What is the appropriate time for babies to breastfeed?

The baby is the center of a family. Our new parents need to learn more about baby's diet in their daily lives. Babies' constitutions are relatively fragile, so we need to pay special attention to their diet. Babies usually eat breast milk and formula, but each baby's feeding situation is different. Some babies take a long time to feed. What are the consequences?

It takes some time for a baby to breastfeed, but if it takes too long, it will have an impact on the baby's body. So what are the disadvantages of breastfeeding for a long time? Many people don't know much about this.

What are the disadvantages of breastfeeding for a long time?

Affects the quality and quantity of breast milk

If the baby sucks the mother's nipple for a long time, the sucking action will no longer serve as a driving force for the release of prolactin, resulting in a decrease in the quality and quantity of milk.

Causes diarrhea

Breastfeeding for too long will result in excessive fat intake, which often causes diarrhea.

Breast leakage

When the milk in the breast has been sucked out, if the baby still holds the nipple, he will inhale air. When there is too much air in the stomach, milk regurgitation is likely to occur.

Develop bad habits

If the baby sucks the nipple for a long time, it will easily make the baby develop this habit, and it will also encourage the baby to develop bad habits such as sucking fingers, chewing things, and having a bad temper.

Disruption of eating habits

Sucking milk for too long will disrupt the baby's eating rhythm, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, and ultimately affect the digestion and absorption of food, causing the baby's growth and development to slow down.

Combined with the detailed introduction above, we know that the baby should not drink milk for too long, because too long time is not good for the baby's diet, it will affect the quality of milk, and develop bad habits for the baby. In the future, the time for drinking milk will be prolonged, which will also affect the baby's stomach and cause indigestion, so be sure to control the baby's milk drinking time.
