Is Your Baby Getting Enough Breast Milk?

Some new mothers wonder if their baby is getting enough breast milk. One of the major concerns is that bigger breasts produce more milk, which, is false. However; small breasted women have an easier time breastfeeding and because of this their babies may be healthier. To make sure your baby is getting enough milk it should gain about 4 to7 ounces a week after the first four days of life. If your baby is losing weight, contact your physician immediately.

Milk comes on demand, so remember that expressing your milk if you're away from the baby will help more milk come. A good tip for increasing milk supply is brewer's yeast which is rich in B vitamins, iron and protein. Mix about one tablespoon in a drink and you’re good to go.
