"I have been told I can’t produce enough milk for my baby. How can I tell?"

This is very rare. Ninety-five percent of women can successfully breastfeed their babies. Some mistaken signs of low milk production are: a baby who is nursing more frequently or longer than before; is fussy; isn’t following a "normal" schedule for weight gain or sleeping; breasts that don’t leak or are suddenly softer; no let-down sensation. As long as your baby is really wetting his diapers, gaining about a pound a month, nursing often and well, is alert, active and filling out, you are okay. If you feel your supply is low, try the above steps for increasing your production.
