Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk?

💡 It's natural to worry about milk supply, but most mothers produce enough milk for their baby!

🔎 Signs That Your Baby Is Getting Enough Milk:

✅ Wet Diapers: Your baby should have 6-8 wet diapers per day after the first few days.
✅ Weight Gain: While babies lose some weight initially, they should regain it by 10-14 days and continue gaining 150-200 grams per week.
✅ Stool Color: By day five, your baby's stool should be yellow and soft, indicating they are getting enough milk.
✅ Baby's Behavior: A content baby who sleeps well and shows steady growth is a good sign that they are getting enough milk.

 

 

📌 What to Do If You Feel Your Milk Supply Is Low?

  • Nurse your baby on demand rather than on a strict schedule.
  • Ensure a proper latch to stimulate milk production.
  • Try breast compression during feeding to encourage milk flow.
  • Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet to support milk production.
  • Consult a lactation specialist if you have concerns about milk supply.
