💭 “How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?”
If you’ve asked this—you’re not alone 🤍

Here are a few reliable signs we look for 👇

🍼 Weight gain
✔️ Back to birth weight by ~14 days
✔️ About 6–8 oz per week (or ~1 oz/day on average)

⏰ Feeds
✔️ 8–12 feeds per day in the first 2–4 weeks
✔️ At least 8 feeds every 24 hours after that

🚼 Diapers don’t lie
✔️ Days 1–4: one stool + one good wet diaper per day of life
✔️ After that: 3–4 stools & 5–6 wet diapers daily

👶 And remember baby’s tummy is tiny!
Milk volumes increase gradually—from teaspoons on day 1 to ounces by one month. Small amounts, very often = totally normal 💫

Still unsure or feeling anxious?
Support is always okay—and you don’t have to figure this out alone 🤍

📲 Call or text us anytime to talk it through.

Based on a Duke University study published in Science Advances in 2019, growing a baby is energetically comparable to or more demanding than running a marathon every day for 9 months. The study found that pregnancy pushes the human body to its metabolic limits over a long duration, in a way that is similar to elite endurance events but sustained for much longer.

Energy costs during pregnancy:

Pregnancy is an extreme feat of endurance because the body works constantly to grow a new human, even at rest.

📑Total calories: Pregnancy requires an additional 50,000 dietary calories over nine months. The mother’s body provides 96% of this energy.

📑Cardiovascular demand: To support the growing baby, a woman’s blood volume can increase by 30 to 50 percent, and her heart rate increases by 10 to 15 beats per minute.

📑Metabolic demands: The body’s resting energy use can rise by up to 30%, meaning it works much harder even when stationary. While a marathon is a discrete event, pregnancy is a continuous process of biological transformation. The comparison highlights the total metabolic output over the long term. A woman’s heart, lungs, and metabolism work overtime every day for nine months, making pregnancy one of the most intense and sustained physical challenges a human body can undergo.
