The doctors said that they should be fed on-demand, and the baby would give him food to eat, but sometimes he really did not know how to judge whether the baby wanted to eat it. Because it is a pro-feeder, unlike the feeding powder, there is a scale, so do not know if the baby is full or not. How should a breast-feeding baby judge if he is full?

How to determine whether the baby is full

1, see the baby's satisfaction

If your baby is full, he will stop on his own. If the baby has breast milk and the baby stops feeding, he is already full. Or look at the state of the baby after eating milk, for example, the baby does not cry after eating milk, smiling at his mother or immediately go to sleep, then the baby is full.

2, see feeding time

The baby can swallow a big mouth every 2-3 times, so for about 15 minutes, the baby is generally full.

3, see the number of feeding

The frequency of newborn baby feeding should be very frequent, usually 1.5-3 hours, once an average of 8-12 times a day.

4, see urine

The baby may only wet 1-2 diapers in the first two days after birth, starting from the third and fourth days, he should have at least 6-8 wet diapers (or 5-6 diapers) per day. Breast-fed babies have stools 4-5 times a day and are generally golden yellow.

5, see the baby's weight

Weight gain is the most important indicator. Full-term babies will generally gain 720-750 grams in the first month, and will gain about 600 grams in the second month. If the baby loses weight, either it is ill or it is improperly fed. Insufficient nutrition or too little milk leads to nutritional deficiencies as one of the important factors for infant weight loss.

Breastfeeding should follow the principle

“I would like to have a baby at night and my mother shouldn’t bother me.” The newborns' need for feeding at night is a need for physical growth. Especially during the first 4 months, it is a period of baby’s growth, which may be eaten every two or three hours. . In order to reduce fatigue, it is best for new mothers to keep pace with their babies. “Baby sleeps and you wake up when the baby eats.” In the evening, you can use a feeding posture to help reduce fatigue.

"I'm afraid of allergies, and my mother must be taboo." Breastfeeding mothers need to diversify their diets. There are no strict rules for "what to eat and which to eat." Generally, you should eat fresh natural foods with different nutrition such as fruits, meat, eggs, milk, fish and nuts. Seafood is rich in nutrients, but if your child has allergies or other discomforts, he should pay attention to adjustments.

"Mom shopping, do not forget to breastfeed me." There is no breast-feeding room in public places. It is very inconvenient for a child to eat when he is hungry. In many public places in China, there are no special breastfeeding rooms. This requires the mothers to use their talents. For example, when they go out, they bring a blanket to shelter their family and prepare a breastfeeding blouse.

“Don’t worry that I don’t eat enough.” The study pointed out that 80%–90% of mothers can achieve exclusive breastfeeding as long as they have the correct knowledge and methods of breastfeeding. The early addition of formula milk powder is a major cause of insufficient milk consumption. When the baby eats the milk powder, it reduces the time for sucking the breasts, and the breast gets less stimulation and the milk produces less. Therefore, mothers want their newborns to suck as much as possible. In addition, a variety of meals, a comfortable mood, adequate sleep, family support, and maintaining self-confidence are also important guarantees for adequate milk.

“Before milk, milk should be given to me.” Milk is divided into pre-milk and post-milk. Former milk is thin and light, rich in water and protein, and thick after milk, rich in fat, lactose and other nutrients. Therefore, when you feed your baby, you must let him eat one side of the breast and change it to the other side. In this way, it can be ensured that the former milk and the latter milk are allowed to be eaten by the baby.

"I'm sorry, I bitten my mother." Nipple cleavage should be based on prevention, first of all to learn the correct milking skills, let the baby open mouth, contain live areola, correct weaning skills. Second, during pregnancy, excessive washing is not possible, and the mucous membrane on the nipple is very delicate. The substances secreted by the glands in the areola can provide lubrication and protection. Again, if you feel that your baby is not in the correct position, do not pull the nipple out of your baby's mouth. You can press it in your child's lower jaw. Finally, after each feeding, you can squeeze out two drops of fat-rich milk and spread it on the nipple. If chapped, you can use some natural lanolin nipple cream to moisten the nipples and do not wash them off during feeding. Nipple shields can also be used to avoid frictional stimulation of the nipples by clothing. Temporarily squeeze the milk into the bottle and feed it.

"I don't get milk, I can eat enough." There are three criteria for milk to be eaten enough: the child's urinary frequency, stool traits, and weight gain. Usually urinate more than 6 times a day after birth a week, the color is clear. Regular stool, no foam, no abnormal color. Weight increases by 20-30 grams per day. As long as these three standards are met, milk is enough. In fact, when the secretion of breast milk reaches a steady state and the supply and demand of mothers and babies are balanced, the situation of rising milk or spilling milk will decrease or disappear.

Five breastfeeding

One should open milk within half an hour

Within 30 minutes after birth, newborns should begin to contact the skin of their mothers for more than 30 minutes, and at the same time help the newborns suck the nipples. Within half an hour after the birth of the newborn, the foraging reflexes were strongest and gradually weakened afterwards. After 24 hours, they began to recover again.

Benefits of early milking:

1 is conducive to the secretion of breast milk, not only increase the amount of milk, but also can promote smooth milk tube, prevent milk bulge and mastitis.

2 Newborns can also promote bowel movements and excretion of fetal stools by sucking and swallowing.

3 The sucking movements of the newborn can also stimulate the mother's uterine contraction reflexively, which is beneficial to the recovery of the uterus as soon as possible, reducing the chance of bleeding and postpartum infection, and is more conducive to the mother's early recovery.

4 Early feeding helps children to have more maternal love, to meet the psychological needs of both mother and child as soon as possible, so that the baby feels the warmth of the mother and reduces the strangeness of the baby to the human world.

TIPS:

Breast cleaning before milking:

During pregnancy and postpartum breast secretion of some fluid or milk, coupled with sweating and other reasons, there may be accumulated dirt on the nipple. Before breast-feeding the baby for the first time, it should be smeared with dry vegetable oil on the dry scales of the nipple to soften the dirt, and then wash the nipple with warm water.

Two should be before the milk, after the milk are fed

In each feeding, the composition of milk also changes. Milk is generally divided into pre-milk and post-milk, which contain different nutrients.

Former milk

Explanation: The first sucked milk is called "pre-milk" when feeding.

Nutritional ingredients: The former milk is relatively thin, rich in water and protein.

After eating a large amount of the former milk, the required moisture and protein are obtained, so the exclusively breast-fed baby generally does not need additional supplementary water within 4 months after birth.

After milk

Explanation: The milk after the former milk is called "later milk".

Nutrients: After the milk looks white and thick, rich in fat, lactose and other nutrients. Provide a lot of heat to make the baby feel full.

Therefore, do not hurry when breastfeeding, must not squeeze the beginning of the former milk, can not be fed side and the other side, should allow the baby to eat as much as possible, both before and after the milk to eat, so as to be The baby provides full nutrition.
