IS MY MILK ENOUGH FOR MY BABY? i FEEL MY MILK IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MY BABY; WHAT TO DO?

Hello again!

Many proud moms do complain to me,

1. My milk is not enough for my baby

2. He/she is continuously crying and hungry

3. He needs extra milk,may be he doesnt like my milk.

HERE ARE THE EXPLANATIONS:

REMEMBER: TEN points: MOST IMP POINT 7

1. Your milk is best for your baby. THE ONLY BEST!
If your friend is using top feeds for some reason, consult your doctor
before you think of same. There are reasons for both.

2. Even if you have twins, your milk is enough for both the babies.

3. Baby is born and milk is produced from breast in accord to each other.
So milk produced for a premature baby will be different than
that for the full term baby.

4. Every time baby cried doesnt mean that baby was hugry and needs milk.

5. If your baby passes urine more than 3-4 times a day, then by no means
baby is getting less quantity of milk.

6. You will feel your milk is not enough
because you never realised you can produce more milk.

7. Simple way to produce more milk for your baby is; feed the baby to breast
LONGER 920-30 MIN EACH TIME);
FREQUENT (EVERY 2-4 HOURLY); AND
fULL (EACH BREATS FULL = MIN 20 MIN), more u empty, more milk will come.

8. You will feel your baby doesnt like your milk, because:
You may be feeding less than 20 minute per feed, remember the last part of milk during a
30 min feeding session is tastier, healthier and calorie rich.

9. Baby leaves breast doesnt mean, he has taken his meal; NO; he had taken a break to burp.
So keep him to breast another 10 minutes so that he will take feed again.

10. YOU FEEL Your milk not enough, DOESNT MEAN THAT you have to use readymade feeds;
and by some way if u are feeding ready feeds to your baby doesnt mean u should stop
breast milk. ( unless mother is HIV positive; *consult your doc for details)

Yes rarely mothers milk may be not enough, when mother can be started on medicines
for the same.
