If my baby is having enough wet diapers is she getting enough milk?

Question

So we’ve been breastfeeding and supplementing formula mostly relying on formula. But lately we’ve been trying to cut it out and just have her breastfed. She usually has 5-6 bottles of formula a day plus breastfeeding. She’s been on the boob a lot today and has had 4 bottles of formula in 24 hours. I just worry about her getting enough milk but she’s had 7 wet diapers and 3 poopy diapers

Answer

My pediatrician told me as long as she isn’t lethargic and has wet/soiled diapers throughout the day she is getting enough. If she becomes difficult to wake up for feedings and produces barely any wet diapers I would worry. All babies are different.. some poop everyday and some every three days. I also breastfeed and supplement with formula so I am sure your baby is getting enough as formula is very fattening/filling for babies.

Answer

Sounds like she’s getting enough
