How much is enough?
Your baby will normally stop feeding and release your breast when satisfied. The length of time will vary. You'll know that your baby is getting enough food when there is some weight gain (150-200g per week) and baby is alert and reasonably settled between feeds. The best indication is in the nappies and you can expect at least 6-8 changes every day!

Attachment
If your breasts are very full at the beginning of a feed, often the case in the morning, expressing a little milk first can help your baby to get a better attachment to your breast.

Leaking Breasts
Leaking breast are a common inconvenience, while establishing our milk routine. It could take up to 6 weeks or longer for supply to equal demand. As your production adapts to the demands of your baby, you may find nursing pads are useful between feeds. Some new mothers find that their breast milk flows simply thinking about feeding or hearing a cry. Look for a comfortable nursing pad, which is non-abrasive and does not have plastic backing.
