1, if the breast milk is insufficient, the baby shows great strength when sucking milk, but soon he doesn't want to suck any more and falls asleep, but he wakes up and cries after sleeping less than 1~2 hours, which often suggests that the mother is short of milk, or the mother's nipple is sunken and the baby is not full, so the milk quantity should be increased appropriately.
2, the baby will cry when sucking, and then suck hard. After a while, you will cry, cry and want to eat, and you will always be reluctant to let go of your nipples. When the baby is breastfeeding, the mother's other breast does not secrete milk, which also shows that breast milk is not enough.
If you touch your child's mouth with your finger when he is crying, and they open their mouth, then it may be that the child is hungry, which is a sign of not having enough to eat. At this time, the mother can breast-feed the child.
How to judge whether the baby has enough breast milk?
1, the frequency and characteristics of baby's urination and defecation also reflect the baby's hunger and satiety. Observation of micturition: Only relying on breastfeeding, the baby urinates more than 6 times in 24 hours, which is a satiety phenomenon.
2. This judgment method is not suitable for babies who drink plenty of water (breast-fed babies don't need to be fed with water under any circumstances, and if they are fed with water from a bottle, it will also interfere with breast-feeding). If you urinate less than 5 times a day within 24 hours, it means that the milk is not enough and the baby is not full.
3, observe the stool: abnormal stool, constipation and diarrhea. Normal stool should be yellow ointment. When the milk is insufficient, the stool will be secret, thin and green, or the frequency will increase, and the amount discharged each time will be less. This is a sign that the baby is not full.
