Why does the baby hum when feeding?

Breast milk is the first choice for female friends, because it can provide babies with nutrition that formula milk cannot. Some new mothers find that their babies hum when they are breastfeeding, which makes mothers very curious why the baby is not honest when breastfeeding. Is there any problem with the baby during the breastfeeding process? Let me tell you why the baby hums when breastfeeding.

1. Lack of tacit understanding

The newborn baby and the mother have not yet formed enough tacit understanding. If the mother is not comfortable with the feeding posture, the baby will adjust itself by twisting its position, which is also a signal to the mother that "I need to change the position".

2. The baby's head is too low

Mothers should slightly elevate one side of their baby's head while feeding. If the head is too low or completely at the same height as the body, since the baby's stomach is horizontal and the seal is not tight, it can easily aggravate the spitting up of milk, and if milk flows into the ears, it can cause otitis media.

3. Only put the nipple in

Many mothers only let their babies suck on the nipple when breastfeeding, but this is actually wrong. Feeding with the nipple only can cause the baby to take in too much air while feeding, causing bloating or hiccups, etc. If your baby's stomach is uncomfortable, he will naturally twist and turn in protest. The correct breastfeeding posture is to let the baby hold the areola in his mouth instead of just sucking on the nipple.

Some new mothers are always worried about their babies being hungry, so they often switch to the other side immediately after the baby has only been eating for a few minutes. You should know that although foremilk is high in sugar, it does not contain enough fat. Not only does the baby get hungry easily, but in severe cases he may also suffer from colic.

5. Excessive hunger

Many mothers think that babies will cry naturally when they are hungry, so they wait until the baby cries before breastfeeding. In fact, crying is a late signal that your baby is hungry.

1. If his baby is a little tired of milk, wait a little longer between two feedings. Feed him when he is hungrier. It will soon be effective. In addition, the baby may have abdominal bloating. It is recommended to reduce the amount of milk, take Mommy Love and massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction to relieve abdominal bloating.

2. If the baby cries after eating a few bites, and cries again after eating a few bites, this is mostly due to nasal congestion. First, check whether there is secretion or nasal mucus in the nasal cavity on both sides. If the baby has a lot of nasal secretions, the mother can apply a warm towel around the baby's nasal cavity to moisten the inside of the nasal cavity to encourage the baby to sneeze and help expel the blockage.

3. If the baby makes noises while feeding, it is normal and you can observe the baby to avoid nasal congestion. If you are worried, you can go to the pediatric department for a detailed examination. Generally, it is enough to rule out a cold.

5. The baby's condition is mainly caused by indigestion after catching a cold, or by food accumulation caused by the mother eating food that is difficult to digest. The mother should usually get proper sun exposure to supplement calcium. In severe cases, take some gastrointestinal regulating drugs orally.
