Signs of a baby growth spurt

As the baby grows up day by day, parents will find that the baby is changing every day. Not only does the baby's appetite increase and needs to be fed frequently, but sometimes the baby will become very irritable and cry incessantly when something goes wrong, making parents very helpless. These are all manifestations of the baby's growth spurt. Parents should take good care of their babies during their growth spurt, pay attention to their babies' psychological reactions, and comfort them.

1. Increased food intake and frequent breastfeeding.

Babies who are in a growth spurt will have a significantly increased appetite. The mother feels that her breast milk is not enough for the baby recently, and the baby has to feed for longer each time. Sometimes he is reluctant to let go even when he is about to fall asleep, as if he is not full. When your baby shows this characteristic, he may be entering a growth spurt.

2. Bad temper.

Babies who are in a growth spurt tend to have a bad temper. Sometimes when he is breastfeeding, if the milk is not to his liking, he may pull the mother's nipple in anger. He became crybaby and irritable. Sometimes while he was feeding, he would spit out the nipple out of anger and cry. After crying for a while, he would hold the nipple again and continue feeding. He indicated that his mother gave him too little "food" and it was not what he wanted, so he felt wronged.

The mother should increase nutrition in her own diet, get enough rest, and try to produce more milk to meet the baby's growth and development needs. For mothers who have been exclusively breastfeeding, try to let the baby suck more and eat the hind milk. If the baby is still young, there is no need to rush to add milk powder. If the baby is already taking complementary food, the amount of complementary food can be increased appropriately.

There are many types of growth spurts in babies. Parents can pay more attention to them and then try nutritional care. I believe it will have very good results. In fact, as long as you protect your personal diet, adjust a balanced nutritional structure, and regularly observe your baby's body temperature changes every day, I believe you can avoid most adverse symptoms.
