What are the signs of adequate milk supply?

After giving birth, mothers are most concerned about the breastfeeding of their babies. We know that breastfeeding is the better method at the beginning, because it can better help babies, improve their body's immunity and prevent harm from diseases. However, some mothers do not understand what kind of situation indicates that their milk is relatively sufficient, so let us learn about the signs of sufficient milk.

① Number of breastfeeding times per day: Infants under 3 months old should be breastfed no less than 8 times a day. Before each breastfeeding, the mother feels her breasts are full, during breastfeeding, she feels the milk coming down and can hear the baby swallowing, and after breastfeeding, her breasts feel empty and soft.

② Infant excretion situation: pay attention to the frequency of urination and defecation of the baby. Generally, a newborn baby who has been born for 2 to 3 days may have 6 or more wet diapers a day and have soft stools in small amounts or more times.

③ Baby sleep: The baby can sleep quietly for 1 to 3 hours between two breastfeedings.

④Baby’s expression: The baby’s eyes are bright and lively, and he is responsive.

⑤Infant weight: A healthy infant should gain about 150 g per week (from 25 to 210 g).

Only when the mother has enough milk can the baby's needs be met, which will be more helpful for its physical growth and the development of various functions. Therefore, mothers can observe whether the above points are met. If all these points are met, it means that the milk is sufficient to meet the baby's nutritional needs.
