Many mothers have noticed that their babies' faces turn red when they are breastfeeding. For the occurrence of this phenomenon, most mothers are not aware of the reasons for its occurrence. Their biggest concern is that they are afraid that this phenomenon is caused by illness and that if not taken seriously, it will have an impact on their child's physical health. Is it normal for babies to blush while breastfeeding?
As long as the baby is in good health and has no abnormal symptoms, there should be no crying or other symptoms when breastfeeding. Even if the face turns red during breastfeeding, it is normal.
We often describe a person using the "force of breastfeeding" when doing something, but for certain things that require a lot of effort to do, this description is actually very appropriate because babies do exert a lot of force when breastfeeding, and this force is really "primitive power" for them with small bodies. Eating milk once is like adults doing physical labor. The baby's face also has very rich capillaries, which are very fragile. When the baby is breastfeeding, exerting force can easily cause the face to turn red.
Of course, parents should also carefully observe their babies and pay attention to whether there are any symptoms of elevated body temperature or if there are any other abnormal symptoms (such as choking on milk), in order to avoid mistaking the child's illness, fever, and facial redness as a normal manifestation of breastfeeding due to parents' carelessness. As long as there are no abnormal symptoms observed in the child, it is normal for the child's face to turn red while breastfeeding.
