How much breast milk is considered a normal value?

Patient's question:

In recent days, the baby has been crying non-stop. I don't know if it's because of insufficient milk supply. How much breast milk is considered a normal amount?

Doctor's answer:

Milk production varies from individual to individual and is based on the baby's needs. Generally, the more the baby eats, the higher the milk production. If the baby cries without reason or sleeps restlessly, it is often because they are not well-fed. You can encourage the baby to suck the nipple more to stimulate milk secretion. The mother should also drink more soup and eat nutritious foods to increase milk production. If it is not possible to meet the baby's needs in a short period, mixed feeding can be used.
