Milk supply
How to know my milk supply is low..I am getting enough milk for my 1month baby..while pumping I am getting only 20 30ml of milk..
These are few points that give hint that breastmilk is adequate:
1. Baby sleeps after direct breastfeeding for atleast 30 min.
2. Frequent (3-4 hourly) passage of urine on only breastfeeding
3. Leaking of milk from other breast while feeding from one side.
4. Adequate weight gain on only breastfeeding (approx 1 kg per month for first 3 months).
There can be difference in milk output in feeding and pumping as feeding itself stimulates more milk production.
Next Steps
have lots of fluids and nutritious diet.
frequent breastfeeding
