What are the signs that babies are not full?

Nowadays, every child is the treasure of the family, so the baby’s health has become the most concerned issue for parents. When it comes to health, the first thing that comes to mind is the child’s diet. Some children are always hungry, but if parents do not understand the signs that their children are not full, they will not notice. So today we will introduce to you the symptoms that babies are not full.

Under normal circumstances, breastfed newborns do not need any vitamins or minerals to meet their daily needs; sometimes the baby will want to breastfeed all the time, but it does not necessarily mean that he is hungry. Most of the time he just wants to suck your nipples, longs to be close to you, and hopes that you will pay attention to him. So how can a new mother judge whether the baby is full? The following phenomena can help mothers judge.

The breasts are fuller before feeding and softer after feeding. Swallowing sounds can be heard during feeding (several to dozens of times in a row). New mothers have the feeling of breastfeeding. The diaper is wet 6 or more times in 24 hours. The baby's stool is soft, golden and mushy. 2-4 times a day. Between feedings, the baby is content and quiet. The average baby's weight gain is 18-30 grams per day or 125-210 grams per week.

Precautions

Warm reminder: In order to develop good feeding habits, new mothers can feed their babies every 4 hours in the first few days after the baby is born, and then gradually increase the feeding time according to the needs of their babies. Most newborns can finish drinking the milk in the breast within 10-15 minutes.

Generally speaking, the following aspects can be used to judge whether the baby is hungry or full:

1. It is more reliable to judge whether the baby is full by the baby's weight gain and daily behavior. If the baby is in good spirits and in a good mood when awake, and his weight increases day by day, it means that the baby is full; if the baby's weight gains slowly for a long time and the possibility of suffering from a certain disease is ruled out, it means that the baby is not full when he is generally considered to be full.

2. When breastfeeding, the baby does not leave the breast for a long time. After breastfeeding, the baby cries. This is a sign that he is full.

3. The baby can sleep quietly after feeding and only cries a little before the next feeding. Or sometimes the baby will suck the nipple hard for a while, then spit it out and cry, without gaining weight. This is a sign that the baby is not full.

4. If the baby has difficulty in feeding, falls asleep after sucking for a while, wakes up crying within 1-2 hours of sleep, or sometimes sucks milk violently, this is a sign that the baby is not full.

5. Abnormal bowel movements, including constipation and diarrhea. Normal stool should be yellow and ointment-like. When there is insufficient milk, the baby's stool may become hard, loose, green, or occur more frequently with a small amount of stool excreted each time. This is a sign that the baby is not full.
