Why does the baby eat milk frequently?

Newborns have limited digestive abilities and rely on breast milk for their basic nutritional needs. However, many new mothers lack common sense about feeding and are a little worried when their children frequently breastfeed, wondering if this is abnormal. After all, if there is a problem with the child at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. So, why do babies breastfeed frequently? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Newborns have a very small stomach capacity, so they can only take in a little milk at a time, but they excrete it very quickly. It is generally normal for newborns to get hungry quickly, eat less, and eat more frequently.

The main method of feeding newborns is to feed on demand, especially for breastfed babies, who generally eat when they are hungry, regardless of the time interval. During the confinement period, the baby grows very fast, so he needs more milk, and it is natural for him to eat more often. If you think your baby is full, you can pat his back.

Sometimes your baby may be going through a growth spurt and need extra milk, and frequent sucking can help increase milk secretion. Mother has to work harder and feed more.

The above is an introduction to why babies breastfeed frequently. I hope it will be helpful to parents. It is normal for babies to breastfeed frequently. This is mainly because the child's stomach capacity is relatively small, so they eat less each time and more often. However, the situation will gradually improve. If similar situations continue, there may be problems with the child's digestion. It is best to go to a relevant hospital for examination.
