Is my baby getting enough milk?

Question

She’s one month old (almost 6 weeks). I’ve been ebf her but pumping daily to store milk for when I return to work. She use to sit at the breast for 15 mins or so and now it’s 5 mins. (Sometimes 15 mins though.) She still pees three or more times a day and poops every other day or so. She’s not unusually fussy either.

Answer

Babies 6 weeks and older should have at least 4-5 wet diapers a day, so I’d keep an eye on that if they’re only having 3. 
Babies to become more efficient as they get older so that can definitely explain her decreased feeding times. My daughter is 8 months and can usually get a full feed in 3-4 minutes now. 
Also wanted to tell you that as long as you’re going to be pumping while you’re away from baby, you don’t need a huge freezer stash. The only day I use frozen milk is Monday and then what I pump that day goes with my daughter on Tuesday and so on. Then what I pump Friday goes to the back of my small stash so I’m rotating through it. Don’t want you to have to stress too much over having a large stash for returning to work ☺️

Answer

Have you tried thawing some milk yet? 
I only had a small stash luckily and got my LO to try it and he hated it,full on throw head back, arched back and screaming. 
Down the sink it went and now can only pump and store in the fridge when needed. Luckily I'm a SAHM. 
Thank god I didnt add more to my stash lol

Answer

If she isn’t crying after a feeding, she is just fine!

Answer

Babies and your body can become more efficient. I wouldn’t be worried.
