Do you constantly wonder if your baby is actually getting enough… or are you just overthinking every feed, diaper, and bite?
If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing how much your baby is eating or stressing over whether they’re getting enough milk, you’re not alone. With so many moving pieces in the first year, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing something or doing it wrong.
In this episode, Kathy breaks down the three most important signs that your baby is getting enough nutrition and how to interpret them with confidence. She explains why growth charts are only one piece of the puzzle, what actually matters when it comes to milk intake, and how giving your baby autonomy at the table plays a bigger role than most parents realize.
She also shares what to do if something feels off, why volume isn’t the full story, and how to step out of the comparison trap so you can focus on what your baby truly needs.
