What to do if the baby doesn't want to breastfeed

Most newborn babies are very dependent on breast milk and will cry incessantly if they don’t drink for a while. But sometimes babies are unwilling to breastfeed, and many parents don’t know what’s going on. In fact, there are many reasons why babies are unwilling to breastfeed, such as the baby suddenly feeling uncomfortable or the parents’ incorrect feeding method. What should parents do if the baby does not want to breastfeed at this time?

2. The lighting in the feeding environment can be dim, and it is best if there is no interference from noisy sounds.

3. For some super sensitive babies, you can temporarily unplug the telephone line and turn off the mobile phone while feeding.

4. Adjust the baby's feeding mood in time: Do not let the baby do strenuous exercise for a period of time before feeding. For babies who are fed according to a feeding schedule, it is best to let the baby calm down slowly half an hour before each feeding, so that the baby can be more focused when it is time to feed.

6. The mother should be relaxed. If the mother is nervous or anxious, the baby will be sensitive to it and will also feel nervous, which will affect breastfeeding.

7. Generally speaking, breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from constipation and poor appetite, but constipation is more likely to occur when changing milk products, especially since formula milk contains iron, which makes constipation more likely to occur. Nursing experts recommend that changing milk products should be gradual. The initial ratio can be adjusted from 1/3. If the baby has no allergic reaction or constipation, the ratio of the new milk powder can be gradually increased.
