This information is for mothers and nursing parents with babies born at full term or close to full term and addresses the normal course of breastfeeding/chestfeeding.

How much milk does a baby get from 10 minutes of breastfeeding

The guidelines offered here may not be appropriate for a baby born prematurely or who is in NICU, or for parents with other unusual circumstances, such as circumstances faced by adoptive parents. If you and your baby have unusual circumstances, we encourage you to talk with your health care team candidly about the importance feeding your baby your own milk holds for you and engage their support in finding ways to succeed in achieving your goals.

Please also see our information on nursing a premature baby, adoptive nursing, or information that fits your circumstances more closely than this one. Finally, please contact a Leader near you to ask any other questions you may have; Leaders are always happy to share the information they have and find more information when needed to help every person achieve success in nursing their baby to the fullest extent possible.
