Am I producing enough milk?

Question

I’m confused..I’m a first time mom and a lot of the times my poops feel empty after my any eats (he only eats2-6 minutes at a time). If I’m gone from baby for a while I pump anymore from 6-12oz. Sometimes my baby screams while he’s eating, and SOEMTIMES when I switch him he stops crying, but other times he doesn’t want it. 
I always hear people saying “your boobs must feel huge” and they honestly don’t... 
“when I was breastfeeding when I heard another baby cry in public I would leak” which I don’t
“During sex my boobs would leak” they don’t 
“I can’t sleep on my stomach my boobs hurt” they don’t! 
This is why I’m confused...does this mean I’m not producing enough?,,

Answer

None of those things are indications that you are or aren’t producing enough. I never felt “huge” or “full”
and exclusively nursed for a year. As long as baby has enough wet and dirty diapers a day I wouldn’t worry about whether or not your boobs leak or feel full. Good luck mama

Answer

Not everyone leaks.  If your baby is growing and having enough wet diapers, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer

None of that sounds like low supply! If baby is fussing and latches to other side, they’re still hungry. If he’s fussy and doesn’t latch to the other side, he’s probably full. What you pump is not a good measure of how much you’re making. And not everyone feels the same. My boobs stopped feeling heavy after the first week or so and I didn’t leak very often. Once your milk regulates, that pretty much goes away. It sounds normal! As long as baby is having enough wet diapers then you’re making enough!
