What is the reason why the baby is always hungry?

In many cases, the baby's health is a problem that we are always worried about. Many parents face the situation of babies not eating or not being full. At each stage, how much the baby should eat is a problem that parents are very concerned about. Observing the baby's eating situation is a very good phenomenon, which is also conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.

Adjustment methods

There are four ways to adjust for babies who eat too much:

1. Prolonging the breastfeeding time. If you simply extend the time without reducing the amount of milk, it is not scientific, because the amount of milk a baby eats is often two or three times the standard amount. If the baby is fed every four hours as per the standard, we can't let the baby die from overeating in one meal and then not eat for seven or eight hours. This is not a good idea.

2. If you only reduce the amount of milk during the day, and ask babies who eat too much to eat less during the day, I'm afraid they will cry just like the first method. The mother can't bear it and will feed them again. Moreover, if they feed them every two or three hours, both the baby and the mother will be very tired.

3. Combine the previous two methods, delay the time while reducing the amount of milk. If you want to prevent the baby from crying when the time comes like before, mothers may have to do it little by little. It is slower, but it is also a way.

4. This is my personal experience. When the baby goes to sleep at night, I reduce the amount of milk to the right amount. They will be more likely to want to sleep at night, and the amount they eat is also appropriate. They will not feel uncomfortable and naturally will not make a fuss. It is easier than adjusting them throughout the day.

Since the last two methods are more feasible, why do I still write about the first two? It is because I am afraid that mothers will use the first two methods. So I will tell you all and let you analyze them yourself. If you have any questions, we can discuss them together.

Regarding the standard of milk quantity, I would like to thank Ms. Zhang, a feeding expert at Fu Kang Home, Peking University School of Medicine, for providing me with free services. Because they have a membership system and I am not a member, she generously helped me when my baby ate too much and I didn't even know it and was exhausted by the baby. So I want to share my luck with every mother. We would also like to thank the experts from the Abbott hotline. They also confirmed the milk quantity standard mentioned by Teacher Zhang. In order to suit different babies, their standard is 100-120 ml per kilogram. I would also like to thank the mothers who trusted me and allowed me to adjust their babies, which gave me more experience. Finally, I would like to thank my daughter Xuanxuan, who is the best person to implement my feeding methods because her sensitive skin and belly can verify some feeding knowledge very well.

Note: For babies who are exclusively breastfed, mothers must also learn to feed them at regular times. Do not feed them as soon as they cry, as this will result in overfeeding. There are many reasons why babies cry, and it does not necessarily mean they are hungry. Remember this.

The above is about the problem of babies not being full. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In our lives, what we need to do is to observe carefully. The baby’s condition and the surrounding environment will affect the baby’s physical health. This will be more conducive to the baby’s growth and protect the baby’s physical health.
