It’s normal to worry in the beginning since you can’t see how much milk your baby receives. Look for signs such as alertness, wet diapers, and weight gain. A content baby who wakes to feed, drinks actively, and settles after feeding is usually a good sign. Colostrum comes in small amounts — exactly what your baby needs in the first days.

🌿 Alma’s tips 

• 6–8 wet diapers per day after the first few days is reassuring.

• Listen for swallowing — it signals milk transfer.

• If you’re unsure, reach out to your midwife or lactation support.
