Baby overfeeding signals, how to avoid overfeeding?

Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-02-01

Six signs of overfeeding.

1.Frequent bloating in the stomach.

Frequent flatulence, bloating, crying, burping, and exhaust exercises that have not been relieved.

2.I can't sleep well at night.

Overfeeding is easy to accumulate food, and the stomach is uncomfortable, resulting in unsteady sleep, which is manifested as kneeling and sleeping, sleeping on the stomach, turning over frequently, and waking up and crying at night.

3.Easy to spit up milk.

Frequent spitting up of milk, sour milk and tofu residue spitting out.

4.The smell is abnormal.

Constipation or diarrhea, the stool that comes out is not soft yellow, but green and foamy, with a sour and rancid taste.

5.Weight loss instead of weight gain.

Overfeeding is a burden on the stomach and intestines, and food is not converted into nutrients and absorbed into the body, resulting in weight loss.

6.Anorexia and anorexia.

The food has not been digested and there is no room in the stomach yet. Therefore, there will be a phenomenon of refusal to **.

Five dangers of overfeeding

1.Fatigue easily.

The body needs to use energy to digest food, and an overload of digestion tasks can lead to exhaustion.

2.The burden on the stomach and intestines is large, and the spleen and stomach are weak.

The body is a strict system, the baby's stomach and intestines are still developing, the digestive ability is limited, and excessive food burden will hurt the spleen and stomach.

3.Sick easily.

Oversaturation leads to acid reflux, throat infections, etc. (acute pharyngitis of sesame seeds is often caused by this).

4.Decreased physical fitness.

Food accumulation leads to poor absorption of food nutrients and poor sleep quality, resulting in a decline in physical fitness.

5.Weight does not gain but decreases.

It has been explained earlier that nutrition cannot be digested, anorexia, etc., can lead to weight loss in the baby, etc.

1.Look at the duration.

*The time is generally 10 15min on one side, and the breast milk on both sides is fed.

2.Look at the status.

Eating is generally self-releasing when full**.

Babies who appear satisfied for a few hours after feeding are more sleepy and often sleep for more than 4 hours at a time in the first few weeks of life are alert to underfeeding.

3.Look at the weight.

The baby's weight gains 14 28 grams per day in the first 3 months, and the weight gain in the first 6 months is about 14 grams per day, and the baby's weight gain slows down after 6 months, and weight loss in the first week is normal (generally 7% is not right). A drop of more than 10% is a cause for concern.

4.Look at the poop.

In the first month, there will be 3 or 4 bowel movements a day (often a little after **). The frequency of stools will then decrease, possibly once a day, as long as the stool texture is soft and sour, there is no need to worry, and it is normal to have slightly black, tarry stools for the first two days.

5.Look at the amount of urine.

Pee at least 6 times a day for the first month, and the urine is colorless or yellowish!! If urine output is insufficient or the urine is too dark (except for the first few days of life), there is a need to be wary of underfeeding.

It's normal for urine to be red or pink for the first few days.
