There is a saying that goes, 'There is a kind of hunger that grandma thinks you are very hungry.' Parents are always worried that their children will not be able to eat enough, especially the elderly in the family. They wish their children could eat a big fat person in one bite. Therefore, when the baby is sleeping, parents are worried that the child will be hungry and want to shout out to eat first. So, will the baby wake up on its own when hungry?
Will the baby wake up on its own when hungry
1.Although the stomach is emptied every 3 hours, babies will naturally wake up when they are hungry and do not need to be deliberately woken up for feeding. Adequate sleep will make babies grow healthier, and their physical and intellectual development is basically completed during sleep
2. For babies who are too young, it is best to ensure that they eat every 3 hours or so while awake to avoid low blood sugar.
3. Breastfeeding and formula feeding are also different and should be treated differently.
How to scientifically feed children
1.It is best to adhere to breastfeeding, as breast milk is rich in nutrients and easy to digest. For infants under 6 months old, breastfeeding is even more important.
2.If it is fed with formula milk, it is best to only feed it once every four hours, and give the child a drink of water between two feedings of formula milk.
3. The children before six months can be fed with full milk, but after six months, complementary food must be added. At this time, Rice noodles can be added to the children first. The complementary food should be added step by step, and whether the children have allergies should be observed.
Feeding children is very difficult, especially for mothers who exclusively breastfeed. Their children need to be fed every two hours at night, so mothers cannot sleep well at night. However, for the healthy growth of their children, it is also worth it. Some mothers who need to resume work after giving birth can help their children get used to bottle feeding earlier and become a breastfeeding mother.
