Under normal circumstances, it is not normal for a 20-year-old to eat milk four times a day. Generally, you should eat about 10 times, 1-2 hours once, and have a lot of defecation times. You should ensure that your sleep time is above 16 hours. The baby is a healthy baby.
1, milk quantity: babies over 20 days should eat 10 times a day. It is normal to eat more and eat less, and the milk quantity should be controlled at about 50ml each time;
2. Time for each feeding: Generally, the time for a baby to feed is between 10-20 minutes. If the time is too long, it may be that the feeding posture is wrong and the baby can't suck milk. Mothers should master the correct feeding posture;
3. Breastfeeding interval: After general feeding 1-2 hours, the baby needs to breastfeed again. After feeding, the baby went to sleep. If occasionally the baby doesn't need to breastfeed for a short time, the mother doesn't have to worry. It is normal, as long as the daily feeding amount is not much different;
1, dyspepsia: Some babies' spleen and stomach functions develop very slowly, and some very digestible milk can't be digested, which will lead to indigestion, easy food accumulation, and the baby will have no appetite to eat milk. You can massage your baby properly and take a small amount of probiotics to adjust the balance of flora in the body;
2, in the annoying period: when the baby is in the annoying period, it is also a normal physiological phenomenon. Mom doesn't have to worry too much, as long as the baby is in good spirits and the stool is normal and healthy, it will be fine after a while;
3, the baby lacks trace elements: because the baby's nutrition comes from breast milk, if the breast milk lacks trace elements, the baby will lack trace elements, so mothers must ensure the health of breast milk, and mothers should not be picky eaters to ensure a balanced diet;
4, breast milk is not enough: the baby wants to eat milk, but it is not enough every time. After a long time, the baby's stomach will be small, the nutrition will not keep up, and the body will develop slowly. Therefore, if the milk is insufficient, mothers will go to the prolactin for conditioning;
1, affecting development: the baby eats less, and the result is that the nutrition can't keep up. Without nutrition, the baby's natural growth retardation will affect the baby's physical growth and intellectual development;
2, affecting the baby's sleep: babies who eat less milk have lower sleep quality. Although the baby doesn't say anything, the nutrition inside the body can't keep up. It will definitely affect the baby's sleep quality and easily lead to the baby's irritability.
A 20-day-old baby eats breast milk four times a day. If a day here means 12 hours in the daytime, it is normal for a sleeping baby. But if a day here refers to 24 hours of day and night, it is not normal. Why? Because:
1 and 12 hours are normal: why 12 hours is normal? Because if there is only 12 hours during the day, it is normal for a 20-day-old baby to drink breast milk four times and be full every time. If the interval between two milk drinks is about 3 hours on average, as long as the baby is in good spirits, does not cry or make trouble, and the growth rate is similar to that of the doctor's physical examination, then Ma Bao should not worry.
2. Twenty-four hours is abnormal: If Ma Bao says that a day means that a baby only drinks milk four times in a 24-hour period, then it is abnormal. Because the baby's demand for breast milk is increasing day by day, he usually drinks 60-90 ml of breast milk every time about 20 days after birth. And breast milk is relatively easy to digest and absorb. If the interval between two milk drinks is about 3 hours, it is normal for a 20-day-old baby to drink milk 8 to 10 times in 24 hours. In the meantime, as long as the baby drinks too little or too much breast milk, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional pediatrician in time.
That is to say, if a 20-day-old baby eats breast milk four times a day 12 hours, it is normal to calculate the average interval between two milk drinks as 3 hours. On the other hand, if a 20-day-old baby eats breast milk four times in 24 hours a day, it is abnormal if the average interval between two drinks is 3 hours. Seek the help of a professional pediatrician for diagnosis in time, so as not to affect the baby's growth and development!
To be honest, it's a little less. Normal people sometimes get hungry after eating three meals a day. For a baby in a rapid growth period, this amount is not enough. Besides, although the milk contains all the nutrients that the baby needs, it can be ingested too little at a time. Under normal circumstances, babies within 2 months need to eat 8~ 10 times a day; 3-month-old babies should eat at least 8 times a day.
In the lactation period: there is indeed a lactation period during the baby's growth, usually in 3~6 months, and the specific reason has not been ascertained. Parents should pay special attention in case of breast fatigue. Need to ask a professional doctor to prescribe some drugs to help your baby stimulate appetite, such as drugs to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
Flatulence and constipation: If the baby has flatulence or constipation, he will also be unwilling to breastfeed. Flatulence is mostly caused by feeding posture not inhaling too much air, which can be relieved by massaging a small belly at ordinary times.
Seasons affect appetite: If it is very hot in summer, the baby's appetite will be affected. At this time, the baby can exercise more, crawl and grab things, help the gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase appetite.
Environmental impact: Adults eat according to their moods, and so do babies. A quiet environment can make your baby feel more secure and feel more at ease when eating. A noisy environment can easily lead to distraction. Therefore, choose a quiet environment when breastfeeding your baby.
