Hi. I have a 7 days old pre mature baby. He has started breastfeeding from today. My breast milk comes in droplets and not a milk stream. How would I know if my baby has had enough milk. And how frequently shall I breastfeed him

Hey<br>
Keep a check on pee count.... We cannot exactly measure the milk but if pee count is good he is full. Atleast once in two hours and parallely if crying for feeds as and when

<span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @5f6e0b33c0de03004572c596 </b></span> I m worried because m not sure how much milk is he sucking in. If I keep a gap of 2 hours wouldn't it be like keeping him hungry?? Or waiting for him to cry out of hunger and then only feeding him???

Hi<br>
If your baby pee count is six to seven times a day and gaining adequate weight then it's a sign of well fed baby. Also initially it will be few drops as you keep latching the milk supply will increase according to the needs of the baby don't worry. Include ajwain, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, garlic, turmeric, fenugreek in your diet to improve your milk supply.. Feed the baby every two to three hours.
