enough milk?

Question

How do I know if my baby is getting enough milk from me? She latches on perfectly and everything but I feel like I can always hear her tummy rumbling. She's a week old

Answer

If she's having 6-8 wet and/or dirty diapers a day, she's getting enough.

Answer

You can see a lactation consultant. They'll weigh her before and after a feeding to see if she's getting enough

Answer

My husband calls it the "milk coma". Basically are they satisfied after a full feeding, calm, kind of lethargic. 😂 a week old should be every 2-3 hours. If you're following that schedule and then baby isn't super fussy, run with that. It's such a worry, I almost wish they would go see through so we can see how much they're eating but it's a bunch of guesswork sometimes. You're doing great, give it a couple weeks and you'll start feeling a little more confident!!
