Recently, many mothers have been discussing the issue of feeding their babies night milk. Some mothers say that their babies often eat night milk frequently at night, and the amount they eat is still relatively large. Some mothers say that their babies usually only eat one or two night milk, and the amount they eat is not much. Due to the two completely different situations, mothers are at a loss. Therefore, when asked by the editor, what is the amount of night milk for a half month old baby?
During the period from birth to three months old, there are many benefits to feeding your baby at night. Whether it is for the baby or the mother, on the one hand, it helps the mother promote the secretion of milk, and on the other hand, breast milk is nutritious and easy to digest, which cannot support the baby to sleep all night. In order to help the baby grow better, feeding at night should be based on the principle of on-demand feeding, rather than feeding on time and in the right amount. As long as the baby shows a desire to feed, the mother should feed the baby.
For babies who are half a month old, even if they do not actively wake up at night or do not show a strong desire to breastfeed at night, as long as the mother observes small movements such as the baby's hands, feet, and mouth, she can pick up the baby and feed it, or place the nipple near the baby's mouth to stimulate the baby's desire to breastfeed.
When feeding a half month old baby at night, mothers should not use the most comfortable lying position to feed because they are too tired at night. This feeding position is actually very dangerous. Once the mother accidentally falls asleep during feeding, the nipple may obstruct the baby's breathing, and the baby may be unable to push it away, which may cause a risk of suffocation. Therefore, no matter how tired the mother is, she should adopt a sitting position to feed.
