How do you know if your baby is getting enough milk? One of the easiest signs is to pay attention to what's coming out the other end. The color, texture, and frequency of poops and wet diapers will tell you a lot. Other signs that your baby is getting enough milk may include:
Your baby is satisfied and content after feedings.
Your breasts may feel softer after feedings.
Your baby breastfeeds at least 8 to 12 times every 24 hours, including at night.
Your baby is gaining weight.
