Breastfeeding: Signs You're Doing it Right

Worried about breastfeeding? Here are signs you’re on the right track!

Your baby latches well, covering more of the areola below the nipple than above. Feeding feels comfortable, with just a gentle tugging sensation.

You hear swallowing sounds, there will be this rhythmic sucking and swallowing routine from baby.

Weight checks show that your baby is gaining weight consistently, confirming they are thriving.

You're changing at least 6 wet and 3-4 dirty diapers daily, this tells you that baby is hydrated and nourished.
A well-fed baby is usually content, not rooting, squirming, or looking for a breast immediately after feeding.
You’ll notice your breasts feeling softer after feeds and that let-down reflexes are happening—both great signs that your body is making plenty of milk.

If you have concerns, consult a lactation expert for personalized support. You’re doing great, mama!
