During the first couple of days outside the womb, a baby will start out with drinking only
very small amounts of breast milk or formula and hence will have no need to pee very much either.
Not exact matches
It seems to me — and I am admittedly no expert — that nursing infants might take in less
milk for any number
of reasons that don't apply to pumping: they don't like the taste, the
very small amount of alcohol relaxes them and they are less hungry, etc. (Your
breast pump doesn't get tired when you've had a Guinness.)
And, learning how to use the hand expression technique is also
very helpful if you only need to remove a
small amount of breast milk occasionally.
Eating: Babies are born with a
very tiny stomach which makes sense because before your
breast milk is in, your baby will only eat
small amounts of colostrum, albeit
very frequently!
