Am I producing enough?

Question

I’m 11 days post partum and was supplementing formula in the beginning because my son was jaundice but now I’m afraid my supply isn’t meeting his demand. How do I know if I’m producing enough? How can I produce more. Has my milk even regulated yet?

Answer

If bub is having wet nappies, is feeding and sleeping you are producing enough. Don’t worry! Bub will tell you if he needs more and will feed more to increase your supply

Answer

Keep feeding and pumping. If baby has wet diapers and doesn't seem shrunken, you should be okay.

Answer

Are you breastfeeding him first? Make sure you do that and keep offering the breast to him whenever he shows hunger signs. Track his diapers and mood and that should be a good sign if he is getting enough.
