How to know that baby getting enough milk?

Question

I really really want to breastfeed my child but the problem is after few latches he fall asleep and later he wake up and cry, and again i put him on breast, so i am not sure is he getting enough

Answer

Wet diapers. There is a set number based on age.

Answer

How old is he? Newborns have incredibly small stomachs and don’t require a lot. My daughter would fall asleep nursing just about every time and I didn’t think anything of it. Nurse as much as he wants, when he wants... ☺️

Answer

So many moms mistakenly think they’re not making enough milk when that’s not the case. As long as baby has enough wet diapers per day and is gaining weight appropriately, then you are fine!
Also: the behaviors you are describing are normal.

Answer

This is all sounds normal,  I would suggest trying to arouse the baby if they fall asleep quickly when nursing.  Lactation consultants have always told me to undress baby and change, when they drift asleep try rubbing them to wake, and use your finger to rub under the jaw.  But it is also very normal that they nurse alot thats part of building your supply.  And as everyone else said as long as theirs plenty of wet diapers you know baby’s getting enough.  Have you spoken to their pediatrician?  Idk if everyones ped is the same but mine was able to give me pointer on Bf and tell me how many wet diapers to expect
