Many new mothers are troubled by the fact that they do not know how much milk they should feed their babies. Especially at night, your little one has to eat almost once in half an hour, fall asleep after eating for a while, and then want to eat again not long after, not knowing whether there is not enough milk or something wrong with your baby. So, how can you tell if your baby is full or not? 1, look at the breasts and baby milk eating situation If the breasts are full, the surface veins are exposed, when pressed by hand, the milk will flow out, when eating breast milk, the baby will make a rhythmic sucking sound, accompanied by an audible swallowing sound, it means that the amount of milk is sufficient; on the contrary, if the breasts are deflated and soft, no milk can be squeezed, the baby has to spend a lot of effort when sucking milk, or after eating, still contains the nipple and does not let go, sometimes sucking a while will put the nipple If the baby spits up and cries, it means that the milk is not enough. 2. Look at the baby’s sleeping condition A normal baby will have a sense of satisfaction after sucking milk and can sleep quietly until the next feeding, which is a sign of full milk. If your baby is still crying and restless after breastfeeding, or wakes up crying again after less than 1 to 2 hours of sleep, it means that he or she is not full and should increase the amount of milk appropriately. 3. Look at the baby’s expression If the baby smiles at you after feeding, or does not cry, or sleeps quietly immediately, it means that the baby is full. If your baby still cries after feeding, or bites the nipple, or wakes up after less than two hours of sleep, it means that the amount of milk is not enough and your baby is not full. 4, look at the number of times the baby urinates and defecates Generally, newborns urinate 8 to 9 times a day, stool 4 to 5 times, golden yellow thick stool; newborns fed milk powder are pale yellow thick stool, stool 3 to 4 times, without water. All these can indicate that the amount of milk is enough. If not enough, the amount of urine is not much, the stool is less, green thin stool. 5, look at the baby’s weight gain Generally speaking, full-term newborns can gain 25 grams of weight per day in the first month, and 720 to 750 grams in the first month. If the weight is not increased or not enough growth, either there is disease or improper feeding. Insufficient feeding or too thin milk leading to insufficient nutrition is one of the factors of weight loss. 6. Check the diapers It is a good way to determine if your baby is drinking enough milk through diapers. In the first month of life, if your baby has enough milk, he or she will urinate at least 6 times a day, and have 3-4 bowel movements. Light or colorless urine indicates that the baby’s body is well hydrated, when the urine is as dark yellow as apple juice, then the intake of water is definitely not enough. Hurry up the little mouth to pucker up and milk to drink. When moms see that the diaper is going to be changed again, they should feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, which means that the baby is drinking enough milk. 7. Pay attention to the baby’s reaction When the baby drinks milk, the whole person should be calm and relaxed. Mothers can feel the strong sucking and hear the frequent, rhythmic swallowing sounds. However, it cannot be excluded that some babies are naturally more gentle and swallow less audibly. Babies who have had enough milk will leave their mother’s nipple on their own, with their little mouths looking wet. Just like we must be in a good mood after eating a big meal, babies will also feel happy when they drink enough milk. But if he didn’t drink enough, you will probably be greeted with a lot of crying and fussing. If your baby doesn’t drink enough milk, they may be irritable, depressed, and their mouth and eyes may look a little dry; 2. If the weight gain is slow or even continues to decrease, then you must pay attention to it and take your baby to the hospital for a checkup. Finally, to summarize: to determine whether your baby is full or not, we can observe your baby’s reaction to breastfeeding and observe whether your baby’s weight is in line with the normal growth standard. If your baby can sleep quietly after feeding, it proves that your baby has had enough. If your baby refuses to let go of the nipple and cries a lot, it is a sign that he or she is not full. If the baby’s weight is in line with the normal standard, it means that the baby is full. If the baby is below the normal standard, parents should pay attention to giving the baby some nutrition.
