POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. You can check if your baby is getting enough breast milk by looking at these key signs:
1. Wet & Dirty Diapers
✅ 6-8 wet diapers per day (pale yellow urine)
✅ At least 1-2 stools per day (soft and yellow for breastfed babies)
2. Baby’s Behavior After Feeding
✅ Seems satisfied and calm after feeding
✅ Sleeps well for 1.5-2 hours after feeds
✅ Not constantly sucking fingers or crying for more feeds
3. Weight Gain
✅ Steady weight gain (about 500-1000g per month in the first 6 months)
✅ Not losing weight after the first 10-15 days of birth
4. Breast Changes After Feeding
✅ Breasts feel softer and less full after nursing
✅ Baby sucks actively with deep, slow sucking movements
5. Signs That Baby Needs More Milk
⚠️ Always fussy or restless even after feeding
⚠️ Less than 6 wet diapers per day
⚠️ No weight gain or weight loss
⚠️ Crying continuously and sucking fingers often
If you are worried about milk supply, try feeding more frequently, ensuring a good latch, and drinking plenty of fluids. Let me know if you need more tips!
