Newborn food cravings may be related to factors such as fast digestion, love of sucking, and dependence on mom.
Newborns vary a lot, so the amount of breastfeeding also varies somewhat. In the absence of uncomfortable symptoms, a newborn’s high intake may be caused by the rapid digestion of breastmilk or formula milk, which makes the baby feel hungry from time to time, or the newborn likes to suckle, or likes to be around the mother, and has a greater reliance on the pacifier or the mother resulting in the newborn’s frequent drinking of breastmilk.
It is important to note that if your newborn is drinking too much milk, you can put your newborn on his/her side to prevent overflow and spitting up. In order to avoid bloating problems, the newborn’s feeding habits should be changed gradually, such as by reducing the frequency of feedings, e.g. by using a pacifier.
There may also be other reasons for neonatal gagging, such as neonatal hyperthyroidism. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time for a complete examination to determine the cause of the problem and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the doctor’s guidance.
