Breastfeeding is not a simple thing, and feeding formula is much harder than feeding, take the baby to eat night milk, if you feed formula, anyone in the family can get up at night, and breastfeeding, you can only do the work for your mother, others can not participate.
There are also breastfeeding mothers most likely to encounter this situation, that is, the baby frequently wakes up at night, and the baby who eats formula milk can sleep for a long time, many mothers are confused about this, do not know the reason, and do not know how to solve? If you just don't understand, be sure to check it out.
First of all, it is clear that breast milk must be better than formula, and it is not right to think that formula is better when you don't see your baby waking up frequently at night.
When pregnant, the doctor will suggest that the pregnant mother will give birth to the baby in the future, it is best to choose breastfeeding, when the baby is born, the doctor will still make such a suggestion, and propose to let the baby suck as soon as possible, which shows that it is very important to let the baby eat breast milk.
There is also Bao Ma's colostrum is very precious, which is not available in formula milk powder, and the colostrum is rich in antibodies, which can improve the baby's immunity and prevent bacterial infections such as germs. The color of colostrum is very light, generally yellowish white or yellowish, and the composition of fat and sugar is very small, so be sure to give your baby breast milk.
Some people do not understand, may think that the colostrum is too light and nutritious, just squeeze it out, do not do this, do not give the baby to eat is a pity.
Secondly, we must understand what is the problem that the breastfed baby always wakes up frequently at night. Mostly these three reasons, don't understand it anymore, take a look at it.
First, the baby is used to milk sleep
Night feeding is not easy, some mothers will choose to milk sleep, when the baby cries directly lying down to feed, this is indeed a lot easier, but it is easy for the baby to rely on eating night milk, because when lying feeding, the baby is easy to fall asleep without eating, and so on and then continue to eat, then it will be intermittently fed, and then we seem to wake up frequently at night.
Once the baby becomes dependent, whether hungry or not, the baby will wake up several times at night when sleeping, otherwise it is uncomfortable not to eat, so the baby is used to milk sleep is one of the reasons for frequent night awakenings.
Second, the baby is often not full
It is said that breast milk is very precious, to give the baby to insist on feeding, but also to divide the situation, if the quality of the mother's breast milk is not good, it will make the baby often not full, then the hungry stomach will naturally wake up frequently at night, if the mother does not know this reason, it will frequently feed night milk, so that the baby will be dependent, but also will delay the baby's physical development, eat badly and sleep badly, the development will not keep up.
How to tell if your baby is full? Can observe his movements, when the breast milk is insufficient, the baby will suck very hard at the beginning, but after eating for a while will show a very angry state, crying and making noise, after this action appears frequently, to see the baby's weight changes, found that there is not much increase, indicating that breast milk is insufficient.
After finding this reason, you can try to chase milk first, after doing this is still ineffective, then you have to try mixed feeding, don't stubbornly only feed breast milk, otherwise it is not good for the baby. Obviously, the baby often does not eat enough is also one of the reasons why he wakes up frequently at night.
Third, breast milk is too easy to digest so that the baby is hungry fast
Breast milk is easily digested, then the baby will be hungry fast, and the baby who eats formula milk wakes up more times at night, which is one of the reasons why the baby wakes up frequently at night. But it's good when the night milk is slowly formed.
Breastfeeding has benefits, but to know that to a certain stage of the need to timely weaning, generally when the baby is four months old, the mother can try to slowly reduce the amount of milk or the number of times, so that the baby to form the habit of sleeping, gradually quit night milk, if the baby is eight or nine months, or even one year old is still eating night milk, it will be bad for the baby.
On the one hand, it affects the quality of sleep, and on the other hand, it affects the health of the teeth. Babies who frequently eat night milk will have poor sleep quality, sleep badly every day, and their physical development will lag behind. And the baby began to grow teeth around six months, but also frequent night milk, will corrode teeth, the future is easy to grow caries, before the permanent teeth grow out, deciduous teeth are all broken.
In addition, quitting night milk is not equal to weaning, that is, you can not feed at night, but the milk during the day needs to be insisted, it is best to feed to about two years old, after six months of baby, you can match complementary food, so as to meet the baby's long needs.
Do you understand the reasons why breastfeeding babies wake up frequently at night? If you do it wrong, correct it as soon as possible, and be good for your baby.
