The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Nursing support is very important for healthy baby growth and strengthening the mother-baby bond. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months is the joint recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Making sure your baby is positioned correctly, latching well, and nursing frequently (8-12 times daily) is the first step. For adequate milk production, it's also important that the mother stays well hydrated, eats a balanced diet, and gets rest. Milk supply is evaluated by the number of wet and dirty diapers (6-8 wet diapers daily) and consistent weight gain. If nursing is painful, your baby refuses the breast, or weight gain stalls, consulting a lactation consultant or pediatrician is best.
