A well fed baby will be content during and after a feed and have wet and dirty nappies.

Not Sure

If you have any feeding concerns, visit a breastfeeding support group or call your postnatal coordinator who will contact your midwifery or health visiting* team. If your baby is vomiting up a lot of milk, you should also inform your midwife or health visitor*.
Unhappy

* The midwifery team will transfer care to the health visiting team within the first month of your baby being born.
