Second, the solution ✦

1 the mother's milk is insufficient, when feeding the baby, you should gently squeeze the breast with your hands to help the milk secretion, and the baby will not have much effort to suck. Both breasts take turns breastfeeding for 15 to 20 minutes each time. Breast milk can also be fed first and then replaced with a dairy substitute (e.g., formula).

2 Regardless of breastfeeding or artificial feeding, the baby can sleep peacefully for 2 to 3 hours after feeding, indicating that breastfeeding is normal. If the breast milk is insufficient, the baby eats and sleeps, and the mother can gently pinch the baby's earlobe or flick his foot to wake up and feed.

Third, the baby does not like to drink milk? ✦

Some babies eat less, as if they are never hungry, they are not close to milk, they eat carelessly for a while when they give milk, they do not give milk to eat, they do not cry, and they have no desire to eat milk.

For such babies, the mother can shorten the feeding time and increase the frequency of feeding. Once the baby spits out the nipple and turns the head over, don't give the baby to eat again, and then give the baby two or three hours to eat, so that the total amount of milk ingested every day is not much, enough to provide the baby's daily nutritional needs.
