Re: how do you know...
If LO doesn't seem hungry/is happy at the end of a feeding and having wet and poopy diaper, you are probably producing enough milk. My pediatrician also does free weight checks, so I go in to check LO's weight if I am worried she isn't getting enough to eat.
Don't worry about what to do when you stop producing milk. Wait to tackle that problem if/when you have it. LO will take a bottle if hungry enough. LO will not starve.
