Breast milk is a kind of magical food. It is a ration that babies will rely on after eating.
Nowadays, more and more mothers want to breastfeed, and they will encounter many difficulties on the way to breastfeeding. The most incomprehensible thing is that the baby will refuse breastmilk.
Newborns are reluctant to take breast milk after they go home. Ms. Lu is a premature baby and has lived in an incubator for half a month. During this period, Ms. Lu freezes the breast milk squeezed out by in the refrigerator and wants to keep her secretion. Breast milk.
finally waited until the baby came home from the hospital, she couldn't wait to bring the baby over to breastfeed, but found that baby was a bit resistant to , but was very interested in milk powder.
Ms. Lu felt a little frustrated and helpless. The mother-in-law said that the child was a little unfamiliar with her, so please check again after contacting for a few days. Sure enough, two or three days later, the baby gradually accepted breast milk. Ms. Lu was very pleased to see the baby in her arms.
Do babies hate their mothers if they don’t eat breast milk?
Sometimes mothers will feel sad when they see that the baby does not take breast milk, thinking that the baby hates herself, but there is a reason why the baby does this.
Let us not see that a baby does not eat breast milk and is anxiously forcing him, we must first find the reason and solve it accordingly, otherwise it will only aggravate the baby’s resistance to breast milk.
Why do babies refuse to take breast milk?
1) There is no first contact with breast milk
. Like Ms. Lu’s situation, when the baby is born prematurely or the mother fails to breastfeed the first time after delivery, the baby is used to the food he eats first.
So when you eat breast milk later, there will be some discomforts, because breast milk is not very sweet compared to milk powder, the taste is more fishy, the baby will refuse the pure breast milk taste if he is used to the fragrant milk powder.
2) The baby’s "mouth shape" is wrong.
Although babies will suck after birth, it does not mean that they have the correct sucking posture. This also includes the wrong angle when the mother is feeding RT into the baby's mouth.
When the mouth shape is not right for the baby, it is difficult for the baby to suck out breast milk. Z4z feels very tired during the process of breastfeeding. . For babies who are incapable, even breastfeeding is so troublesome, they will refuse breast milk.
Therefore, he would choose a bottle that sucks out milk better, or he would rather starve himself, and be angry and cry.
3) The baby is in a bad mood and is unwell.
When a baby starts to take breast milk very smoothly, he suddenly refuses breast milk in the middle. Consider whether you are in a bad mood or unwell.
Little babies will enter the period of anorexia at about 4 months. At this time, they will grow teeth, the gums will be uncomfortable, painful and itchy, and their irritability will affect appetite.
At this stage, , don’t force your baby to take breast milk, and don’t lose your temper to him. You can buy some teether to relieve his gum discomfort. Every time you comfort your emotions, will give you breast milk a lot better.
In addition, when the baby is unwell, he may refuse to take breast milk. Such as flatulence, stomachache, cold and nasal congestion, etc., physical discomfort, reduce baby's appetite.
4) Mother's problems
The baby is sometimes very demanding and he wants to breastfeed in a comfortable position. When 's mother is too skinny, is a little bit painful to hold him, or the angle to hold him is wrong, she will refuse to take milk. If
is in the shape of mother’s RT, too large, too small or dent will make it difficult for the baby to suck. What he may refuse is not breast milk, but mother’s RT.
This may require a certain amount of traction from the mother, or give the baby a period of time to adapt. If he really refuses, he can squeeze it into a bottle to feed.
Solving the problem of breastfeeding will bring many benefits.
Breastfeeding is not just as simple as saving money. After solving the baby's milk-boring problem, it will benefit both mother and baby.
★ It is conducive to postpartum recovery
When a baby sucks breast milk, it will stimulate the uterine contraction of the mother, which is conducive to the discharge of lochia and the recovery of the uterus.
★ It is beneficial to the baby's development
As long as the mother is healthy, breast milk is the safest ration for the baby. When breastfeeding, you have a solid heart and you don't need to consider how to choose milk powder.
The nutrients in breast milk are very beneficial to the growth of the baby, and will change with the growth of the baby. The immunity of the baby who eats breast milk is stronger.
