breastfeeding

During breastfeeding even when the baby is latching how do we know if he is actually taking in milk or just sucking on the nipple. The first 2 days i breastfed my NB and despite him latching properly it appears he was dehydrated as he did not urine for more than 12 hours as such had to resort to formula milk

You can feel it. With proper latching there's sucking feel otherwise it's like ticklish feeling. Make sure you have to assist baby to latch on correctly. Maybe your milk haven't kick in too. Do you feel engorged?
