After many babies are born, mothers will choose to breastfeed them because breastfeeding can improve their resistance and is the best choice for them. However, there may be many problems during breastfeeding. So, what if the baby doesn't suck on the nipple?
Check if the breastfeeding posture is incorrect. If it is, continue to change the breastfeeding posture. When breastfeeding, mothers should maintain a comfortable position, with the baby facing the mother's body and the baby's mouth facing the mother's nipple. At the same time, slightly stretch the neck and align the head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line.
Is it a problem with the baby? Is the frenulum too short? Because the frenulum connects the tongue and the bottom of the mouth, if the frenulum is too short, it limits the extension of the tongue. This phenomenon is also relatively common in newborns. Breastfeeding problems in infants with a frenulum that is too short are higher than those without a frenulum. Therefore, infants who breastfeed after lactation should be checked in a timely manner to see if the frenulum is too short.
Does the mother have inverted nipples? If there is an issue with inverted nipples, a replacement nipple can be installed, which is sold in maternity and baby stores. After ruling out these issues, it is also important to pay attention to whether the baby has been fed formula and is already full. Find the relevant reasons and then crack them down one by one to solve the problem.
It may also be caused by oral diseases. If the baby's mouth is uncomfortable, it can also lead to this situation. Therefore, it is advisable to give the child some water to drink appropriately. If this situation also occurs during water feeding, it may be due to the baby's oral diseases. It is best to observe the baby's condition in a timely manner. If there are various problems such as internal heat, sore throat, oral diseases, etc., it is best to seek timely treatment and adjustment.
