Is my baby eating enough?

Question

So i have been pumping to help relieve some engorgement and also i loke to have some milk pumped ao my husband can feed to help. Lately I’ve been pumping about 2oz per breast and that’s if I’m lucky. Is my baby able to pull more than that when she breastfeeds? She seems satisfied after the breasts but i do still get worried it’s not enough.

Answer

If ur getting that much after baby has already nursed then yes it’s a good amount right now. Also be mindful that if dad gives a bottle u have to pump to replace a missed nursing session so it’s just more work on u in the long run 😬

Answer

The rule of thumb is if she gains weight and is pooping she is getting enough! Gotta trust the baby's body. 
Babies do pull more than the pump, when I pumped I did it for twice as long as I nursed and got some equivalency. But every mamma is different.

Answer

How much are you feeding from a bottle and how old is baby?

Answer

2 oz is a great amount to get while pumping
