How will I know if my baby is getting enough milk?
If your baby is suckling well, feeding 8-12 times per 24 hours, emptying each breast, seems happy, healthy and content, is active and alert when awake and is content after a feed, he is almost certainly getting enough milk. Another good sign is around 8 wet nappies every 24 hours. If you're worried, ask your midwife or health visitor to make sure all is well. You can also take him to the local clinic to be weighed.
Is it worth breastfeeding if I'm going back to work soon?
The more you can be with your baby for the first 4 months, the better for both of you, as the early weeks at home are when your milk does most good. Even when you return to work, you can continue to breastfeed your baby morning, evening and at weekends and in between he can have bottles of your expressed milk.
