You can look out for the following signs to see if your baby is getting enough nourishment from breastfeeding: 1) Your breasts feel softer after nursing, because your baby has emptied some of the milk. 2) After a feeding, your baby seems relaxed and satisfied. 3) Babies lose some weight after birth. A well fed baby would gain back his or her initial weight loss after birth, and continue to gain weight at a good rate. You can start baby with solids around the 6 months mark. Try simple things like single grain baby cereal or pureed fruits and vegetables.
