The frequency of breast emptying (breastfeeding or pumping) tells your body to make more milk.
Unfortunately, feeding more during the day can't make up for not feeding overnight, and most will see a supply drop when sleep training or stopping overnight feeds/pumping sessions.
The good news is that if you have experienced a drop in milk supply, you can likely bump your supply back up by resuming overnight breast emptying!
There is a lot of individual variability in milk supply and how sensitive your supply is to regular breast emptying. Reach out to an IBCLC if you have questions about schedules and your milk supply.

During the first week of life baby's stool should make a gradual transition from black/dark green sticky meconium to yellow and seedy if baby is getting enough food for adequate growth.
If you are ever concerned that your baby isn't stooling enough or that they don't look "right", please reach out to your doctor or lactation consultant. Appropriate stooling is a much better indicator that your baby is getting enough food than wet diapers alone.

Here's a short breakdown of some of the differences you can expect when taking a general breastfeeding class vs an individual prenatal consultation.
They both have their place and I highly recommend seeking out the resources available in your area for breastfeeding education and planning prenatally.
Inspired by the great conversation on this week's podcast about prenatal visits.

If you can see the corner of your baby's mouth while you're feeding, make a micro-adjustment by bringing him closer. You are looking for the chin planted, both cheeks equally touching the breast, and nose barely touching.
Having your baby rolled towards you and centered on the breast allows him to get a deeper latch and feel positionally stable.
It can be really tempting to roll baby away from you to check the latch, but that actually causes the baby to become more shallow. Trust that if he is close enough and it feels right, you don't need to get in there and check his mouth!
