“Am I making enough milk?”

This a worrying thought, especially when you’re tired and everyone has an opinion.

Frequent feeding alone doesn’t automatically mean low milk supply. But you deserve more than “don’t worry” when you’re concerned about your baby.

Look beyond the clock:
• Is your baby swallowing during feeds?
• Are wet and dirty diapers appropriate for their age?
• Is their weight gain on track?

These signs tell us more than fussiness, feed length, or how soon your baby wants to nurse again.

An LLLC Leader will listen, talk through your questions, and help you find information and support. You don’t need to wait until you’re overwhelmed to reach out.

This position can be a game changer! And for others it doesn't quite feel like it works for them (if that's you, firstly don't feel bad, it's not for everyone. But also, get some skilled support because there may be some little adjustments that make it click)
