As soon as the child cries, the mother immediately feeds and comforts her, and over time she develops the habit of "feeding when she cries".
When the child treats ** as a snack, he stops after a few bites, and it doesn't take long for him to start crying again, and he can't tell whether the baby is hungry or not? As a result, many mothers have the following practices:
1. If the child does not cry, he will not breastfeed, and he will wait until he cries before feeding.
2. Worry that the baby will sleep for a long time and be hungry, wake up the child to feed.
3. Always feel that the child is hungry, which eventually leads to overfeeding.
So, what is the baby's hunger state? How can you tell if your baby is hungry? What signals can be seen? Help mothers grasp the degree of "feeding on demand".
1. 10 signs of your baby's hunger.
1. Before feeding.
It can do sucking action naturally, open and close the small mouth, and gently lick the lips and stick out the tongue.
Able to turn the head to find food, put small hands in the mouth, and even collars, cuffs, quilt corners, etc.
can stretch and stretch, twist left and right, dance with hands, and have a lot of body movements.
There will be paroxysmal crying, loud noises, and if you don't feed, the crying will get louder and louder.
Redness of the face, irritability, reddening.
When you are held, your little hands will restlessly move closer to your chest and abdomen.
Touch the corners of the baby's mouth with your fingers, pacifiers, etc., and the baby will quickly turn and suck on something.
2. In breastfeeding.
When you bring the nipple to your mouth, your baby will be eager to suckle.
* , the baby will suck eagerly and forcefully, and make a purring sound.
Engrossed in **, not affected by the surrounding movement in the slightest.
If the baby is easy to eat and fall asleep, the mother can take advantage of the baby's in**, gently move the nipple, gently pinch the baby's ears, or touch the cheeks, or flick the soles of the feet. It is best to let the baby eat enough every time, empty one breast before sleeping, and develop good feeding habits.
The above 9 signals can tell if the baby is hungry? In addition, we all know that if the child is not full, it is easy to get hungry, and if it is not full for a long time, it will also affect the child's growth and development. So, how do you know if your baby is full?
2. 7 signs that the baby is not full.
3. After feeding.
I feed a lot of times, but the baby always cries non-stop.
Stools are infrequent, small each time, and loose or green.
Urinate less often, using only 1-2 diapers per day.
The baby's weight gain is slow, and other causes such as diseases have been ruled out.
Babies wake up frequently during the night, and they cannot be comforted by gentle soothing, and they need to be fed to sleep.
The breast on the mother's side is empty.
If you find that the baby is not full, the mother should pay attention to increase the number of feedings and extend the feeding time in the following days, so that the child eats a little more than usual and for a little longer.
If the baby has eaten for a long time but is not full and still crying, the mother should judge whether the feeding posture is correct according to the feeding posture, whether it is necessary to supplement more nutrition and chase milk, or mix feeding with milk powder.
To sum up, by observing the three stages of the baby before, during and after feeding, it is possible to judge whether the baby is hungry and whether he is full? In this way, even if many mothers do not have the right head when breastfeeding their children, they can adjust in time to ensure the healthy development of their children.
Third, grasp the degree.
"Feeding according to crying" is a palliative but not a cure, which not only wastes the mother's time and energy, but also is not conducive to the healthy development of the baby. If you don't want to turn "breastfeeding on demand" into "cry feeding", you only need to follow three steps: "one for two, three for care".
1. One change. When a baby wakes up from sleep, it is always accompanied by a cry.
When the baby cries, the first thing to check is whether the diaper is to be changed.
For baby girls, diaper replacement should follow the principle of "urine scrubbing, stool cleaning".
Diapers without stool, after changing, wipe clean with a damp cotton towel and dry it
If the baby has a bowel movement, it is best to rinse it with warm water and dry it before drying, and then dry it with a hip balm.
2. Second feeding. After changing the diaper, sometimes the child's crying stops.
If the baby's mental state is still good, you can talk and sing with the baby, and then feed when the time comes.
After changing the diaper, the child is still crying, we first feed the child, and then see if there is any stool. If there is no poop and the baby is asleep, that's the end of it, and the baby's needs have been met.
If there is stool, it is recommended to change the diaper again, regardless of whether the baby is asleep or not.
3. Three nursing.
Check whether the diapers should be changed first, and then feed the baby after changing. If the baby refuses to **, or suddenly cries when **, and can't concentrate**, the mother should be vigilant.
Carefully inspect your baby's exposed skin for mosquito bites.
There are no clothing threads or hair tangles on the fingers.
Whether the body temperature is normal.
Whether you have a cough or runny nose.
Whether there is any leakage or choking.
The specific situation requires symptomatic care, and you can also go to the hospital for treatment.
Babies who are exclusively breastfed before 6 months have a small chance of getting sick due to the antibodies from the mother and breast milk, and can basically do "one for two feeding";
The first time of the baby between 3-6 months is gradually fixed, but night milk is essential, and at the same time, it is also a stage of frequent diseases in young children, which needs more attention;
6-12 months of babies began to add complementary food, three meals of milk plus two complementary food, meal time is the same as adults, slowly quit night milk, it is best to quit before the age of one. At this time, children need to be more carefully cared for due to the greatly increased mobility and expanded range of activities.
