Usually, after the birth of a child, mothers are very concerned about feeding and are worried that the child may not have enough to eat, because only with sufficient milk intake can they grow up healthy. In fact, mothers can judge whether their baby is full by observing their child's behavior. So, how to determine if a baby is full?
Mothers can check if their babies are full by observing the frequency of breastfeeding. After 1-2 months of birth, babies should eat 8-10 times a day of milk. And after three, you still need to eat milk 6-7 times a day. If the baby is breastfeeding, they should be fed according to their needs, as long as they want to be fed.
By observing a child's excretion, it is also possible to determine whether the baby has eaten enough. Usually, breastfed children urinate about 6 times a day, which indicates that there is sufficient milk and the child can eat enough. If the frequency of bowel movements is relatively low every day, it means that there is insufficient milk and the baby is not fully fed.
Mothers can also judge whether their children are full by their sleep patterns. Usually, after the baby is full, they cannot sleep quietly for about 4 hours and there will be no crying or fussing. In addition, it is normal for children who can eat well to gain weight. If a child's weight gain is slow and mostly caused by insufficient breastfeeding, then it is time to increase the amount of breastfeeding.
