I know I'm being a bit daft, but I need some reassurance about my breast fed 2week old.
After 3 days DD refused breast so spent just over a week on purely expressed feeds. I got used to keeping track of how much she was taking in, she was even back over her birth weight by tuesday. Now she's back on the breast most of the time, having about 1 bottle feed in the night when we're both too tired to make breast work yet. But I can't help but be a bit paranoid that she's not getting enough milk since I can't track it anymore. She seems absolutly fine and feeds reguarly for a decent amount of time so I'm sure I'm being silly, but she often suckles for a minuite, delatches, then does the same again for about 5 minuites.
So I've got to ask you more experienced ladies. How do you know they're getting enough milk? How long did it take you to feel confident about it?
