In
the early part of the life of a baby supplementation of breast milk is
necessary. It provides them an ideal dosage of nutrients for their rapid
development. This does not mean things are easy. The crying of baby during late
nights can make a mother frustrated. If you are thinking even after hungry baby milk to sleep why does my
baby cry? Trust me you are not alone!
Consider
things first
Figure
out whether supply of milk is the real problem or not. The baby is not in a
position to say” I am full”. You would have to observe signs of communication
to understand that they are full. Weight gain or diapers would provide an idea
if a baby is full. The doctor can guide you on how many wet diapers you need on
a daily basis.
Now
understanding on how to count a wet diaper? Just pour teaspoons of water in a
clean diaper which would provide you with a feel on your hand. If numerous wet
diapers are found, with weight of your baby increasing by 4 to 7 ounces weekly,
doctor would be able to confirm that the baby is gaining enough weight.
The
baby could feel the need for more milk
Sometimes
a hungry crying baby could take
things overdrive. If your baby really seems hungry there would be no point to
be discouraged. Mothers are physically not in a position to produce more milk.
If a couple of changes can be made in your routine it will enable you to
produce more milk
- Get in touch with a lactation specialist to figure out what
is sustainable and effective for your family
- Nurse on a regular basis. New born babies would need nursing
for 8 to 10 times during the day. Do offer them breast milk on a regular basis
or a few pumping sessions would stimulate your body to produce more milk
- Increase intake of water and have a balanced diet. If you try
to lose weight just after pregnancy can have an impact on supply of breast
milk. Do take good care of yourself along with your little one
- Have a glance at herbal supplements. Most of them help to
enhance the supply of milk. Do consult a lactation specialist before you
consume them
- If need arises supplement formula. An ideal diet for your
baby is breast milk and feeding them is the best course of action. Regular
feeding of breastfeeding is the key and at the same time the supply of it
should not decrease. Formula milk once in a while could reduce the gaps though
the baby could absorb essential antibiotics from you. In case if you are not
able to increase milk supply it could be a temporary
phase.
Still
your baby is into breastfeeding and screams after being fed. Then it is time to
explore other options. Gas pain could force the baby to cry. Sometimes your
baby might need a little bit of pampering as well.
