Signs of low breast milk supply?
⚡ Short answer: You can tell if breast milk is truly insufficient from objective signs like your baby's slow weight gain or wetting fewer than 6 diapers a day (don't rely on your feeling that "my milk is low" — demand creates supply); in this case, consulting your pediatrician is important.

You can notice that your milk supply is decreasing with these signs: Your baby's weight gain slows down or stops, the number of wet diapers drops to fewer than 6 per day (urine may become darker), your baby gets tired quickly while nursing or becomes restless at the breast, you don't feel fullness in yourself. If your baby is younger than 6 months and you notice these signs, it's important to consult a lactation consultant or pediatrician; just your feeling that "my milk has decreased" is often misleading because milk production balances with demand.
