The first week is a challenge for many breastfeeding mothers, as they wonder if their baby is getting enough breast milk, especially as they know their baby is losing weight (which is normal). Signs that your baby is getting enough breast milk include:
- On day 2, at least 2 wet diapers and 2 bowel movements that are likely still thick, tarry, and black
- On day 3, at least 3 wet diapers and 3 bowel movements, with the BMs becoming looser and greenish to yellow in color
- On day 4, at least 4 wet diapers and 4 yellow, soft and watery bowel movements
- On day 5, at least 5 wet diapers and 5 yellow, loose and seedy bowel movements.
