Breastfeeding mommies how do you know your baby is getting enough milk? This is my first time being able to breastfeed so I don't know if she is actually getting enough.
If you try to feed but then give a bottle then you have to pump. If not you'll loose your supply.
It happened kind of as a joke but he latched like a pro. At first there were times that he would get frustrated so I would give him the bottle but then I learned that sometimes he's just not hungry when I think he should be hungry. They will almost always take a bottle whether they're really hungry or not. I had to learn to be patient with him. It's on his terms not mine.
@valrocks, was it easy for your little one to latch on? she gets frustrated and doesn't want to latch she did good this morning but when I tried agin she got frustrated and didn't want to. I had to use formula 💔 I'm going to try and pump to at least feed her that in a bottle.
Anytime. The best way to know is weight gain and wet diapers.
@valrocks I didn't even think of that. Thank you.
The more wet diapers the better. Some days I doubt my supply until I change my sons diaper and it's huge. That's all that good milk.
