Newborn baby won't wake up and won't feed

After giving birth, mothers should not only pay attention to their own bodies and the baby's physical recovery, but also pay attention to the child's diet. Newborns often cannot wake up and do not eat. This depends on how long the child has slept. If the sleep time exceeds the normal limit, the child should be taken to the hospital for examination in time.

Mothers can choose the method suitable for their baby according to their baby's own situation. There are several specific methods:

1. Improve the eating environment

As the baby grows, his hearing and vision have great breakthroughs, and he has a strong curiosity about the surroundings. Therefore, the baby is easily affected by the surrounding environment (especially the baby after 3 months old), so family members should try to create a quiet and gentle environment when the baby is drinking milk. You can eliminate all noise sources around you, such as TV, mobile phones, radio, etc. This will help your baby concentrate and focus on breastfeeding.

2. Adjust feeding method

Mothers can choose a pacifier that suits their baby according to the baby's own situation, and pay special attention to the design of the pacifier and the size of the hole.

It is worth noting that before feeding, the bottle should be turned upside down to see whether the milk drips evenly to facilitate smooth feeding of the baby. Parents can also play games with their babies to increase their baby's exercise, so that the baby will naturally feel hungry and want to eat after exercising.

Adjust your baby's eating time in time, feed small amounts, multiple meals, and make feeding time more regular. Many mothers do not determine a specific feeding time, and often adopt the method of "feeding as soon as the baby cries". This is unscientific and not conducive to the baby's own growth. Mothers need to pay attention to avoid giving their babies too much food or water at least one hour before breastfeeding, and make sure that the baby's food must be easy to digest.

4. Use as a food supplement

Since babies eat the same thing every day, they may easily lose interest in the original food or even develop a resistance to it. In fact, babies aged four to six months can try to be fed complementary foods, which increases the baby's nutrient sources and enhances nutrient intake, so mothers can feed them more new foods.

Many mothers become too impatient when their babies refuse to breastfeed, and some even use abnormal means to force their babies to breastfeed. This will have the opposite effect and make the baby even more unwilling to eat. On the contrary, the mother should accompany the baby to breastfeed in a gentle and happy mood. This mood can also boost the baby's eating mood, making the baby feel at ease and more conducive to eating.

6. Use medication appropriately

Parents can choose whether to seek medical attention based on the severity of their baby’s refusal to breastfeed. If the baby's refusal to breastfeed is too serious, mothers can take the baby to seek medical help. The doctor will prescribe some appetizers to help your baby improve his appetite and increase his food intake.
