Health tips: the newborn baby can't speak, parents can't communicate with the baby directly, they can only judge the meaning from their actions, it is very important to observe and pay attention to the baby's various actions. Today, let's talk about how to judge whether the baby is full. It is not correct to judge whether the baby is full only from the length of the baby's feeding time. Because some babies will continue to suck for 10 minutes or more after sucking empty milk, while others just like to suck and play. It is impossible to accurately judge whether a baby is hungry or not just from his crying, because babies often cry for other reasons.
Baby fed with milk powder
If you eat milk powder, it is easy to judge, mainly depends on how much the baby eats at a time. Generally, babies less than 1 month old usually have 60-90 ml / time, while those who have been engaged for 1 month are 90-150 ml / time. Some babies have a big appetite and need to eat after eating. It is better to prepare more milk than the actual amount of the baby. On the one hand, it can judge how much the baby has eaten, on the other hand, it can satisfy the baby's appetite. For 0-3 months of the baby, the daily total milk volume had better not exceed 1200 ml, each time up to 210 ml, otherwise easy to cause obesity.
Breast fed babies
Breastfeeding is more difficult to estimate, mainly from the following judgment.
1. Breast self feeling
Mother before breast-feeding, breast has a sense of fullness, surface veins exposed, hand on time, milk is easy to squeeze out. After breast-feeding, the mother will feel the breast soft, slightly sagging.
2. The sound of sucking
On average, every two or three times a baby eats milk, the mother can hear her baby purr. At this time, sucking is slow and powerful, sometimes milk will overflow from the baby's mouth, this state about 4-5 minutes, the baby has eaten most of the full, and then, the sucking power gradually becomes smaller, and after 5-6 minutes, the baby will fall asleep with a nipple, which indicates that the baby is full. If the baby is still sucking with nipples for more than 30 minutes, it tells the mother that she is not full.
After the baby is full, generally can sleep peacefully for 2-3 hours, and some can play for a while after waking up. If the baby crying uneasy, or sleep for a while to wake up, it means that there is not enough, the mother should think of ways to increase the amount of milk.
