How can I tell if my baby is getting enough of my breast milk?
As the amount of breast milk you’re giving your baby at every feed cannot be measured, here's what you can do to to see if he's getting enough to eat:
- Watch for his weight gain which is supposed to be around 200g per week.
- Record the contents of his nappies; He should have a minimum of four wet diapers and three dirty ones per day. His urine must be clear or pale, and his poop must be seedy yellow.
