Many breastfeeding mothers usually feed their babies while lying down. It is relatively easy for mothers to feed while lying down, especially in winter when it is very cold at night. If they feed while lying down directly, the mother will not be frozen and the baby will not be frozen either. However, when breastfeeding while lying down, there may be a phenomenon where the baby is still eating milk while sleeping. Will drinking milk while the baby is asleep have any impact?
Drinking milk while the baby is asleep certainly has an impact. If the baby is still breastfeeding after falling asleep, it is easy to choke the child. Once choking the child's lungs, it can cause great harm to the child. Drinking milk while sleeping can also easily lead to vomiting and indigestion. Therefore, it is not recommended to give milk to the child while they are asleep.
If a baby falls asleep while breastfeeding, it can lead to dental caries in the long run. After the baby falls asleep, the milk will ferment in the mouth. If the baby is in the period of teething, it will cause the structure of the baby teeth to be destroyed. After the baby falls asleep, do not give the baby milk. You can put a pacifier for the baby.
To prevent children from sleeping while breastfeeding, mothers need to understand some of their baby's sleep patterns, and then give them milk at the appropriate time. If the child falls asleep while breastfeeding, they can move the pacifier or gently pat the baby to let them sleep after finishing feeding, gradually cultivating good feeding habits in the baby.
