5:03 am
absolutely catastrophic. we usually say newborn babies every 2 to 3 hours. however, due to the limited supply, but with forced to feed them every 4 or 5 hours instead. and this to fix that white had even though i didn't pull all the massage was but, but whatever milk we have is split equally amongst everyone. and this will definitely affects the baby's weight and then progress. additionally, given the poor health there and when they were admitted, they needed sufficient quantity of milk to support their immune system. and the current shortage prevents the babies from recovering properly, which means they have to undergo treatment for a longer period of time. and usually once newborn babies have recovered, we give them small doses of know to try and gauge their health and find out what recovering. well yeah, so however, given that limited supply, we're using a 10 percent glucose based solution to try and get them to stop crying. well, i'll get to mostly, i'm a, a snuff hi fi and add
