1. Reasons why babies sleep after feeding
It is very common for babies to sleep while breastfeeding. This is because in the first few months after birth, babies\’ brains and bodies are still developing and they need a lot of sleep to support growth and development. Moreover, breast milk contains a substance called triple probiotics, which can promote the growth of beneficial flora in the baby\’s intestines, aid digestion and absorption, and also make the baby feel at ease and relaxed.
2. How to make your baby sleep well after feeding
1. Create a comfortable environment: keep the room temperature appropriate and reduce noise and other disturbing factors.
2. Keep your baby awake: Touch or tap baby parts (such as palms or soles) before feeding to stimulate nerves and keep them awake.
3. Ensure correct posture: When feeding, make sure the baby\’s head and body are in a straight line, and hold them so that their head is slightly higher than their chest.
4. Don’t let them overeat: Overeating can cause indigestion in babies and make it difficult to sleep. You can feed the amount of milk during feeding so that the baby eats about 70% and then stops.
5. Establish a regular work and rest time: Let your baby develop a regular work and rest time, which will help them form good sleeping habits.
3. Things to note
1. Do not let the baby fall asleep while feeding: If the baby falls asleep while feeding, they may choke on the milk or even cause suffocation. Therefore, stay asleep while breastfeeding.
2. Avoid over-dependence: If babies develop the habit of falling asleep only after feeding, this will cause them to become dependent on breast milk and have difficulty falling asleep on their own.
3. Do not interfere excessively: Some parents will talk or sing loudly while their children are breastfeeding, which may interfere with their children\’s sleep. A quiet, gentle environment should be maintained.
4. Conclusion
In short, in the first few months after the birth of our children, we need to give them enough care and care, so that they have a good sleeping environment and a regular schedule, so as to promote their healthy growth. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to avoid some bad habits and behaviors to avoid adverse effects on children\’s health.
