POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. If your baby is not latching properly, it can be concerning, but there are a few ways to ensure she is still getting enough milk. First, observe if your baby seems content after feeding, with fewer signs of hunger such as rooting or sucking on her hands. You can also monitor the number of wet diapers your baby has — typically, a 1-month-old should have about 6-8 wet diapers a day, indicating proper hydration and milk intake. Additionally, listen for swallowing sounds while feeding and check your breasts for a decrease in fullness after feedings, as this indicates milk transfer. If your baby continues to show signs of hunger or isn't gaining weight steadily, consider consulting a lactation consultant to improve latch techniques and ensure your baby is feeding efficiently.
