Lovemere asks A Lactation Consultant

Question 1: How do I know if my baby is getting enough milk?

Breastfeeding: Most mums are figuring it out in real time, exhausted, emotional, and wishing someone just gave them a straight answer.

Question 2: Why does breastfeeding hurt and when should I worry?

Question 3: Why my milk hasn't come in yet? Is something wrong?

Question 4: I'm going back to work, when can I start pumping?

Question 5: Why am I getting so little milk when I pump?
