| Little bookworm mom
After becoming a mother, the most unbearable thing is that the baby cries. As soon as the baby cries, the mother's heart is like a knife cut, just want to make the baby quiet as fast as possible.
After giving birth to Dabao, he was still satisfied in the month, he slept after eating, woke up, the small body twisted around, with his small mouth open and sucking, I knew he was hungry, and picked up and fed in time.
Who knows, after the full moon, Dabao became more and more crying, and when he cried, his little face became red, and even he was breathless, which frightened me. Therefore, whenever the baby cries, I will take him into my arms as quickly as possible, send him sweet milk, and the baby will feed and soon stop crying.
After insisting on this for a period of time, I found that Dabao had such a situation, often spitting up milk, overflowing milk, flatulence, the number of stools increased, and sometimes pushed me away with his hands and refused to eat.
I thought that the baby was sick, took him to the examination, the doctor detailed some feeding details, told me: the baby is overfeed, to adjust the feeding method in time. Don't feed your baby as soon as you cry, causing overfeeding will only hurt the baby.
The doctor told me that whether the baby is overfeed, mainly depends on these 5 major manifestations: frequent spitting up milk and milk leakage, frequent flatulence, abnormal bowel movements, decreased appetite, and rapid weight gain, and my family's big treasure has all these conditions.
The first time I was a mother, with a baby alone, the doctor's words frightened me. After returning home, in order to feed the child well, I bought some parenting books and came back, ready to learn parenting knowledge.
In the book "Encyclopedia of Natural Parenting for 0 to 6 Years Old", I learned about the harm of overfeeding to children, shared it with everyone, and hoped that new mothers would take a warning through my case.
The harm of overfeeding to your baby
For the sake of their children's health, new mothers should not overfeed, only feed when the baby is hungry, do not feed the baby as soon as she cries or often feed the baby by feeding, which will lead to overfeeding. Overfeeding can bring these hazards to children.
(1) It is easy to cause confusion in digestive function
The baby's digestive system is not perfect, and excessive feeding increases the workload of the digestive organs, which is easy to cause confusion in digestive function and cause indigestion.
(2) Easy brain fatigue
Because the baby eats non-stop, in order to digest these excessive foods, the limited blood and oxygen must be moved from the brain to the digestive organs, so that the brain will cause hypoxia and ischemia, so that the baby's brain is easy to fatigue. Such a long-term state will inevitably affect the baby's brain development.
(3) Easy to be obese
Long-term excessive feeding can easily lead to baby obesity, affect the development of large movements, and also increase the probability of adult obesity, which has an impact on the physical and mental health of children.
How do I know if my baby is full?
Backstage often receives some young novice mothers consultation, how to know if the baby has eaten enough? The little bookworm mother, after learning and combining the experience of feeding two children, can be observed through these 4 signals.
The first signal: your baby's sleep
As the saying goes, it's good to eat and sleep. After the baby is full, there will be a sense of satisfaction and it is easy to fall asleep. If the mother finds that the baby is still sucking and sucking for more than 30 minutes, there is also crying and uneasiness. Or after falling asleep, less than 1 to 2 hours to wake up to find the mother to feed, these situations indicate that the baby is not full.
If these conditions occur, the mother should appropriately increase the amount of milk or extend the time of a single breastfeed. If the baby does not cry after feeding, or even shows a satisfied smile, or falls asleep while feeding, it means that the baby has eaten enough.
The second signal: your baby's stool
If your baby is adequately fed, the baby will generally empty the stool within 3 days after birth and gradually turn to normal stool. After 4 days, most babies will have 3 or more bowel movements.
However, there are obvious differences in the frequency of stool in healthy babies who are breastfed, some babies are as little as once every two days, and more than once after each feeding, so the number of stools is not used as the only basis for judging whether to eat enough, and it is necessary to combine several other signals to make a comprehensive judgment.
The third signal: your baby's urination
After a week of birth, the baby urinates an average of 6 to 8 times a day (diapers are wet with more than 6 diapers, and more than two-thirds of the color rendering strips of each diaper are wet. ）
Normal baby's urine is clear and transparent, pale yellow or dark yellow. If your baby urinates less often, the urine is dark yellow or orange, or there are brick-red marks on the diaper, it usually indicates that the baby's milk is insufficient, and if breast milk or formula is increased, this situation should not improve, it is recommended to check it.
The fourth signal: the weight of the baby
Your baby's weight gain or loss is a measure of how much milk is available. After two weeks of birth, the baby generally gaines about 30 grams of weight per day, and most babies will double their weight when they are 5 to 6 months old, and will reach about 3 times their birth weight near 1 year old.
If the baby's weight gain is in line with the growth law, then the baby's daily milk is enough, if the weight gain is slow or not increased, it means that the baby is not full.
The mother of the little bookworm suggests that parents usually record the baby's growth curve, which can also help reflect the baby's nutrition and feeding problems.
If at a certain time, the baby's growth curve trend suddenly changes, rapid rise, you can consider whether in terms of diet, whether to give the baby "too much to eat too much and too full" every day, some overfeed, to make timely adjustments.
If regular monitoring, it is found that the baby's measurement value is stable on a certain percentile curve almost every time, or parallel to the upper and lower percentile curves, and any parallel curve indicates that the baby's growth index is good. #育儿有妙招 #
