In the face of the baby's crying, many people's first reaction is to breastfeed, especially when the baby eats milk frequently during the day and only does not cry with milk, most people feel that the milk has not eaten enough. However, is this really the case?
The baby cries, the mother-in-law blames, and the new mother is almost depressed
Watching her mother-in-law walk over with pig's trotter soup, Pingping couldn't help but feel a little sick to her stomach, because she had drunk too much milk soup recently. It was sullen and the baby was crying again. Tapping and shaking could not appease, and Pingping had to open her clothes again.
"Baby just doesn't have enough to eat, so she always cries, your milk is too little." The mother-in-law's tone was slightly reproachful. Pingping felt that she was about to become depressed, and the sense of sacredness of breastfeeding was gone, leaving only helplessness and self-blame.
During the full moon physical examination, Pingping and the doctor told the doctor about this situation, and the doctor carefully observed and proposed that not only was she not hungry, but she ate too much and did not digest.
"Aren't you hungry? Obviously, I only have to hold milk every time and don't cry? The mother-in-law asked doubtfully. When the milk was put in his mouth, he ate it directly out of reflex, but the more he ate it, the more he swelled, and then he cried again. The doctor's explanation also made the mother-in-law ashamed.
We all know that the only way for a baby to express discomfort is to cry, and in the first few months, most of his sucking action is instinctive, that is, as long as the milk is in the mouth, he will instinctively suck, so it is easy to create an illusion of "not full, too hungry".
In fact, children frequently eat milk, cry as soon as they put it down, in addition to insufficient breast milk and other reasons, parents should carefully check, not careless.
Children frequently breastfeed, cry as soon as they put it down, in addition to insufficient breast milk, there are other reasons, bao mom will be able to check
1, the baby eats too much and does not digest, stomach distension
On the one hand, in many cases, as soon as the baby cries, the adults rush to feed. However, newborns have a small stomach capacity and may unconsciously eat too much. The digestive system of newborns is still particularly delicate, and it is easy to swell and feel uncomfortable.
On the other hand, the family gave Bao Ma a lot of food, hoping to have enough milk. If the mother eats too greasy, the breast milk may be relatively difficult to digest, and the baby will feel uncomfortable because of the bloating.
So how to judge whether the child is full or not? You can first observe whether the baby's stomach is hard and whether the stool is sour.
If there is, that is, eating too much to digest, it is necessary for mothers to give the baby a proper reduction in the number of bites of milk; and after an hour after the child eats milk, gently massage the baby's stomach, you can also cooperate with warm water hot compresses; finally, mothers must adjust the diet appropriately, can no longer eat so greasy. If the old man had to force his mother to drink greasy soup, he could explain to them why he couldn't do it.
I believe that after this series of adjustments, the baby will not frequently have to suckle, put it down and cry.
2. The baby has a lot of gas in the intestine and intestinal colic
Unlike simply eating too much, small month-old babies are also prone to experience another kind of intestinal discomfort, that is, intestinal colic. When your baby cries and feeds, it's easy to swallow air into your stomach. These gases accumulate in the intestine, which is easy to cause intestinal colic.
Babies with colic will especially want to be held by adults, because the position of holding them will be relatively comfortable than lying on the bed. And babies with colic often cry sharply and continuously, because the peristalsis of gas in the intestines is too painful for a baby.
If your baby's belly is hard, grunting, and has more farts, then it is necessary to consider whether it is colic.
Parents can take the following measures -
Try airplane hugs. Simply put, it is to try to make the baby in a lying position, so that his stomach can contact our arms, thighs, etc., stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and let the gas be discharged as soon as possible;
Do exhaust exercises. Stimulate the discharge of gas by pressing on the stomach and lifting the legs.
Keep hiccups. After feeding, hold the baby upright, hold the empty fist on the baby's back from the bottom up, usually after a few minutes can hear the obvious hiccups.
3, the baby may also be frightened, insecure, so frequently want to drink milk.
Newborns are very sensitive, for large sounds, strange smells, etc. may feel afraid, if frightened, parents should do their best to accompany to give enough security.
Ms. Li's baby began to cry after the full moon, and went to the hospital to check and found no abnormality. Fortunately, after asking for help in the mother group, someone proposed that the child may be frightened! "That said, then there must be a superstition!" The mother-in-law who loved her grandson said urgently.
Ms. Li recalled carefully and found that the baby was crying abnormally after the full moon. On the day of the full moon, many relatives and friends came to see the baby, and many people also enthusiastically hugged the baby.
Could it be that there were too many people coming that day, and these strange sounds, smells, and the feel of holding the child made the baby feel scared? Therefore, the couple adjusted their strategies, taking the baby to bask in the sun, playing soothing music, touching the baby's small hands to tell stories, gently rubbing the baby with their own faces, and trying to accompany the baby when sleeping... After a series of adjustments, your baby's condition has improved considerably.
"Fortunately, I didn't listen to me, but I still had to use scientific methods!" Looking at the grandson who was getting better, the mother-in-law praised Ms. Li.
Babies are our heart meat. When he is crying abnormally, although we are very anxious and distressed, we must remember that hunger is only one of the reasons, and we must not use milk as a key to external energy. Only careful observation and careful analysis can find out the real cause and treat it symptomatically. Otherwise, it is the baby who suffers!
Mothers, do you feed your baby as soon as you cry?
