Need not worry ma..
Sometimes mums think their baby has not a good feed but
studies showed that they can drink as little as 54 ml or as much as 234 ml of milk per feed.
Next Steps
All babies are different, but they all take what they need.
I advise mums to offer the second breast after feeding from the first.
If your baby accepts, then great, he obviously wants more. But if he says no, don’t worry. Let your baby decide – he knows how full his tummy is.
Health Tips
In my experience, mums often feel guilty and worry they’re not producing enough milk.
Ask yourself:
Is my baby growing and putting on weight? Is my baby alert?
Is he producing enough wet nappies and dirty nappies?
If all of this is happening, then whether he’s having long or short feeds, be reassured you’re giving enough milk.

Hi.
If baby is gaining weight adequately and passing urine normally, then your milk is sufficient.
