How do you mammas feel so confident breast feeding and knowing they’re getting enough? The nurses said as long as she’s getting enough wet and dirty diapers than she’s getting enough, but it still worries me. She’s probably coming home with us Monday or Tuesday and I don’t want her to loose any weight. I just want her to be okay.
On a positive note she’s at her birth weight now, 3lbs 12oz. She had the feeding tube taken out and is keeping her body temperature regulated 💜

She is so precious 😍 I think as long as you’re keeping track of the diapers you should be good. Her tummy is so tiny right now, she doesn’t need much to be full 😊

If ur really worried u can buy a baby scale. Weigh before feedings then after to see how much she drank

I bought a scale and I track my son's weight.

I liked the app Sprout to keep track of feedings and diapers.

That’s the downside of breastfeeding. In the beginning it’s super hard to trust the process, but just keep going! It’s a learning process but it does get easier! Hang in there!

I did a trail pump and got about an oz out of each breast baby is a week old. Talked to lactation specialist and she said that was great so I felt better about my feedings

@megs03, thank you. Yeah, her minimum right now is 30 ml but she sometimes takes all the way up to 50
