After giving birth to a baby, everyone knows that breast milk is the best food for the baby. Before adding complementary food, mothers are also willing to insist on exclusive breastfeeding for their babies. But in the process of feeding, many mothers are always worried about whether the baby is full. How to see if the baby is full?

Many mothers listen to their babies when they are breast-feeding. Swallow sound? Listen to the baby's swallowing sound to judge the baby's breastfeeding situation.

When breastfeeding, you can't hear the baby swallowing. Does it mean that the baby can't breastfeed? Judge? Is there enough breast milk? What's the most direct way? Listen to the baby swallowing? If the baby swallows milk for 65,438+00 minutes at a time, and after eating it for about 20 minutes, he will take the initiative to loosen the nipple and show a happy and satisfied expression, or he can sleep peacefully after drinking breast milk, which means that the baby can drink milk and must be full.

However, some mothers will doubt whether their breast milk is not enough when breastfeeding their babies.

Generally speaking, it is likely that the mother's lack of breast milk leads to the baby's lack of swallowing sound, but for the second-month baby, their sucking and swallowing ability is weak, and their appetite is not very large. In addition, the new mother's breast milk is slowly secreted before it increases, so in the initial stage, it is normal that the baby's swallowing sound may not be heard when breastfeeding. Don't worry if mother doesn't.

Judge? Is there enough breast milk? Except? Listen to swallowing? You can also look at these points 1. Look at the number of feedings.

For breast-fed babies, because? Individual differences? So the feeding frequency of different babies is not fixed every day, usually at least 8- 10 times a day, usually once every 2-3 hours, yes? Can you eat? Babies with high demand may have shorter intervals and breast-feed more frequently.

2. Look at the baby's urine.

Newborn babies urinate relatively little when they start to urinate. If they urinate more than three times a day on the third day of birth, it means that the baby has enough milk.

With the increase of breast milk, the frequency of the baby's defecation will also increase, and then it may increase to 6-8 times, and the defecation may reach 6-8 times or more (most babies in the month will defecate after eating, which is a normal phenomenon caused by special physiological conditions, so mothers don't have to worry).

3. Observe the baby's weight gain

After the full moon, the baby's normal weight will increase by about 2 kg, and within 3 months after birth, the baby's weekly weight will increase by about120 g. Generally, every time the baby is vaccinated, the child care doctor will measure his height and weight. If the baby's height and weight are within the normal curve range, it can be explained that the breast milk is sufficient and the baby can eat enough.

4. Look at the baby's expression, is there? Satisfaction?

After eating breast milk, if the baby is full, the baby will show a satisfied and relaxed expression. When the baby is younger, he will sleep directly for 3-4 hours at a time. Older babies will play with their mothers for a while after eating and drinking, or their mothers will giggle when teasing them.

5. Look at your mother's own feelings

A mother with plenty of breast milk, if? Do you have the feeling of breast fullness before breastfeeding? Do you have the feeling of breast pressing when breastfeeding? Do you have the feeling of breast softening after breastfeeding? Yes, that means the baby should be full.

Every time you suck milk, the baby can swallow a big mouthful every 2 ~ 3 times on average, which can last for about 20 minutes. And in the process of feeding the baby, there will be a milk matrix (that is, the injection reflex caused by the stimulation of the baby's sucking action); At this stage, the baby will gulp down when nursing. If the baby can't swallow it, he may be choked.

After the baby's full moon, the mother's milk production will gradually stabilize. Before that, there is no need to worry about whether there is enough milk. Only about 5% of new mothers really lack breast milk. Therefore, mothers should have confidence in themselves when breastfeeding their babies and believe that they can give them enough breast milk.
