Nowadays, more and more women do not reject breastfeeding, only for the good of the baby, no matter what the body becomes in the future, many mothers must insist on exclusive breastfeeding, you may also be one of them, very great.
But breastfeeding seems simple, in fact, there are many small problems, if not handled well, the mother will be physically and mentally exhausted, such as the baby who eats breast milk always wakes up repeatedly at night, making the baby sleep quality poor, the mother also sleeps badly. I have also encountered this problem before, and then I took the mixed feeding method, the baby slept well every night, I don't know if you encountered this situation?
How about a breast-fed baby who always wakes up at night? Figuring out why is more beneficial for your baby's growth! Check it out, don't miss it.
The first thing may be that the baby is not full. For this point is divided into two situations, one is that the baby is still very small, not enough strength and likes to sleep, then it is easy to fall asleep before eating, in this case, it will wake up repeatedly, but it is much better when the baby is older. The other is insufficient breast milk, if this is the case, it will make the baby hungry every time, and sleeping hungry will definitely wake up frequently.
The second may be that the baby is used to eating night milk. For this situation, most of it is a habit developed by the mother to the baby, because the night is too dark and too sleepy, the mother will take the way of milk sleep, the mother lies down to feed, over time, the baby is used to this way, sometimes not hungry will wake up naturally, just to eat a few mouthfuls of milk. Therefore, babies who are accustomed to eating night milk will also wake up many times at night.
In the end, it may be that the baby is not feeling well. For this situation, either flatulence, or baby teething, if it is flatulence, the baby's stomach will be very uncomfortable, the cause of this, most of the reasons for this is that the mother did not burp the baby in time after feeding, almost lying down to feed, feeding the mother herself to sleep. If it is a baby teething, most of it is about 6 months, and the baby's gum bed will be very uncomfortable during the tooth attack, which will affect sleep and lead to frequent awakenings.
The above reasons cause the baby to wake up repeatedly at night, the mother can observe more, and the mother should do the following points, which can greatly reduce the frequency of the baby's frequent night awakening.
1, observe the state of the baby drinking milk, if you have not eaten a few bites on the fall asleep, to wake up the baby in time to feed, if the baby eats for a while, it is difficult to hear the rhythmic swallowing sound, may be insufficient breast milk, or try to not breastfeed for a long time during the day when the breast does not rise, if not rising, indicating insufficient breast milk.
After finding insufficient breast milk, it is necessary to adjust the diet in time, let the family take more babies, the mother rests more, nourishes the spirit, eats well, adjusts the mood well, looks at the feeding situation, if it is still not possible after hard work, it is necessary to add milk powder in time, mixed feeding is more helpful for the baby's growth. Otherwise, often do not eat enough, nutrition can not keep up, poor sleep quality, will affect the growth and development, and the same age difference.
2, when feeding night milk at night, it is best not to milk sleep, every time you feed the baby, you should hold the baby up, so that if you feed, the mother is not easy to fall asleep, you can observe the baby's situation very effectively, put it on the small bed after feeding, do not sleep next to the adult, so that the baby will sleep well, and the frequency of frequent awakening is small.
3. After feeding the baby, burp in time, the palm is hollow in the baby's back from the bottom up, let the baby burp out, so as to avoid spitting up milk and flatulence.
4, if the baby reaches the stage of teething, the mother must have enough patience, do not move the murderer, only the more gentle the mother, the faster the baby's emotions will return to calm, to help him through this sad stage.
