Where's the milk?

It's been 2 days since Diya was born. We're still in the hospital. Gayathri is recovering well. But we're still trying to get Diya to latch and breast-feed. Yesterday it seems that we had it down, but today she seems to have forgotten the technique. Perhaps its because the milk is not in yet. We're still making collostrum, which is harder to eat!

In fact, the pediatrician recimmended substituting the feeding with some formula since her weight had dropped below the 10% threshold. She gulped that down greedily. Poor thing, it's almost like she's starving!
