If a baby is hungry, they will definitely not sleep well and are prone to crying. Therefore, many parents hope to master their baby's eating habits and let them eat something at the appropriate time. So, how many hours can a baby be hungry for at most? See how long the child can go hungry.
How many hours can a baby be hungry at most
In fact, if a child is still in infancy, they can only be hungry for about four hours at most. If they are hungry for too long, it will affect the absorption of food in their stomach. At this time, regardless of whether the child is hungry or not, they need to eat something. However, if the child is over one year old, they will start to eat complementary foods. Compared with breast milk or formula, complementary foods have a much stronger ability to fight hunger. Therefore, the natural frequency of eating for children will also decrease, and some children can go all night without eating.
What should I do if my baby doesn't eat
1. If parents notice that their baby is not eating, they can encourage their child to eat less each time, eat more times a day, and arrange a quieter dining environment for the child, as only in such an environment can the child eat complementary foods or drink milk better.
2. If the problem of children not eating is still not solved after adjusting their diet, then it is necessary to take the child to see what the root cause of anorexia is, and then let the child take some drugs that can enhance appetite and help intestinal peristalsis.
