Signs of a baby overeating during the confinement period

During the confinement period, parents should pay special attention to the baby's diet, because if the milk supply is not enough, it will have a great impact on the baby's healthy development. However, if the baby eats too much, the baby’s stomach digestion function will not be very good, which will also affect the baby’s health. Therefore, many parents are worried about their babies eating too much during the confinement period. So how do you determine if your baby is overfed during the confinement period? Parents, let’s learn together.

When a baby is very hungry, all his attention is on the food he is eating, and he will not look anywhere else for a moment. Of course, unless the baby hears some loud noises or strange sounds, the baby will only focus on his food. But if you find that the baby starts to look around, no longer paying attention to the food, but twisting around, it means the baby is full, so stop feeding the baby.

2. Avoid twisting your body

If the baby is full and you are still feeding him, he will show resistance, turn away and stop eating, and may grab your hand that is feeding you and keep dodging (don't think that the baby is playing with you at this time), bite the spoon you put into his mouth, and the most direct way is to spit it out.

3. Frequent vomiting

Newborns will spit up when they eat too much, but this is not the usual spitting up caused by not burping, but rather frequent spitting up. Babies who are bottle-fed are especially likely to be overfed. This is because parents who bottle-feed their babies will encourage their babies to eat more based on the amount they think the baby should eat. This can easily cause the baby to eat too much, suffer from indigestion, and form milk curds when spitting up milk.

Another symptom of babies eating too much is diarrhea, because if they eat too much and cannot digest it, it can easily hurt their stomach and intestines. Because you eat too much, your stomach and intestines are bloated, but the stomach's function of transporting food downward continues, so feces are discharged from the body little by little, and this is how diarrhea occurs.

Another sign that a newborn baby eats too much is crying. The baby's crying is not without reason, it is caused by discomfort in the lower abdomen, bloating or abdominal pain.
