How long does it take to have milk again after eating it out?

Patient's question:

How do you know if your milk is enough? How long does it take for your milk to refill after your baby has finished eating? How much should a baby generally eat?

Doctor's answer:

The baby needs it, and the time he eats milk for several hours is when it was engorged several hours ago. The mother needs to eat well and have meals rich in fat. Actually, if the breast is softened and the baby still suckles, there will still be milk. The milk is produced on demand to meet the supply, and it will be ready in two or three hours. The milk is actually not finished, but the more it is eaten, the more there is. The mother and baby are like having a natural sense of connection, where the greater the baby's demand, the greater the mother's supply. The premise is that the mother cannot be hungry.
