What are the symptoms of a baby not eating enough?

When parents are feeding their babies, they are worried that the babies are not full, because we know that if the baby is not full, the nutrition will not be enough, which is actually not good for his physical development. Therefore, we need to understand some common sense issues, so as to avoid the baby from not eating enough or other abnormal conditions in the body. Only when we have a scientific understanding of these common sense can we allow the baby to grow up healthy and strong.

Several issues regarding infant feeding

1. Number and interval of breastfeeding: From birth to 2 months of age, feed 7 to 10 times a day, with an interval of 2 to 3 hours between feedings during the day and 5 to 6 hours at night. For children aged 2 to 3 months, feed the baby 6 times a day, with 3 hours between two feedings during the day and 6.5 hours between two feedings at night. For children aged 3 to 5 months, feed them 6 to 5 times a day, with 3 to 3.5 hours between feedings during the day and 8 hours between feedings at night.

From 5 to 7 months old, feed 5 times a day, with 4 hours between two feedings during the day and 8 hours between two feedings at night. From 7 to 12 months old, feed 5 to 2 times a day, with 4 hours between feedings during the day and 8 hours between feedings at night. For infants under 4 months old, the interval time and feeding frequency can be flexible... Breastfed newborns can be fed at any time according to the needs of the child. Children aged 1 to 4 months can be fed about 1/2 hour earlier or later according to their hunger and fullness needs. ...

2. When adding complementary food at 4 months, you can gradually reduce the amount of milk when adding complementary food. Adding complementary food can be increased from once in the morning (around 10 o'clock) to once in the morning and afternoon (around 18 o'clock). Feed milk after each complementary feeding.

3. At 6 months, as the amount of complementary food in the morning and afternoon increases, milk and complementary food each account for about 1/2 of each meal.

4. When the baby is around 8 months old, add some cereal to breakfast in addition to milk.

5. Around 10 months old, the baby can only eat complementary foods without milk for meals in the morning and afternoon. Breast milk can be gradually reduced and replaced by cow's milk for other meals.

Breakfast for babies aged 6 to 12 months can also be based on complementary foods, with 5 meals a day, 3 meals and 2 milk, all of which can be made from cow's milk instead of breast milk. If breast milk is still sufficient, weaning can be extended to 1 and a half years old.

The above are the baby diet issues that parents need to pay attention to. I hope that in daily life, feeding the baby is something that every parent can pay attention to and understand. Only when we give the baby a correct and healthy diet, then the supplementation of her body's nutrition and the prevention of some diseases can bring better results.
