Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Of course it remains very difficult to figure out the exact volume of milk a child receives during breast feeding, unless you choose to pump your breast milk and feed it to your baby in the bottle. However, we like to rely on other indicators that the baby is well fed: he seems satisfied (not crying for more milk), well hydrated (healthy skin, wetting 8 diapers per day on average, passing stools after each episode of breast feeding), active, and gaining adequate weight and height on the growth curve.
