A young life croaked into the ground, you rise father / mother, newborn baby to bring happiness and joy to the whole family at the same time, but also really let a lot of new parents feel like a big enemy, at a loss, because this magical and delicate little life has too many “big problems”, take “eat! “The problem, breast milk is the mother to give the baby’s most precious gift, is the baby’s best natural food, recommended that the baby six months of exclusive breastfeeding, more and more mothers to understand the benefits of breastfeeding, adhere to breastfeeding. But within a few months of the baby, especially newborns, will not say will not speak, eat more for fear of propping up, eat less for fear of starvation, breastfeeding do not know exactly how much to eat into a small amount, how do you know whether the baby is “full of food and drink” it? 1, observe the mother’s breasts If the mother’s breasts before breastfeeding, there is a significant feeling of swelling, squeeze the hand when the milk overflow, breastfeeding feeling, breastfeeding after the breasts become soft, indicating that the mother’s milk is more, the baby sucking strong. If the mother’s breasts are not distended, the breasts are dry, the milk is scarce, or no milk overflow when squeezed, it means that the breast milk is insufficient. 2, observe the baby’s reaction to the mother’s milk in addition to the breasts have a clear sense of distension, you can hear the baby “gurgling gurgling” sound of swallowing milk, the baby will automatically let go of the nipple to not eat, there is a sense of satisfaction, the two meals between the breastfeeding will be fragrant sleep for two or three hours. If the baby swallowed less milk, still crying after eating, eating a while and then want to eat, or holding the nipple not to let go, often indicates that the baby did not eat enough. Although the baby will not speak, but also hungry to mom and dad “help”, this is their innate ability. The baby will have a “foraging” reaction, open the mouth around looking for or sucking near the mouth of the corner of the quilt, corner of the coat, fingers, etc., the baby will fall asleep from deep sleep to light sleep, and sometimes will open their eyes, sometimes you can see the eyelids trembling, or sleep will have sucking and chewing action, like in a dream to eat, the mother found that the above-mentioned The mother found the above “distress” signals should try to feed the baby, if just after breastfeeding soon after the above signals indicate that the last meal is not full Oh. 3, observation of urine and feces baby’s urine and feces can indirectly reflect the baby to eat enough milk, and is a more objective indicator. Mothers and fathers should pay attention to observe when changing diapers Oh, in fact, changing diapers is also a technical job. Breastfeeding babies usually have 3 to 6 bowel movements per day, and babies on formula milk have slightly less frequent bowel movements, mostly around 2 or 3 times per day, in a burnt shape. If the baby is not full, the number of stools will decrease. Babies born a few days before the amount of urine varies, three days later, usually more than 6 times a day, urine is light yellow or colorless. Exclusive breastfeeding baby, more than 6 times a day urine, that eating the amount of milk is enough, here to remind parents again, 6 months within the baby exclusively breastfeeding, the so-called “pure breast milk” is not to feed the water, exclusively breastfeeding babies if the urine is less than to drink more water but to feed the milk more yo. 4, observe the weight growth Weight growth is a reliable basis for measuring the adequacy of diet. In order to reduce the error of weight measurement, you can choose a uniform time weighing, such as each time after defecation, before feeding, wearing the same amount of clothing weighing. The average full-term newborn weighs about 720-750 grams in the first month and gains about 600 grams in the second month. babies up to 6 months of age gain an average of about 600 grams per month. If the baby’s weight gain is good and chubby, it means that there is enough milk; if the weight gain is less than 500 grams per month, it means that the baby is starved or there are other disease factors. It is important to note here is that the newborn baby has a special performance called “physiological weight loss”, refers to the baby’s first few days of life to eat less, the body’s water loss is more, so a few days after the birth of a temporary weight loss, so a few days after the birth of the baby’s weight loss parents do not have to worry about. The magnitude of this physiological weight loss does not exceed 10% of the birth weight, generally 7-10 days after birth to return to birth weight. For example, a baby born at 6 pounds may drop to 5.4 pounds at 3-5 days after birth, but a much lower weight loss or less than 6 pounds at 10 days would require seeking medical help.
