Is my baby getting enough breast milk from me?

Is my baby getting enough breast milk from me? This is a question that I am asked frequently. The best indicator is the baby’s weight gain, during the first 3 months the gain is 1/2 to 1 ounce per day. The second 3 months the gain is about 2/3 of an ounce per day. A breast fed baby doubles their birth weight by 6 months and triples their birth weight by 1 year. This article is a good one to help a mother to know if her baby is getting enough breast milk.    https://breastfeeding.support/is-my-baby-getting-enough-milk/
