Many new moms wonder if their little one is feeding well, but there are easy signs to look for. * 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 – Babies usually regain their birth weight by 2 weeks and gain steadily after that. * 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 – 6–8 wet diapers a day after the first week means your baby is well-hydrated. * 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 – A baby who seems relaxed or sleepy after feeding is likely full. * 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 – You can actually hear your baby swallowing during a good feed. * 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Your baby sucks deeply and rhythmically, not just nibbling. If you are still unsure? Reach out to your pediatrician or a lactation consultant for guidance and peace of mind.
