Two month old baby crying while drinking milk

Since infants and young children cannot express their emotions accurately, every time something goes wrong with them, they will choose to cry to attract their parents' attention. Because the stomach and intestines of infants and young children are at a fragile stage, they can only rely on breast milk to maintain the nutrition needed by the body. Generally, infants and young children are very happy when drinking breast milk, but some two-month-old babies start crying when drinking milk. What's going on?

Why does my two-month-old baby cry when feeding?

1. The baby experiences nasal congestion and other discomforts. In daily life, babies may have nasal congestion due to various reasons. When they want to feed, they cannot breathe through their mouths. If they cannot feed well, they will get angry and cry. Therefore, new parents can check the baby's nasal cavity. As long as the discomfort of nasal congestion is improved, the symptom of the baby crying while feeding can be improved.

2. Gastrointestinal discomfort. Babies aged 2 months may also often experience gastrointestinal discomfort because the gastrointestinal tract of babies under 3 months old is immature and they cannot adapt well to the external environment and food. It is for this reason that symptoms such as indigestion, bloating and diarrhea will occur, so you must pay attention at this time, as these symptoms will also cause the baby to cry while feeding.

3. Oral diseases. For babies under 2 months old, if they have oral diseases such as thrush, they will feel a series of discomfort when breastfeeding, and these discomforts will also cause the baby to cry while breastfeeding.

4. Not enough breast milk. Many mothers know that breast milk is the most nutritionally balanced food for babies. Many new mothers choose to breastfeed, but compared to formula feeding, it is obviously not so easy to control the amount of milk through breastfeeding. Because if the baby is feeding with formula, we can implement 100 to 120 ml per kilogram of the baby's body weight per day, and parents can master it well.

Two months old baby feeding precautions

1. When the baby is feeding, his body should be on the same level and his waist should not be twisted. Do not feed your baby immediately after he or she starts crying loudly, as it is easy for the baby’s breast to be snatched away. You should wait until the baby has stopped crying before you can feed him or her.

2. When feeding, you must empty one breast and then feed the other one. This way you can ensure enough milk each time.

3. During breastfeeding, if the mother feels her nipples are swollen, it means that the milk will flow out in large quantities all of a sudden. At this time, the mother must pay attention and can pinch the areola with the index finger and middle finger to appropriately block the outflow of part of the milk. If you still feel that your baby is in a hurry to swallow, you can withdraw the milk for a few seconds before letting him eat again.

After reading the introduction, I believe everyone knows the reason why two-month-old babies cry when they are feeding. There are actually many reasons, perhaps the baby’s gastrointestinal discomfort, or perhaps oral disease, etc. After finding out the cause, solve it accordingly. In addition, parents should also pay attention to not feeding too hastily, not feeding too much, and making reasonable arrangements when feeding.
