100% the number one concern Sarah gets from new breastfeeding parents is “how do I know that my baby is getting enough milk?” This makes so much sense! Of course, you want to feed your child and be sure that they have what they need. Breastfeeding can be especially stressful because you’re not measuring how much is coming out of the breast and so it can be nerve-wracking to just trust that they’re getting enough. Yes, you should trust your body, but there are some tangible ways to know that your baby is getting enough milk. Of course, if there’s any concern, please bring it up to your pediatrician, but in general, if these signs are there, let go! Your body is doing it and keep going! It will get easier!
