A newborn baby has nothing else to do except eat and sleep. But some babies always hum, and for novice mothers, they don't know what's wrong with their babies and feel helpless. The baby doesn't have a cold or any other discomfort, so what's the reason why the baby keeps humming?
Firstly, if the baby's humming time is fixed, such as frequently in the afternoon or evening, it may be due to intestinal spasms, which are usually related to exhaust and bloating. How to determine if a baby has intestinal spasms? If a baby is humming for more than three hours every day for more than 20 consecutive days, it may be intestinal spasms, and it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination.
Secondly, the baby has just finished drinking milk and starts humming again after a while, which may be because the baby was not full at first, but fell asleep after eating. After sleeping for a while, the baby wakes up and wants to continue drinking milk, so he will hum. At this time, just feed the baby enough. Because newborns drink milk irregularly, they often have to drink milk when they are hungry, so if the baby is humming, check if the baby is hungry. If the mother's breast milk is insufficient, it is also necessary to consider adding formula or complementary foods to the baby.
Finally, the baby ate well, but when lying in bed, he wasn't crying or so quiet. He just kept humming, which may be because the baby is about to defecate. It may take a while to hear the gurgling sound. Experienced mothers usually change their baby's diapers after feeding to avoid the baby having too much time to defecate.
