Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
    

   A great indicator of whether your baby is getting enough breast milk is if he/she sleeps for a couple of hours right after being breast fed.

2. Another great sign that your baby is getting enough milk is when you hear a suck then pause pattern. Don't let the clock determine if your baby has had enough. Any time between ten minutes to an hour is a good indicator.

3. When your breasts feel full before breast feeding then soft after you have breast fed your baby, that is a sign that your baby has had a good "meal".

4. Poop is a very good indicator as well. Yellow, grain poop three times a day is a good indicator that your baby is getting enough milk with the exception of newborns.
