The most reliable signs of good breastfeeding are:
In baby:
- At least 6-8 wet diapers per day (pale-colored urine)
- At least 3-4 poops per day in the first weeks (frequency may decrease later)
- Audible swallowing during feeding (you see jawline moving)
- Baby looks relaxed and satisfied after feeding
- Healthy weight gain (150-200 grams per week in early months)
In mother:
- Fullness in breasts before feeding, softness after
- No pain when baby latches correctly (mild tenderness in the first days is normal)
- Letdown reflex (tingling or leaking sensation)
Signs of correct latch:
- Baby's mouth wide open, lower lip turned outward
- Chin touching breast, nose free
- Most of the areola (dark part) in baby's mouth
- You're in a comfortable position, baby at breast level, face turned toward breast
If most of these signs are there, you're on track. If there's pain, too few wet diapers, or slow weight gain, talking to a lactation consultant or pediatrician is a good idea.
