Whether formula or breastfeeding, you know by counting the number of wet diapers and bowel movements.
-Baby’s urine output: day 1 = 1 wet diaper; day 2 = 2 wet diapers; day 3 = 3 wet diapers; greater than 6 days old = 6-8 diapers in a 24-hour period.
-Baby’s stool should change from meconium to yellow/seedy in the first 5 days.
–3 or more good bowel movements and 6 or more wet diapers per day is a sign that the baby is getting enough breast milk.
-A letdown reflex is also a good indication that your milk supply has come in.
