Always look at the whole picture to ensure that baby's growth and development is with normal limits. The baby is getting enough milk if they: go through 6 to 8 wet nappies in a 24-hour period including at least a few dirty nappies wake for feeds by themselves and feed vigorously at the breast have 8 to 12 breastfeeds in 24 hours pass a soft yellow stool settle and sleep fairly well after most feeds is back to birth weight in about 2 weeks gain on average 150g or more every week for the first 3 months If your supply is low Milk supply is considered to be low if you are not producing enough milk to meet your baby's normal growth and development needs. Low milk supply is usually a temporary situation that will improve with appropriate breastfeeding support and management. Making more milk is all about supply and demand — the more milk is removed from the breast, the more milk is made. The less milk removed, the less made.
