The most important indicator of whether breast milk is full is whether your baby is gaining weight normally. If the weight gain is normal, there is nothing to worry about. If the weight gain is not good, it is important to improve the feeding position, which can be summarized as “three stickers” “three positions” and holding the areola. 1, “three stickers” baby’s mouth and jaw close to the mother’s breast; baby and mother’s chest close to the chest; baby and mother’s stomach close to the stomach. 2, “three postures” mother sitting to feed; mother lying to feed (suitable for the night), but the mother can not fall asleep to avoid baby suffocation; mother holding baby to feed (suitable for cesarean mothers). How to grasp the amount of newborn milk 3, holding the areola Holding the areola, is the baby’s mouth to contain the mother’s nipple and areola, in order to best sucking. If you are still not satisfied with your baby’s weight gain after all your efforts, you can use an electric breast pump to suck out the breast milk to see how much there is. Generally the amount of milk your baby eats at this time should be about 500 ml per day, divided into 8 servings of 60 ml each. If you suck out 30 ml of breast milk each time, you should supplement with 30 ml of formula after each breastfeeding. Breast milk first, then formula, otherwise it will affect your baby’s ability to suckle breast milk. Breastfeeding during the day can increase breast milk secretion, and as breast milk increases, gradually reduce or stop formula feeding. The stool of breastfed babies should be light yellow and sticky, interspersed with some tiny particles, sometimes as thin as rice paste, several times a day. The stools of formula-fed babies are usually brown or yellow, with a thicker texture than those of breast-fed babies. Defecation patterns vary greatly from baby to baby. Some breastfed babies will have a bowel movement soon after each feeding, which is caused by the gastrocolic reflex that stimulates the digestive system to move whenever food enters the stomach, causing a bowel movement that will improve later as the digestive system matures. Urination of breastfed babies Urination is frequent for babies who urinate once every 1-3 hours, and only 4-6 times a day for those who urinate infrequently, generally more than 6 times a day is normal. A normal baby who urinates less than 6 times a day may be a sign of insufficient milk supply. In addition, a baby’s urine output can be significantly reduced when he or she is sick, has a fever, or when the temperature is very high. Urination should not be painful. If you cry when urinating, you should see your pediatrician for an examination. The urine of a healthy baby is pale yellow or dark yellow. The darker the color, the more concentrated the urine, indicating that the baby is consuming less water.
