How do I know if my baby is getting enough breastmilk?
In the first few months your baby needs to nurse 8-12 times in a 24-hour period. Before your milk “comes in”, your baby should pass at least 1-2 black stools and have 1-2 wet diapers in a day. After your milk “comes in”, your baby will have 3 or more yellow, seedy loose stools per day and by day 5-6, you should see 5-6 wet diapers a day and thereafter 6-8 wet diapers per day.
