Baby's stomach - infographic

Liz

When I gave birth to my first, the hospital had this picture printed out and taped to the wall of the corridor:

Still, anxious new moms kept nagging the nurses with these:

"I'm only making a few droplets of milk! How could this be enough for my baby? She keeps crying, she must be hungry!"

And the nurses kept explaining how the newborn baby has a teeny-tiny stomach and those few milliliters are just fine for now. Babies aren't always hungry when they cry.

I feel like a lot of moms need this info here as well, so here it is as a reminder.
