In the eyes of parents, are the "dream babies" all chubby and cute? Many people have to praise when they see it: It's really good to be fed, but is this situation really good?
The baby is overfed, and the mother needs to pay attention to it
When many novice mothers are breastfeeding their babies, they are always worried that the baby is not full, and then it does not grow well, so there is a situation of overfeeding.
Many mothers don't understand what is going on with overfeeding the baby, and what harm will overfeeding bring to the baby's health?
First of all, the mother should know that the baby's stomach capacity will be different at different stages, especially the small month old baby, the small stomach capacity is pitiful, many mothers accidentally feed the baby a lot, the baby eats up, and the small belly will begin to feel uncomfortable.
Secondly, after the baby is overfed, there may be vomiting, leakage, bloating, crying and other conditions.
The last one, which is easy to be ignored by many mothers, is the problem of obesity, if the mother overfeeds the baby for a long time, the baby is easy to develop obesity in infancy.
This kind of obesity will accompany the baby for a long time, which will not only affect their physical health, but also affect their mental health, so the mother needs to pay attention to it.
How to feed properly
Every baby's situation is different, so the mother needs to explore according to the actual situation, but the mother should keep in mind that we are feeding the baby.
Especially for babies under 6 months, we should feed them on demand, rather than "crying", that is, we do not have to feed the baby as soon as he cries.
- 2~3 months old, the total milk volume per day is 500~750ml, and the number of feedings is not less than 8 times;
- 4~6 months old, the total milk volume is 800~1000ml per day, and the number of feedings is 5~6 times;
- 7~9 months old, the total milk volume is about 800ml per day, and the number of feedings is 4~5 times;
- 10~12 months old, the total milk volume is 600~800ml per day, and the number of feedings is 2~3 times.
(Under normal circumstances, 4~6-month-old babies need to add complementary food, and the amount of milk will be reduced.) ）
If you are a breastfeeding mother, you can refer to:
For example, a 2-month-old baby, the mother can feed the baby once in 2.5 hours, if the milk is very good, one side of the feeding for 15 minutes, if the milk is average, the total feeding time on both sides does not exceed 20 minutes.
In addition, the baby's food in the morning and morning will be better, the afternoon and evening food is average, if the baby does not want to eat milk at this stage, the mother does not need to force, do not let the baby's belly always bulge.
Many novice mothers will have questions, although it is feeding on demand, but how should we judge whether the baby is full or not?
5 signals to tell you if your baby is full
Signal 1: The baby will take the initiative to release the nipple after feeding, and the body will be in a very relaxed and comfortable state, especially the facial muscles and hands will be more obvious.
Signal 2: After the baby has finished feeding, he or falls asleep quietly, or wakes up and plays for more than 1 hour.
Signal 3: When the baby is feeding, there will be a situation of milk sleeping, and it is not easy to wake up, even if it is woken up, it is easy to fall asleep again.
Signal 4: The baby urinate within the normal range without drinking additional water, that is, urinate once within 24 hours of birth, increase 2~3 times of urine the next day, and urinate about 6~8 times a day after five days of birth.
Signal 5: The baby's growth curve is normal, and the weight gain is normal.
If the baby sends the above five signals, it means that the baby is well fed and eats well, and the mother does not need to worry.
