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

Absolutely. It is advisable to breast feed your baby on demand, especially in the early months to help establish and maintain your supply. And as I often tell the mums that I visit, our babies are mini humans and not robots. Just as adults eat differing amounts of food at different times of the day according to our appetite and how we are feeling at that time, so do babies. Babies also breast feed for many reasons. Being at the breast makes them feel calm, safe and happy so it is the perfect place to have them when they are crying or unhappy.
