Here are five ways to tell if your baby is getting enough milk. |
- He latches on well and sucks vigorously, leaving your breasts drained after feedings. Your breasts will feel noticeably softer.
- He wets six to eight diapers a day with urine.
- He has three or more yellow and loose bowel movements a day.
- He has gained weight at a healthy consistent rate.
- He seems satisfied after each feeding, and can go about two hours until the next one. If he gets frustrated during a feeding, it could be a sign he's having a hard time getting milk.
