How do you know if your milk is sustaining your baby? I know why you keep thinking that your milk is not sustaining your baby. The first reason is that the baby wants to breastfeed all the time and the second reason is that your breasts become shriveled as time goes by. Am I right or wrong? So, when a baby is born, it is common for him to want to breastfeed all the time. And why? Because his stomach is tiny and can hold little milk, and breast milk is easy to digest. This is not a sign that your baby is starving. What's more, the baby does not go to the breast just because he is hungry, but also because he feels protected there. Now, it goes off the alarm if your baby does not let go of the breast, if he stays breastfeeding for a long time, he falls asleep during the feeding and when you take him off the breast, he wants to breastfeed again. It is also common for the breasts to become shriveled as time goes by. And why? Because in the beginning, the body does not know how much milk the baby will drink. So it sends a lot of milk so that the baby does not run out. But as time goes by, the body begins to understand the amount of milk that the baby is drinking and sends the amount that is sufficient for the baby and there is no excess milk in the breast. The breast stops leaking and becomes more saggy. But this is not a sign of low milk supply; 80% of the milk is produced while the baby is breastfeeding. The breast is a factory, not a storage facility.

Hello, I'm Mary, a mother of two! I decided to create this channel because I had a hard time as a first-time mother. I didn't look for information and had a lot of difficulties at the beginning, especially regarding breastfeeding. That's why I decided to study a lot about newborn care and specialized in breastfeeding, which is the part of motherhood that I can say I like most. Here on the channel, I bring a lot of information based on studies and also on my experience as a mother of two. I give tips on pregnancy, newborn care, breastfeeding, baby sleep, baby behavior, weaning and much more. My intention is to help you face this beginning of your journey as a mother, with more peace of mind. I hope the videos help you, with all my heart!!
