‼️ HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR BABY IS GETTING ENOUGH MILK

Hello beautiful people 🥰❤️

How are you guys doing, I hope all is well with you all.

Today’s post is for all new mums.

We are still on the topic of looking after newborn babies. 

Today I’m going to talk more on how to tell if your baby is getting enough milk.

So here we go 👇

‼️ HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR BABY IS GETTING ENOUGH MILK

When you first start breastfeeding, you may wonder if your baby is getting enough milk.

It may take a little while before you are sure. 

However your baby will let you know, but wet and dirty nappies are a good indication, as well as hearing your baby swallow

✅ Signs your baby is getting enough milk

• Your baby may start feeding slowly then later followed by a long swallow. 
• You can hear and see your baby swallowing.
• Your baby’s cheeks stay rounded, during sucking.
• They seem calm and relaxed during feeds.
• Your baby comes off the breast on their own at the end of feeds.
• Their mouths look moist after feeding.
• Your baby appears content and satisfied after most feeds.
• Your breasts feel softer after feeding.
• You may feel sleepy and relaxed after feeding. 

HERE ARE OTHER SIGNS YOUR BABY IS FEEDING WELL!

✅Your baby gains weight steadily after the first 2 weeks – it’s normal for babies to lose some of their birth weight in the first 2 weeks.

✅They appear healthy and alert when they’re awake.

✅From the fourth day, they should do at least 2 soft, yellow poop every day for the first few weeks

✅From day 5 onwards, wet nappies should start to become more frequent, with at least 6 heavy, wet nappies every 24 hours. 

✅In the first 48 hours, your baby is likely to have only 2 or 3 wet nappies.

It can be hard to tell if disposable nappies are wet. To get an idea, take an unused nappy and add 2 to 4 tablespoons of water. 

This will give you an idea of what to look and feel for.
