After the hot weather, the baby is short of milk. What should parents do?

Parents need to judge the reasons for the lack of milk in order to prescribe the right medicine. The hot summer is coming, and many children are short of milk. Seeing that they are getting thinner and thinner, parents are also worried. There are many reasons why children do not have milk. For example, some people have a physiological aversion to milk because of overheating, and some people fall in love with the taste of complementary food. Only by finding the reason can we really solve the problem.

First of all, the mother's consciousness is wrong. Almost all parents want their children to eat more milk and grow tall and strong. Once the baby starts to lose weight, they will think that their milk is insufficient, especially for breastfeeding mothers. As long as the baby's height and weight are up to standard, mothers don't have to worry too much. Usually, they can observe babies carefully. When the temperature is high, our basal metabolism will drop, the speed of digesting food will start to slow down, and zinc will be quickly lost in the body.

This is a very normal physiological phenomenon. When the weather gets cold, the baby will gradually recover. According to the situation, the mother can supplement zinc to the baby to stimulate the appetite, and at the same time ensure that the indoor temperature is not too high, often ventilate to avoid respiratory diseases, and at the same time pay attention to drinking more water to make up for the lost water. Babies aged 3~6 months usually have a physiological period of breast weariness, which lasts for about one month. I have no other symptoms except that I don't like drinking milk, and my mental state and sleep state are very good. At this time, the mother should not force the baby to drink milk, otherwise it may lead to the baby's weariness period getting longer and longer.

After 6 months, the baby will add additional complementary food. Some babies fall in love with the taste of complementary food and naturally refuse to drink milk. Therefore, mothers must grasp the amount of complementary food feeding, don't give the baby too much at a time, don't taste too heavy, and try to be light. If the baby's indigestion is caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, there will usually be symptoms such as loss of appetite, yellow complexion, thick tongue coating and frequent waking at night. Mom can try to make some complementary foods to strengthen the stomach and spleen and avoid irritating food.
