How to know if the baby is getting enough milk?

One of the most common concerns in the early weeks is if a baby is growing well and breastfeeding is working. In this short video, Vicki Blackman, Registered Midwife and Breastfeeding Educator, explains how healthcare professionals can assess milk intake and ease these worries by knowing exactly what to look for.

What you will learn

This resource gives you clear, practical markers to share with parents:

  • Feeding frequency: around 8 to 12 feeds in 24 hours for a newborn
  • Why observing the baby matters more than watching the clock
  • Normal weight loss in the first days, and expected weight gain of around 20 g per day until three months
  • Growth milestones: birth weight doubled by four months and tripled by one year
  • What stools and wet diapers reveal about intake
  • Why urate crystals are normal in the colostrum phase

Watch and reassure parents with confidence

Watch the full video to strengthen your breastfeeding guidance and help parents feel reassured that their baby is thriving. It is part of the Confident breastfeeding series on Danone Nutricia Campus.
