"How will I know if my baby is getting enough milk?"

In the beginning you may wonder if your baby is getting enough breastmilk. One sign that your baby is getting enough milk is plenty of wet diapers (about 6 per day) and regular bowel movements (about 2-5 per day). Another sign of a well fed baby is a healthy weight gain. If you are not sure if your baby is gaining well you can check with your doctor. Babies have their own natural sense of hunger and fullness to guide them during breastfeeding. As you become more confident with breastfeeding you will learn to trust your baby to tell you how much he or she needs.
