Check the weight of the baby. Are you giving pumped milk or is the baby feeding directly from your breast?

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
