I wasn't able to produce enough milk for my son. They had me start him on a bottle in the hospital 12 hours after he was born because they said I didn't have enough for him. Mind you I still both breast and bottle for the month because I really wanted to breast feed but I just never was able to produce enough for him.

Babys stomach is only about the size of a walnut at birth and only requires VERY little the first day. Same the second and third days. By one month I think its only the size of a small orange. Remember your stomach is about the size of your fist. Same principal applies to your baby. Your milk is PLENTY to sustain baby as its stomach grows and your supply increases from colostrum to full on breast milk.

Enough wet and poopy diapers and if the baby is thriving. Breastfeeding is a supply and demand thing so just let baby eat and you will produce enough. Make sure you drink water and stay hydrated.
