Breast Milk Intake Calculator

6+ wet diapers, 2–5 dirty diapers/day (day 2+). Weight check: back to birth weight by day 10–14, gain 15–30 g/day month 1–3. Healthcare provider monitors.

Frequent feeding (8–12x/day month 1) stimulates supply. Dehydration, stress, poor latch reduce it. Medications (some), retained placenta increase risk of low supply.

No. Pumps less efficient than baby at extracting milk. Baby + pump output > pump alone. Use baby's feeding patterns (wet diapers, weight) to assess adequacy.
