BF interval stretch longer = milk ss drop?

Dear Fennho,
You aren’t going to like this answer but it really doesn’t matter. If your milk flow has slowed a little – that’s fine – it doesn’t mean the baby is taking less milk. The only problem is if you are very uncomfortable with the hard breasts – if no, then leave it – if yes, express a little out until you are comfortable again.
The only way to tell if your baby is getting enough milk is:
[1] Is the baby growing?
[2] Is the baby having six wet nappies every 24 hours?
[3] If under six weeks, is the baby having at least two dirty nappies in 24 hours?
[4] Is the baby feeding between 8 and 12 times a day (under three months)? Or about 8 feeds if baby is over three months?
The answers to these questions should be “yes”.
If the answer to question 1 or question 2 is “no” call me on 2548-7636 – as I don’t want to deal with failure to thrive questions on an open forum.
Best wishes,
SARAH
