Unless you have constipation or dark urine, you are fine. But I've noticed that if I pump after I breastfeed, i make more milk the next time. I know that you produce more milk the more you express. I will feed my baby every 2-3 hrs and if he is asleep when its time, then I will pump and give him that milk if he gets hungry before I am able to nurse. I pump every 3 so it works itself out during the course of the day. and its a good way to get my husband involved! You could be drinking too much water, but it sounds like you are getting enough.

I feed him on one breast at a time. I have been "drinking to thirst" but am by far exceeding the 80 ounces of water per day (I'm drinking closer to 90 ounces). Could this be the reason to my problems? Thanks. Hi I am worried that I am not producing sufficient milk. my son is 5 week old and feeds every 1.5 hours yet doesn’t seem satisfied.
