How does one know if you are producing enough breast milk? My 1 week old baby latches fine and drinks milk till she herself detaches from the nipple. I can also see the thick milk residue on her mouth. Still after less than an hour she cries out in hunger. What should I do?

If baby is wetting minimum seven nappies per day then baby has fed well in the last 24 hours. Baby could cry for other reasons as well and not just hunger. It's just that moms find it easiest to latch the baby on as that quietens the baby and baby is comforted more from being close to the mother and her heart beat.
