Many parents have noticed that babies are always “gobbling” every time they just eat milk, which is usually because the baby is hungry, slowly the baby eat a few mouthfuls to stop for a while, or play a while to eat again, the baby is almost full, also tired of eating. This state of small babies, in fact, and adults hungry when eating the same, adults are also very hungry when eating very fast, eat a lot of mouth, almost full of eating speed will also slow down, eat the corresponding less. This is a very natural human physiological reflex. Putting aside these natural reflexes, the baby always eats milk intermittently, parents also want to synthesize the following five situations, please take the right seat. 1, incorrect feeding position The baby is struggling to eat milk, may be related to the mother’s feeding position, small baby sucking ability is weak, when the baby contains the nipple incomplete, sucking effort, the baby can not eat milk, which leads to a long time to eat milk, watching the baby eating milk is also very tired, the baby had to compensate for energy by resting, there is a situation of eating and stopping. Countermeasures: Change the correct position First check if you are holding your baby too tightly and your baby can’t stand it before moving around and refusing to eat milk properly. If you are artificially feeding, you should let the milk fill the teat to reduce the air entering the baby’s stomach and reduce the choking and hiccups to ensure the smoothness of the baby’s milk intake. If it is breastfeeding parents can correct the feeding posture as shown in the picture. 2, insufficient milk The criteria for determining whether milk is sufficient: (1) baby can urinate 6 pieces of diapers every day (2) baby eating, defecation (normal golden yellow burnt or paste-like stool), good mental state, specifically the baby can eat and play, good mood. (3) The baby’s weight, height and head circumference have a normal range of growth. As long as the baby’s growth is within the normal range, there is no need to worry too much. (See the growth curve chart for 0-3 year old babies for details.) Countermeasures: More sucking, more tonic Mothers who do not have enough milk should insist that their babies suck on your breasts to stimulate the mammary gland endings and promote milk secretion. Mothers can feed on both sides in rotation, for about 15 minutes on each side. In addition, the mother can take some milk-boosting soups to keep the balance of various nutrients in her body to promote milk secretion. If it is not possible, the mother will have to add some formula to the baby. 3. Noisy feeding environment The surrounding environment is too chaotic and noisy, which will distract the baby’s attention when breastfeeding and cause the baby to be inattentive when breastfeeding. If you are always sitting in front of the TV feeding, or breastfeeding always like to chatter with family and friends, the baby’s attention is focused on your body when eating milk, which is also an important reason for eating and stopping. In other words, breastfeeding in a noisy environment makes it easy to stop eating. The solution: change to a quiet environment Turn off the TV, turn off the phone and sit in a quiet environment while you watch your baby satisfactorily sucking on your nipple, you can also smile at him or caress him affectionately. This will not only speed up the baby’s milk consumption, but also effectively enhance the emotional communication between mother and child and strengthen their feelings. 4. Poor inhalation and swallowing When your baby has phlegm in the oropharynx or secretions in the nasal cavity, you may choke and struggle to eat milk. Countermeasure: Clear the obstacle in time If your baby’s mouth and nose are not smooth, you should help your baby clean up nasal secretions in time. If there is phlegm that can’t be discharged, then you should hurry to ask for the doctor’s help and follow the medical prescription for medical intervention. 5, artificial feeding may be the pacifier hole is too small to carry out artificial feeding of the baby, if the mother does not pay attention to the choice of pacifier, may appear pacifier hole is too small, poor sucking situation, which is also an important reason for eating stop. Specifically, if the pacifier hole is too small, the baby does not suck well and is easily fatigued, which makes the baby have to compensate for the energy by resting, thus leading to the situation of eating and stopping to eat milk. Countermeasure: Change a suitable pacifier Mom just needs to go to the supermarket and buy a pacifier that really suits the baby. When breastfeeding, the mother should try to invert the milk so that the milk fills the neck of the bottle and the pacifier, so that the baby can easily get the milk, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of sucking the milk and help the baby drink enough milk at once.
