The dangers of newborns falling asleep while feeding

The two most important things in life are getting married and having children. The joy of a newborn and the happiness of being a mother are all immersed in the birth of the baby. However, this is the beginning of being a mother. Some babies are obedient, but some newborn babies are not obedient. Babies who eat milk powder are okay, but babies who eat breast milk always fall asleep while eating milk, which is very worrying. The mother will tell you a few points below.

1. It is easy to cause caries in deciduous teeth

The amount of saliva secreted during sleep will naturally decrease its oral cleaning function. In addition, the long-term fermentation of milk in the mouth will damage the structure of deciduous teeth. To avoid this sequelae, you can put a bottle of warm water in your baby's mouth after sucking milk and let him take a few sips to clean the remaining milk in his mouth.

2. Easy to choke

When the baby is unconscious, the oropharyngeal muscles are not able to effectively protect the tracheal opening, which can easily allow milk to seep in and cause the risk of choking.

3. Affect baby's appetite

Because the milk in the baby's stomach is poured in when the baby is drowsy, the baby has no feeling of hunger when he is awake, so he has no desire to see food, and is more likely to abstain from milk afterwards.

4. Develop passive psychological behavior

Humans seek things because they have needs. They eat because they are hungry and wear clothes because they are cold. Similarly, babies need to know how hungry they are so that they can have a better appetite. If the baby falls asleep easily every time he feeds, he is passive in this process. Such a habit will naturally be harmful to the baby over time.

After reading the above introduction, should you be concerned about letting your baby fall asleep after feeding? Nowadays, young mothers love their children. They can't stand it if the baby cries once or twice. They can't bear to hear the baby cry, so they always insist on letting the baby feed until he falls asleep. They can't bear it. After reading the above, although the harm caused is not scary, it is still better to pay attention and be ruthless for the health of the baby! I wish you success soon!
