I had my baby just before 37 weeks and just under 2.5kg. The birth itself was incredible and the midwives who were in there with me were amazing….but I felt the aftercare was pathetic. I was so desperate to breastfeed yet it seemed to me that no one could really be bothered or had the time to help me properly. I wasn’t allowed to leave hospital due to baby being just under 2.5kg, yet I didn’t have anyone check on me or my baby, even to do obs for my whole first day in there. I just got given formula and a syringe. I remember just crying and crying and no one caring. Based on this experience, I pray to god I don’t have to stay in there for my second child.
