But really
in adequate weight gain, at any point in the first year could be a sign that her supply has decreased at some point.
Most mothers obtain more milk in less time when they use a hospital - grade, double, electric RENTAL breast pump until all multiple - birth infants can latch deeply / comfortably, suckle actively (and swallows are heard) 8 or more times a day, and produce the appropriate number of wet and stool diapers
for adequate weight gain.
Common problems associated with breastfeeding include the inability of the baby to latch on, painful nursing (i.e., sore, cracked nipples), poor milk production and a lack
of adequate weight gain by the baby because they are not getting enough food.
If HA was caused by energy deficiency / metabolic stress, is there any indication on how long it might take for menstruation to resume
after adequate weight gain back to normal?
Ultimately, the gold standard of knowing they are getting enough milk is
an adequate weight gain.
You should be able to allow baby to sleep 4 hours at night as long as baby is having
adequate weight gain and having good feedings during the day.
