The baby hums while feeding

The expression of the baby while feeding is what mothers like to see the most, because babies are really very cute and they will feed seriously. Every baby's feeding situation is different because they have their own characteristics. Each person's small actions are based on their own situation. Some babies will eat milk in big gulps because they are hungry, and will not care about what is happening around them. However, some babies will do other things while eating milk. If there is such a baby around, why does the baby hum while eating milk?

1. If a newborn baby always hums while feeding, it is generally a sign that the baby has reached a growth spurt. For example, the baby may constantly suckle and pull away while feeding, be very irritable, wake up more often at night, feed non-stop, etc. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and mothers don’t need to worry too much.

2. Another reason why newborns always hum while feeding is that their stomachs are uncomfortable. If a newborn feeds too quickly or for too long, it will cause colic, so mothers should pay attention to their feeding posture, feeding time, and diet, and eat less gas-producing foods.

What to do if the baby cries while drinking milk

1. Divert your baby's attention. When the baby cries while feeding, the parents can give him some musical toys that make sounds. When the baby hears the sounds, the sound will attract and divert his attention, and he will stop crying.

2. Check whether the baby is bloated. Sometimes babies cannot digest the milk, which causes bloating in their stomachs and makes them feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, the more the baby feeds, the more he cries. The mother can put her hand on the baby's belly, gently tap the back of her hand, listen to the echo of the baby's belly, and judge whether the baby is bloated. If it is bloating, you can use your palm to do clockwise massage around his belly button.

It is generally normal for babies to hum, cry, or twist back and forth while feeding and are not obedient. Mothers do not need to make a fuss or scare themselves. If the baby is a newborn, it has not yet formed a tacit understanding with the mother, so various discomforts may occur. At this time, mothers just need to pay attention to comforting the baby more. Usually, there is no big deal.
