We cannot determine the exact amount of breast milk an infant receives while breast feeding. At best, we can estimate whether the infant is satisfied/full, which can be guessed from the following indicators:
-the infant's behavior, i.e., when he stops nursing and falls asleep, does not cry for more milk, and refuses to latch again onto the breast, this usually indicates that he's full
-wetting the diaper and passing bowel movement a couple of hours after breast feeding
These are short-term indicators of adequate feeding. Long term indicators are mainly growth parameters (weight, length and head circumference).
