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 this normal?Doctor's answer:
If the parent says that the child doesn't cry after eating milk and is breastfed daily, the amount of milk is likely sufficient. The child is eating and sleeping 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 that the child is not being well-fed. Additionally, if there is a sensation of fullness in the breasts after not breastfeeding for three or four hours, and milk doesn't flow on its own, it indicates an insufficient milk supply. It is recommended to provide the child with supplementary formula feeding, which may assist you.The above advice is for the question "Why are my breasts always soft but the baby keeps nursing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
