To determine whether the baby has been full to avoid overfeeding, you can judge by the baby’s sense of satisfaction after eating, dependence becomes weaker, the amount of urine is normal, and so on.
1. Satisfaction after eating: breastfed babies will voluntarily release the nipple after eating, showing a satisfied smile, babbling and vocalizing. Formula-fed babies will let go of the bottle when they are full and show a cozy relaxed state.
2. Dependence becomes weaker: after the baby is full, the degree of need for food will be greatly reduced because the physiological needs have been satisfied. Dependence on the nipple and bottle will be weakened, and the baby will switch to something he likes more.
3. Normal urine output: Without extra water feeding, the baby’s urine output is in the normal range. On average, babies urinate 6 to 8 times a day after the first week of life, and the urine is clear, transparent, pale yellow or dark yellow.
The baby’s diet is crucial, through the above way to determine to grasp the amount of food, in order to make the baby more healthy growth.
