💡 Ask the Expert👩‍⚕️: How do I know my baby is feeding enough?

It really depends on why your baby is crying. If you have recently fed your baby, and feel that she was actively feeding until she was satisfied, then I would look at why else she might be crying and try to fix that first. Is she showing signs that she might have wind. Does she have a wet or dirty diaper. Is she too hot or too cold. Or does she simply want to be close to your skin as babies do. It is totally fine to latch your baby to calm her if she is simply after some closeness with you and has a need to suck. You can think of your breasts as your little magic power that no one else has.
