It’s so cute to see your baby breastfeeding, but is he or she full? How to tell if your baby is full? These questions are told below! Listen: Listen to the sound of breastfeeding to determine whether the baby is full First of all, the mother to use the ears to listen carefully to the baby’s breastfeeding sound. In breastfeeding, the baby will send out a rhythmic sucking sound, and accompanied by audible swallowing sound normally, the baby in the breastfeeding on average every sucking 2 to 3 times you can hear a swallowing sound, if the continuous down after fifteen minutes should be full, this is of course for the milk is very sufficient for the baby mama. If the baby eats and eats, swallowing milk or sucking frequency obviously change, or even stop to take a break, this shows that the baby ate enough. If the baby swallowed less or do not swallow, the mother should be appropriate to increase the breastfeeding time, so that the baby sucking empty breast, with a reasonable diet to increase the amount of milk, remember not always back and forth to change the side of the baby. It is recommended to drink a glass of warm water before breastfeeding. Look: Breast condition If the mother’s breasts are full, a press is easy to squeeze out the milk, it means that the mother’s milk is very sufficient, the baby must not be a problem to eat. But the problem is that many mothers think that the breasts are not swollen is no milk or less milk, this view is also wrong, in this case the baby sucking to struggle a little bit, but it is not all bad, but also a kind of exercise for the baby, slowly, the mother and the baby will form a tacit understanding, to believe that they are able to feed the baby! The production of milk is related to the secretion of lactogen in the body. Part of the milk is accumulated when the baby is resting, and part of it is generated during the baby’s sucking process, so don’t easily suspect that you don’t have enough milk. Here is a reminder, after the baby is born 24 hours, it is best to breastfeed every 2~3 hours. Otherwise, the mother’s breasts do not get enough stimulation, which will affect the production of milk. Look: baby sleep time If it is very hard to eat milk, sucking soon fell asleep, sleep less than 1~2 hours and wake up crying, or sometimes fierce sucking, this is the baby is not enough to eat the performance. Look: baby stool shape and number of times Fully breastfed babies urinate eight or nine times a day, stool four or five times a day, there are babies once a few days, if it is a habit that is not a special concern, the normal color is golden yellow, slightly thick. If the stool is green for a long time, the fecal matter is relatively small, and contains a lot of mucus, it is possible that the baby did not eat enough. Look: baby weight change It is more reliable to use the baby’s weight gain and daily behavior to determine whether the baby is full. If the baby is awake with a good spirit and happy mood, and the weight increases day by day, it means that the baby is full; if the baby’s weight grows slowly for a long time, and exclude the possibility of suffering from a certain disease, then it means that the baby is usually considered to have eaten enough when he did not eat enough. In general, babies within one month, the average monthly weight gain of one thousand to fifteen hundred grams, six months of healthy babies within six months of the weight gain of about six hundred grams per month. Parents are advised to weigh their babies every two months. A chronic lack of weight gain indicates that the baby is not getting enough nutrients, but there may also be other health problems. 9 Signs of Not Having Enough to Eat Simply summarized, babies who don’t have enough to eat will show these signals: 1. 3 days after birth, urinating less than 6 times every 24 hours. 2. 2, 3 days after birth, still black, green or brown stools. 3, 4 days to 4 weeks after birth, less than 3 to 4 bowel movements per day. 4, Breastfeeding less than 8 times in 24 hours.
