Baby finally latched!!! Now what?

Question

I’m so excited my baby girl is three weeks and three days old today and she finally latched! She was late preterm born at 37 weeks and only weighed 5 lbs 13 oz at birth. Lactation consultant told me not to give up and when she got a little bigger she would latch. 
I have been exclusively pumping up to this point. Do I need to continue to pump?? How often?? How do I know if she’s getting enough?? So many questions!

Answer

You can keep pumping to build your stash. You don’t have to pump as often unless you want to. 
If she’s having enough wet diapers and gaining weight, she’s getting enough.

Answer

Baby will tell you when she's hungry, so you'll know she's getting enough if she isn't constantly crying to be fed. Just watch how many wet diapers she has and that will also help you know for sure. I personally pump once a day in order to have a milk stash for when I have to be away from my baby in the future, as well as just to have bottles for convenience when we are out and about and it's not easy to nurse.
