Day 3 Tips: Your baby may still cluster feed today. Continue to put baby skin-to-skin as much as possible before and after feedings. 1. Signs Baby is Getting Enough to Eat: – Baby is having at least 3 wet diapers in a 24-hour period. – Baby is having 3 dirty diapers in a 24-hour period. – Baby relaxes after feeding and may fall asleep or come off the breast. 2. Continue to keep baby in the room with you and do skin-to-skin contact as much as possible before and after feedings. 3. Baby may still continue to lose weight. Babies may lose up to 10% of their birth weight during the first week after birth. This is normal.
