This is a simple way of knowing if a baby is having enough milk :

What goes in, must come out.

If the baby is having six or more wet nappies in 24 hours, she is getting enough.

Breastfeeding mums often worry about this, and when the baby asks for feeds more often, they worry that they do not have enough milk. That isn't so. Every couple of weeks, a baby will go through a growth spurt. Breast milk is a supply and demand thing. The way the baby increases milk supply as he needs more is by asking for more time on the breast. After a day or two, mum's milk supply naturally adjusts to producing more and things will get back to normal - until the next growth spurt.

Most new mums worry about feeding so its a good idea for them to join a supportive mother and baby group to chat, have coffee and to make friends and to discuss worries with others who are feeling the same way.

I assume they are eating plenty of normal table food... this will help the transition Good luck :-) and check out: http://www.breastfeeding-bff.com/weaning.html for more info.


How do you know that your rabbit is feeding her babies?

welll, you would kind of see that the baby rabbits are healthy and not going after the mothers food all the time, if the mother of the babies isn't feeding them, you should take her to the vet to check if there is anything wrong with the mother. If not, she must feel left out or something or not want her babies. Might be a idea to feed the babies your self for a week or so to see how they do with out each other. Who knows ?! Try it out !
