Porsha was born at 38 weeks of pregnancy along with her twin sister. Porsha weighed a healthy 6lbs 10oz she was born via csection. She wasn't upto upt temperature so had to go into the incubator for a few hours. She also couldn't latch onto the breast and bottle very good and when she did take some she would bring it back up with muccus. She would sleep all the time and wouldn't wake up for feeds. The hospital was happy to discharge us after 48hrs. Porsha would just not wake up for feeds so we would feed every 3hrs she would only take 30ml and then vomit back up. At 4 weeks diagnosed with reflux but still didn't work she started getting respiratory infections so was put on Antibiotics. It became a reaccurance.
