How do you know baby is getting enough milk?
When feeding a newborn, it's common to worry about intake. However, it's important to remember that feeding at the breast is the biological norm. Measuring and monitoring is new in the grand scheme of human history.
That's why we have other signs to look for. Measuring and monitoring exact intake has its place, (NICU, heart conditions, etc.). But for the average mother baby, you simply look at diaper output and growth over days or weeks.
If you have concerns about baby's intake, reach out to a lactation professional.
