producing enough milk?

Ary’Anah

How do i know if my newborn is getting enough milk during a feeding from the breast? she feeds for about 10-15 every 2-3 hours and will sometimes spit up a little after. i’m afraid she won’t gain weight like she needs and i’m not sure if she’s getting enough milk.

Wet diapers. After 6 days old, 6+ wet diapers a day equal plenty of milk. Some babies are happy spitters!

Like the others said if there are plenty of wet diapers and seedy poops. I just want to add that if baby is spitting up, a burp might be needed and they will likely re-latch after. It took me nursing 3 babies to realize this lol
