Young parents often do not know how many times a day they should feed their small child. According to the doctor
Pediatrician Sanjeev Jain emphasizes that it is best to feed your baby every time he becomes hungry.
Moreover, if the baby is premature or suffers from certain diseases, then he needs to be fed according to a schedule.
There are several signs that you canunderstand that the baby is hungry. For example, hungry children often cry. But before that, they can lick their lips, stick out their tongue, look for breasts, fuss, put their hands to their mouths several times, open their mouths, try to suck on objects that are nearby.
It is important to know that the behavior described above can speak not only about hunger. Children who need to be changed or just hugged can behave like this.
But what if you suddenly overfeed your baby? This also happens. And this is also indicated by certain signals. He may begin to have a stomach ache, gas formation, vomiting, and belching.
It is clear whether the baby is eating enough, you candiapers. In the first few days after birth, you should change two to three diapers per day, and after four to five days – at least five to six diapers.
