1. The baby is not full and hungry.
If the baby doesn't eat enough milk before going to bed, he will be hungry when he wakes up at night, so if he wants to eat night milk, Ma Bao can observe the baby's reaction, whether he is crying, whether his mouth is looking for milk, whether he is swallowing milk, and whether he is asleep after eating.
2. The baby has no sense of security.
If the baby eats a few mouthfuls of milk every once in a while at night, does not cry, and then sleeps after drinking, then the baby is insecure and can only calm his mood by sucking milk.
3. Get into the habit of drinking milk and sleeping.
The baby is used to drinking milk when sleeping, and wakes up in time at night for various reasons. You can only fall asleep by leaning on your mother's nipple.
According to the above reasons, Bao Ma can analyze whether the baby wants to drink milk because he is hungry at night. Ma Bao doesn't have to worry that she doesn't have milk. She usually drinks more water and some milk soup. It has also been suggested that Ma Bao should wean infants from night milk. Regular night milk will not only make the mother sleep less and feel tired, but also reduce the baby's sleep quality, thus affecting physical development. Every time I extend the interval and frequency of breastfeeding, it's hard to stop breastfeeding at night, Ma Bao. Don't be too soft-hearted, be patient.
As a senior "eat once a night, eat once a night" demanding baby mother, let me talk about this problem.
Now Yang Miao is four years old. Before he was three and a half years old, even though he stopped eating night milk, he still woke up ten thousand times a night and nine hours a night. I feel that I have been suffering in bed for 10 thousand years, and I was awakened by him as soon as I fell asleep. In ancient times, there was a kind of torture that didn't let people sleep. My son gave me three and a half years of torture.
Straight to the point:
First of all, answer your question about whether breast milk is enough:
These three methods can rule out whether it is because the breast milk is not enough for the baby to breastfeed frequently at night.
1, you have a lot of breast milk:
If you already have a lot of breast milk, you can't finish it, and then you suck it out and put it in the refrigerator, it's definitely not enough milk at night. I was full of milk at that time, and I sucked 400ml out every day for my mother to drink.
At that time, my mother fell and broke the femoral head, and needed calcium supplement. Stop joking. My mother listened to me and I made her drink.
2. Your breast milk is very little;
If your breast milk is rarely enough during the day, it is definitely not enough at night. If it is always not enough, you should always wake up, so you need to add milk powder. If you haven't woken up after drinking enough, that's why you haven't had enough. If you're still awake, it doesn't matter if your breast milk is enough.
However, a baby who wakes up because of hunger may not sleep well and wake up easily.
You used to have a lot of breast milk, but then you suddenly lost it because of something:
My baby only wakes up three or four times a night after three months. If your baby is always awake at the age of 0-5 months and has a lot of breast milk, it is more likely to have sleep problems. If after three months, you slept well and ate very often, and suddenly something, such as emotional problems, affected the amount of milk, and the baby began to breastfeed frequently at night, it was related to the lack of breast milk and the baby's lack of security.
I started eating Yang Miao three times a night when I was two months old, but I stopped breastfeeding for a few days because of medication, and my milk became less. Yang Miao began to feel a little uneasy and woke up irregularly after three months.
When I was in Yang Miao for five months, I had a great emotional problem because of some events, which seriously affected the milk quantity. Yang Miao began to wake up all night and began to "once a night, once a night".
Even after the milk came up, Yang Miao was always awake, which made me suffer for three years. When Yang Miao was one year old, she was weaned at night, but she was still awake. Wake up 10,000 times a night, wake up for more than ten minutes, and all kinds of sleep methods don't work.
Once again, if it is not because of the lack of breast milk, it is still frequent at night:
If the above methods rule out the reason why the baby is often hungry at night, then it should be that the baby wakes up for some reason before eating night milk.
1, because I feel sick:
If the baby is not feeling well, he will always wake up and cry at night. If the baby is always crying, it is mostly unwell, maybe the diaper is full, or it may be too hot or too cold. If these reasons are ruled out, it is recommended to see a pediatrician.
2. Because of tactile sensitivity:
After three and a half years of hard work, all kinds of methods to induce sleep have failed. When I had serious doubts about my life, Yang Miao went to an early education institution affiliated to Beijing Normal University. It happened that teacher Ma Chao, a family heirloom, was in charge of this institution, and I began to get in touch with the knowledge of sensory integration. Teacher Ma told me that Yang Miao had slight tactile sensitivity and asked me to massage him with a little dragon ball. Three months later, Yang Miao finally began to sleep at night.
Finally, most of these high-demand babies grow up in poor health.
Long-term frequent night milk, mother can't sleep well, easy to be in a bad mood, and the baby can't sleep well, which not only affects growth, but also seriously affects immunity.
Apart from poor sleep, Yang Miao is chubby, much taller than other children of the same age, and seldom gets sick during breastfeeding.
When I arrived in kindergarten, I was sick every day and my health was very bad. In fact, he has been unable to sleep well, which is also related to his poor health. Just because he ate breast milk, the antibody of breast milk protected him. I didn't expect him to be in poor health.
While the baby is still young, it is most important to let the baby sleep as well as possible.
My baby is more than 5 months old now, and he often wakes up at night. I belong to breast milk deficiency. Usually, if the baby is full before going to bed at night, he may sleep better at night. If he doesn't eat enough before going to bed at night, he will obviously not sleep well and wake up often.
1, always hungry, lack of breast milk.
Babies often wake up at night. A common reason is that they don't have enough to eat. If the baby always does not have enough to eat, it will wake up repeatedly, and the mothers will not sleep well, and the babies will suffer.
Then how to detect whether the baby is full?
Mothers can squeeze out breast milk in advance, or feed the baby milk powder once before going to bed to see if the baby will wake up frequently. If there is, it may not be or not just the reason for not having enough to eat. If not, it means that the baby may not have eaten enough before, and the mother should add formula milk to the baby or think of other ways.
The baby had a nightmare.
In fact, babies not only have sweet dreams, but also have nightmares. My baby fell asleep, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and sometimes suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. In fact, the baby is just dreaming and waking up by himself.
3, the baby's gastrointestinal discomfort
The baby's stomach upset can also cause the baby to wake up often at night. Baby's gastrointestinal dysfunction, baby's stomach chills, or excessive air inhalation during breastfeeding, or improper feeding, and premature addition of complementary food will all cause baby's gastrointestinal discomfort.
Babies and mothers can hold their babies' stomachs with their left hands and pat their left hands with their right hands. If the baby has abdominal distension, which sounds a bit like "drumming" drums, then the baby may have gastrointestinal discomfort and often wake up at night.
4. Sleep too much during the day
The baby sleeps a lot during the day, which is likely to be upside down day and night, which will cause the baby to wake up often at night and sleep soundly during the day.
5, the baby lacks calcium and trace elements.
Baby's lack of calcium and trace elements can also lead to frequent night terrors and easy to wake up.
6. Overexcited before going to bed
Excessive excitement of the baby before going to bed will cause excitement in the cerebral cortex. Although the baby is very sleepy, it is very likely that it is difficult to fall asleep, and it is easy to wake up after falling asleep.
1, always do not have enough to eat, lack of breast milk-add formula milk in time.
Be sure to breast-feed your baby before going to bed, and the baby will sleep well after eating. If breast milk is insufficient, mothers can consider adding formula milk to their babies. If the baby is too sleepy to eat before going to bed, mothers can also consider squeezing out breast milk in advance and feeding it with a bottle.
If the baby's growth and development level is not up to standard, you can also consider adding some complementary food to your baby. In short, the baby can sleep well after eating. Generally, a 5-month-old baby can sleep for 5 to 6 hours after a meal, and many babies can sleep for a whole month.
2, the baby had a nightmare-to appease the baby in time.
When the baby wakes up, mothers should not breast-feed the baby immediately. First, observe the baby's state and appease the baby in time. Generally speaking, babies will continue to sleep after having nightmares.
3, the baby's stomach upset-exhausted exercise, seek medical advice in time.
If the baby has flatulence, then parents should often give the baby exhaust exercise and rub the baby's stomach clockwise. If the baby has indigestion or other gastrointestinal disorders, take the baby to see a doctor in time.
4, sleep too much during the day-adjust the baby's biological clock.
A 5-month-old baby usually sleeps two or three times during the day for half an hour to two hours each time. Adjust your baby's biological clock, sleep less during the day and sleep more regularly at night.
5, the baby lacks calcium and trace elements-vitamin supplementation and sun exposure.
If the baby's lack of calcium and trace elements leads to poor sleep, first, you can take your baby to see a doctor. Secondly, the baby should insist on supplementing vitamin AD, and usually take the baby in the sun to promote the absorption of calcium.
6, excessive excitement before going to bed-avoid too much activity before going to bed and create a comfortable sleeping environment.
It is not easy for the baby to move too much before going to bed, and it is not easy for the baby to get too excited before going to bed. You can put some soothing music before your baby goes to bed to avoid the interference of other sounds and lights when sleeping, and create a comfortable sleeping environment for your baby.
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the baby's brain nervous system is immature, and deep sleep and shallow sleep alternate constantly. When the baby can't self-regulate this sleep mechanism, he may cry or wake up. This phenomenon occurs when the baby is four or five months old. Because of the development of the nervous system and the activity of the cerebral cortex, it is easier to wake up and cry at night than when the baby is a miscarriage.
Ma Bao can reasonably judge the reason why the baby wakes up frequently at night according to the baby's phenomenon, and improve the situation in time, so that the baby can sleep well and the mothers can worry more.
In fact, your milk quantity can be judged by some methods. There are several ways to make simple judgments:
Will the mother's breasts swell before the first baby eats milk?
The second is to listen to the sound of the baby swallowing. If the baby sucks several times and swallows once, the amount of milk is definitely enough. On the other hand, if you swallow it once after sucking for many times, the amount of milk is not enough (excluding other factors such as breast blockage);
The third is to observe the mental state of the baby after breastfeeding. The baby naturally spits out the nipple every time he eats milk. His expression is very satisfied and he sleeps well, that is, his mother has enough milk.
The fourth is to observe the number of times the baby urinates. More than 6 times a day is normal.
If the mother can't judge whether the breast milk is insufficient, try adding milk powder to the baby before going to bed. If the baby can sleep for a few hours after eating, it is that your breast milk is insufficient. My girl was like this when she was more than three months old. She will wake up less than two hours after eating and then go to bed. At one time, she thought the baby was uncomfortable. At that time, grandma said there was not enough milk. After arguing with her for a long time, she decided to give it a try, so she changed her breast milk to milk powder before going to bed. It turns out that my breast milk is insufficient. After that, we can sleep until three or four o'clock and have breast milk once, so that my baby and I can have a good sleep.
If it is judged by the above methods that your breast milk is really insufficient, then decisively add milk powder to your baby. If not, then find other reasons. Maybe your baby likes that feeling and makes him feel safe. Then when the baby wakes up, you can try not to breastfeed him, give him more hugs or feed him a little water, and then go to sleep.
On the way of raising children, we can't say which way is necessarily right, so we should keep trying, sum up experience and find a set of methods that are really suitable for babies.
Hello! That's not necessarily true! First of all, you see if it is too hot or too cold, and there is no noise around, which may impress the baby! When the baby is four months old, he will eat when he sleeps at night. After eating, he will vomit. Later he found that the child was too hot. After turning on the air conditioner, the child sleeps well at night and won't wake up too early in the morning!
Frequent night milk may be related to the baby's routine, when sleeping at night. Most breast searches are not necessarily because the baby is hungry, but also because the baby wants to know if his mother is around. There is another situation, that is, the baby is sleepy, will eat and fall asleep, and then fall asleep when he is not full, so he will wake up a little frequently at night.
Not necessarily. It could be a baby boom. You can judge whether there is milk by observing your breasts through your own feelings.
Children sleep more during the day and eat more when they sleep less at night.
