Is my baby getting enough milk?This is a featured page

Instead of measuring the ounces going in, as you would with a baby drinking formula, breastfeeding moms count what’s coming out. In the first few days of life, your baby will have a minimum of one to three wet diapers per day.

From day four on, your baby should have at least five to six wet diapers and one to three dirty diapers every 24 hours.

All babies lose weight after they are born. Normal weight gain is three to seven ounces per week. A breastfed baby should be back at birth weight by two weeks. Your pediatrician will weigh and measure your baby regularly.
