Babies' breastfeeding time

Many newborn mothers think that the baby sucks milk for a long time because he is not full, so he can eat more if he eats for a long time. In fact, this is a wrong idea. It is not good for a baby to suck milk for a long time.

1. From the change of feeding ingredients, the breast milk sucked first has high protein content and low fat content; With the increase of milk intake, the fat content in breast milk gradually increased, while the protein content gradually decreased. If breast-feeding time is too long and fat intake is too high, it will cause diarrhea in children.

2, if the milk has been sucked empty, then use the nipple to suck, inhale air, easy to spit milk.

So how long should I feed each time? It is generally believed that unilateral feeding only takes 10 minutes. You can eat 50% of the total milk in the first 2 minutes, 80 ~ 90% in the first 4 minutes, and hardly eat much milk in the last 5 minutes. This shows that the longer you eat milk, the more milk you eat. From the point of nutritional value, it only takes 4 minutes to feed one side of milk. However, we can't think that the last five minutes are unnecessary because it has biological significance. On the one hand, it can promote the release of prolactin and stimulate the secretion of milk, on the other hand, it can strengthen the relationship between mother and baby. If one side is not empty enough, you can feed the other side.
