A member asked:

What should i do if i suspect low milk supply? what are the signs besides weight and diapers as i've been supplementing, so he is getting enough.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Got milk?: Usually weight checks and urine and stool output are the best way to determine whether a baby is getting enough to eat or not. Steady weight gain and "pee and poop" is an indicator that breast and/or bottle feeding is doing its job. Worried about total milk supply, then "google" the herb fenugreek. Taken regularly, this herb and plenty of hydration can really help a mom's breast milk supply.
