Patient's question:
I am a first-time mother, why are my breasts always soft, but when the baby feeds, I always worry that my milk isn't enough? I heard that other people's milk has a feeling of fullness, but I don't have it. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
If the parent says the child doesn't cry after eating milk and is breastfed daily, the amount of milk is likely sufficient. The child eats and sleeps normally, which indicates that your milk supply is adequate. Generally, if the child cries frequently and then starts crying again shortly after breastfeeding, it suggests the child is not getting enough milk. Additionally, if there is no milk after not breastfeeding for three or four hours and the breasts feel full, but milk doesn't flow on its own, it proves the milk supply is insufficient. It is recommended to provide the child with some formula feeding, which may help.The above advice is for the question "Why are my breasts always soft but the baby keeps nursing?" I hope it assists you. Wishing you good health!
