What to look for: Breast feeding is best, but it's not always easy. It's not easy to assess how much breast milk your son is getting unless you're pumping & bottle feeding. If he's having at least 4 wet diapers/day, not jaundiced (yellow-orange) & isn't losing too much weight (>10% of birth wt), then he's getting enough. See your Pediatrician tmrw for a wt chk & exam. Consider a lactation consult.
