I don't remember what DS weighed when he was 1 month but I agree if he's producing diapers and satisfied after feeding everything is likely working well! It took some time before I was confident that DS was getting enough nursing but he always has.

My LO was 8 lb 6 oz and 10 lb 4 oz at 1 month. She was breastfed and ate every 1-3 hours. It really varied. Are you worried?

If you're concerned your LO isn't getting enough while breastfeeding, you could pump a few times a day and offer that by syringe, spoon, or bottle. Dr. Browns with a preemie nipple is best for breastfeeding babies because the flow is slower and it'll hopefully avoid a bottle preference. You could also try to get baby to nurse every 2 hours during the day.

@MrsRcCar: I asked my doctor about how I'd know if she was getting enough and she said the baby would let me know. Ie, be super grumpy. Are there any places where you can weigh the baby? I'm in Canada and our public health offices have scales that we can use. Also, the pediatrician's office will let me use the scale. But hopefully, you'll see that LO has gained tons of weight and it'll put your mind at ease.
