Breastfeeding: If the baby is breastfed after 5 days of birth, it is best not to limit the number and amount of milk that the baby drinks. It is recommended that mothers feed their babies as needed, that is, according to their needs for breast milk, so that they don't feel hungry.
When to feed: you can feed when the mother's milk rises or the baby is sucking. Don't wait until the baby is too hungry to feed, which will easily lead to spitting and spilling milk.
Milk powder feeding: the amount of milk for newborn babies is about 70 ml each time in the first 5 days.
Day 1 day: about15ml each time; Day 2: about 20 ml each time; Day 3: about 30 ml each time; Day 4: about 45 ml each time; Day 5: About 70 ml each time.
Babies fed with milk powder feel full longer than those fed with breast milk, so parents can feed them every 2-3 hours, 8- 10 times a day for about 20 minutes each time. As long as the baby stops swallowing, it means that the baby is full. At this time, it is necessary to take out the bottle in time and don't let the baby sleep with it.
In addition, the concentration of milk powder should not be adjusted too thinly, otherwise the baby will not have enough to eat. Parents should follow the instructions on the milk powder package and adjust the milk powder according to the baby's specific situation.
Mixed feeding: Generally, after a mixed-feed baby drinks his mother's breast milk, there is no milk on both sides, and then milk powder is added. In this case, it is best for parents to follow the way of breastfeeding and adopt the method of feeding on demand, combined with the actual milk demand of the baby, so that he is neither hungry nor overfeed, so that he can grow up healthily.
How to judge whether the baby is full 1, and breast-feeding (1) depends on whether the mother is soft.
Before breastfeeding, mothers will feel full, and the veins on the surface of * * * are exposed. It's hard to press * * * by hand, and it's easy to milk. After the baby eats breast milk, the mother will feel that * * * has been hollowed out, and * * * is soft and slightly drooping, indicating that the baby is basically full. If the baby is not very soft after eating it, it may be that the baby doesn't eat much milk.
(2) See if the baby still has the sound of breastfeeding.
When the baby is breastfeeding, it will make a rhythmic sucking sound, and the swallowing sound can be heard every 2-3 times on average. If the baby just sucks without making a swallowing sound, or sucks and swallows once at a time, it means that the mother's milk is running out. If the baby is still hungry after eating, it means that the baby is not full.
(3) See if the baby is satisfied after breastfeeding.
After eating, the baby will feel satisfied both in expression and physical condition. Some babies will smile at their mothers, or stop crying, babble and enjoy themselves. He grins when others make fun of him. Some babies will fall asleep quietly immediately after feeding and will not wake up for 2-3 hours. After waking up, they will also show a happy spirit, which shows that the baby is full.
(4) Look at the number of times the baby urinates.
In the first two days after birth, the baby must urinate at least 1-2 times. From the third day after birth, you have to urinate 6- 12 times and defecate 1-2 times every 24 hours, indicating that the baby is basically full. If he urinates or defecates too little, it means he hasn't eaten enough. But if the baby eats milk powder and the stool is dry, it is normal once a day.
(5) See if the baby has gained weight.
Take the baby's 6 kg at birth as an example. The following is the weight standard that the baby needs to increase in one month. If the baby does not meet the standard, it may be that the baby is not full.
Attachment: baby's one-month weight gain standard
1, the first 7 days: the baby's weight is 3%-9% lower than that at birth. If the baby weighs 6 kg at birth, it will weigh 5.82-5.06 kg 7 days after birth, and the lowest weight will be 3-4 days after birth.
2. Day 7-10: The weight returned to the level of birth, about 6 kg.
3. Day 10-20: Weight increased to about 7-8 kg.

Remarks: If the baby is not full, these situations may occur: put down the baby and wake up, the baby will cry when feeding with nipples, and hold the baby after eating.
2, milk powder feeding standards: look at the number of feeding.
Generally, the dosage of the baby less than 1 month is 60 ~ 90 ml, and that of the baby more than 1 month is 90 ~ 150 ml. Some babies eat a lot and eat after eating. It is best to prepare more milk each time than the baby actually wants to eat. On the one hand, it can judge how much the baby has eaten, on the other hand, it can satisfy the baby's appetite. For babies aged 0 ~ 3 months, it is best not to exceed 1200ml every day, but at most 2 10ml each time, otherwise it will easily lead to obesity.
