbf
My Baby was born 11 days back. 36 +6 days gestation, birth weight 2.050 kg reduced to 1.850 . Doctor is advising both expressed milk and direct feed. Not to feed directly for more than 15 mins 2 hours once. My Baby is refusing to get up 2 hours once and he is more interested in taking dbf than expressed. Doctor strictly advised not to use bottles and use only palada cup. He is taking expressed milk only 10 to 15 ml .. can I use bottles. Is this capacity of a new born or am I feeding him less. Please help, I'm feeling very anxious
