I’m all for supplimenting with homemade formula if need be, but I believe there are other options to explore first- breast milk from others or a wet nurse type situation. I don’t have links to share at the moment but wanted to throw that out there.
Also, GBS screening, prevention and alternatives to antibiotics. Knowing what I know now, I am just appalled at the amount of antibiotics given in such circumstances. I had IV antibiotics EVERY 4 HOURS for OVER 24 HOURS- before and during labor, until the baby was born!

Thank you for this terrific resource! Between the very thorough article itself and the awesome additional suggestions in the comments, this covers everything! I am going to share it to my LLL page, and make sure my older daughters see it.

It’s hard when you’ve just had a baby even if you did all the research possible! I wish birth wasn’t such a hostile time!

I was bullied into this a few days after my daughter was born. I was sleep deprived and just didn’t know what to do. I also didn’t know that there was a liquid available although a newborn’s digestive system isn’t fully developed so I’m not sure if I would have opted for that route

Thanks Samantha, I actually hadn’t even looked into that. I’m pretty protective of my little ones’ digestive systems too, so I am really careful about anything other than breastmilk taken orally as well

No talk of oral vit K? For those that are interested in using oral, it is available at birthwithlove.com.
