How can I tell if my baby is eating enough?

To evaluate the situation, ask yourself three questions:
1.
Do you see and hear your baby swallowing when eating?
2.
Is there evidence in the diaper (multiple pees and poops)?
3.
Is the baby gaining weight at regular pediatrician visits?

How long should my baby be eating during each feeding?

Babies vary on how long they take to nurse. 

Your job is to provide the milk or formula, the baby decides how long to nurse. However, if your baby wants to nurse every hour for days on end or is nursing for over 45 minutes each session, you should talk to your doctor.
