Breastfeeding is a very important process, and it takes a lot of effort to suck it out. So the baby is sweating every time he eats milk. But some babies have exhausted all their strength and still can't suck milk, and then they can only cry. Mothers are puzzled. I obviously have milk, how can the baby suck it out?

What's wrong with the baby sucking milk and not sucking it out?

There may be more than one reason why the baby can't suck milk. It may be that the baby's sucking ability is weak, or it may be that the feeding posture is incorrect. It may be that the baby's digestive function is poor or the sucking reflex is weak. If the breastfeeding method is not correct, you can't just let the baby hold the nipple, but let the baby hold the areola as much as possible. The bigger your mouth, the better you suck on your child. Because the baby wants to use the lower jaw to squeeze the breast under the areola to stimulate milk secretion, not the nipple. Usually when a child sucks correctly, the lower lip will evert, which is correct.

In addition, don't let the child hook his head, lean back a little, and feed more smoothly. If the child just doesn't open his mouth, then you can use the nipple to Doby his lower lip until his mouth opens quickly. If the posture is not correct, put your finger between his lips or gently press his jaw or hold him tight and bet his nose with your breast to force the baby to open his mouth and then plug it again.

What if the baby can't suck milk?

1, insist on letting your baby suck more. You can ask your family to prepare a hot towel for you (be careful not to get too wet), and then put the towel on your breast to make you feel comfortable. If you feel that the milk volume is not particularly high, drink more soup. Newborns need less milk, so don't worry about it.

2. Let your family, preferably your husband or mother, cover your breasts with both hands and gently knead them left and right. When you can't feel it, hold the baby immediately and let him suck. As long as the baby can suck it out at first, I believe it will always be smooth.

3, the baby's posture should be correct. Breast fullness, the baby can't suck milk may be because the baby's posture is not correct, so every time breastfeeding, the nipple first touches the baby's lips, inducing rooting reflex, making its mouth wide, and the upper milk contains much more than the lower milk when sucking, making it suck slowly and deeply.

It is not necessarily that the baby won't breastfeed, which is often related to the baby's sucking power and the mother's feeding posture. Therefore, mothers should always observe the baby's dynamics. If you find that your baby can't suck milk, it's not because of the lack of milk. Try to find out the reason. If the posture is wrong, adjust the feeding posture. If it is a baby's problem, you should consult a doctor.
