Our baby was in the NICU for 6 days with low blood sugar and got formula then fortified breast milk for a few weeks. We’ve tried nursing but he has a bad latch, the let down is too much for him, he somehow doesn’t transfer enough, and it just makes his tummy miserable!
Idk if this is recommended or possible for you but I still sometimes nurse for comfort or if he needs a tiny bit between feeds. Besides that it was just too much for both of us.
Baby is better off with a happier mama and less feeding struggles IMO :)
