How to tell if you have enough breastmilk

Breastmilk is enough or not can be judged from the baby’s eating frequency, weight change, stool condition and so on. 1. Baby eating frequency: If after each breastfeeding, the baby’s expression is more natural and relaxed, able to sleep peacefully, and can sleep 2 to 3 hours before eating the next meal, it means that breast milk is enough to eat. If the baby has just finished breastfeeding, the interval of 1 hour, or even half an hour or so later appeared to cry, want to eat milk, it means that breast milk may not be enough to eat. 2. Weight change: When the breast milk is enough to eat, the baby’s weight gain is generally within the normal range. If the baby’s weight increases slowly, it means the breastmilk may not be enough. 3. Stool condition: Breastfed babies usually urinate more than 6 times a day and poop about 3 to 4 times a day, and if the baby’s stools are thin and mushy, it means that the breast milk is enough to eat. If the number of stools and urine becomes less, stools become thin, green foam and other abnormalities, it suggests that breast milk may not be enough to eat. If the breast milk is not enough to eat, you need to strengthen the nutrition, usually eat more food conducive to breastfeeding, such as crucian carp soup, pig’s trotters soup, etc., and go to the hospital to seek medical help if necessary.
