When babies are young, they often exhibit behaviors such as playfulness, hyperactivity, and mischievousness. In fact, parents do not need to worry when such situations occur, as they are normal behaviors. But sometimes when children are eating, they don't eat properly and are even playful. Some parents may ask, what's going on with a four month old baby eating and playing while breastfeeding?
What's going on with a four month old baby eating and playing while breastfeeding?
A baby around four months old may experience a slowdown in growth rate, or may lose focus while breastfeeding due to curiosity about their surroundings, so it is not necessarily due to breastfeeding. Especially for babies who drink breast milk, mothers may feel that the frequency of breastfeeding has become more fixed, no longer many times a day, so they may feel that the amount is not as high as before. However, in fact, the child has already learned to consume a fixed amount of milk, and as long as it is not due to weight loss, vitality problems, delayed development, or abnormal bowel movements, there is no need to worry too much.
What should a four month old baby do while eating and playing while breastfeeding?
If a breastfed baby is a few months old, not only will they rarely experience constipation, but they will also frequently defecate. So, for babies who have been breastfed all along, there is no need to drink too much juice in moderation every day. Just drink some after showering, before sunbathing, or during summer when sweating a lot. Babies who receive mixed feeding and those who receive artificial feeding are more prone to constipation, so it is recommended to drink some fruit juice in moderation between two milk drinks every day to alleviate the symptoms of constipation.
In fact, sometimes babies being mischievous doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. It's better to have fun at the appropriate age. A four month old baby who eats and plays while breastfeeding indicates that the baby is also constantly growing, and this is not a health issue for the baby. Parents are advised to pay more attention to their babies' diet and provide them with more vitamins.
