Feeding neonates should breastfeed as needed

宝宝

Do not strictly limit feeding intervals during breastfeeding, especially during the first few weeks after the child is born. The amount of milk each time the newborn is eaten is not the same, so sometimes the child is hungry 1 hour after feeding, and sometimes it seems that children do not want to eat at intervals of 3 hours. These conditions are very natural, and each baby is unique, and the amount of food is not the same, so it is advisable to breastfeed as needed.

The benefits of neonatal nursing on demand

The on-demand breast-feeding method can not only drain the breast milk in time, but also stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete more prolactin through frequent sucking, so that the amount of milk is continuously increased, and the unnecessary stress and anxiety of the mother can also be avoided. (Excessive tension and anxiety can be suppressed by the reflex mechanism, inhibiting breast secretion).

How to breastfeed on demand?

As long as the baby wants to eat, he can feed at any time; if the mother's milk arrives, and the child is willing to eat, he can also feed, instead of sticking to the “predetermined time”.

The newborn's stomach volume just after birth was only 30 milliliters, and the amount of milk that can be sucked at a time was only about 20 milliliters. With a small amount of milk and a short stay in the stomach, children soon become hungry. Therefore, it is normal to feed milk once in two hours or so.

TIPS:

Feeding 8 to 12 times a day for the first two weeks of birth is the number of times we recommend feeding. It is not until about the 2nd month that the baby will be extended to 2.5 to 3 hours to feed the milk. At this time, his stomach volume has reached more than 100 milliliters, and the intake of milk in the stomach is longer.
