Is My Breastfed Baby Getting Enough To Eat?

It can be scary if you’re not sure if baby’s getting enough to eat. When baby eats from a bottle, we can see how much they’re getting but many moms worry when baby is taking only the breast and we can’t see how much is taking in. Good news! You can know that baby is getting enough. You can tell by counting how many wet diapers, is baby growing well and does baby seem satisfied after most feedings? Check out this video to find out what you need to be looking for to be sure that baby is getting enough to eat. *So many moms quit breastfeeding because they believe that their supply is low but most of the time it is not. PLEASE hear me when I tell you that if baby is fussy in the evening but satisfied in the first half of the day, your supply is probably not low. I’ll link another video here for you to check out later, that will explain this further.

I think they are an amazing asset in the first few weeks when you might be leaking milk. You can collect the milk and actually store it instead of letting it be wasted. They also add some air circulation and help with Some tenderness that might have happened in the first few weeks. I recommend having two so that you always have one clean and ready to go. I love these so much that I often give them for baby shower gifts.
