Don’t worry about having LESS BREASTMILK SUPPLY 

If you see these signs – 

1. Your baby cries after breastfeeding
Babies cry for many reasons other than hunger
If there is no other reason – feed again. Babies get hungry again and again because they are growing so fast. If you feed more – your breastmilk supply will increase.

2. Your baby feeds all the time
Babies feed more frequently when they are growing rapidly. This is a good sign. Feed more.

3. Your baby wakes up at night to breastfeed
Night time feeds are essential to increase breastmilk supply. That is why your baby wakes up for feeds. 

Don’t worry even if you pump and find that there is no milk.
Pumping has to be regular to actually get more milk

There are 3 signs that show that your baby is getting enough milk – 
1. Your baby has 6 wet diapers soaked with urine every 24 hours
2. Your baby is gaining weight
3. Your baby is alert, active and playful through the day.

Of course, check with your paediatrician and ensure that they are satisfied with your baby’s weight gain and general condition.
