How can I know if my milk is enough after giving birth for twenty days?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I know if my milk supply is sufficient after giving birth for twenty days?

Doctor's answer:

Breastfeeding makes you hungry after two or more hours, which is normal. Eat a bit, then sleep, then eat again. It's just that the baby hasn't woken up yet. Babies are all like this. If the baby wants to eat again within 30 minutes after the mother finishes feeding, the baby hasn't had enough. The mother can let the baby eat more, then let the baby sleep. When the baby wakes up, they can be held to help them fall back asleep. The baby can be fed again only after they have fully woken up.
