Many parents have a lot of questions about their baby's diet and weight. Are they eating more than they need? Are they eating enough?
However, things are pretty clear at this level, babies know how to manage their appetite to satisfy their hunger, whether it's during a bottle, breastfeeding or even a meal.
Regarding his possible slight overweight, things should return to normal as soon as the baby can walk and move around.
Diet before varying foods
Breastfeeding a baby
Ideally, breastfeeding your child is the best way to avoid worrying about the amount of milk your baby is consuming. The only information you'll have is their weight, their attitude, and how you feel.
Don't hesitate to breastfeed as soon as your child asks for it. Of course, the first few days will surprise you; your baby will suck gently and even fall asleep on your breast, and will sometimes seem thirsty for milk.
Breastfeeding is perfect for meeting all of your child's nutritional needs . Indeed, colostrum, the thick and creamy fluid produced by the mother before her milk comes in, is extremely rich in nutrients essential for your baby's good health.
The bottle, everything must be calculated
If you're worried about infant formula, there are recommendations on the boxes of these baby foods to follow regarding doses and feeding times, but be careful, these figures are only averages determined according to the weight and age of the child.
If your baby is crying out for an extra bottle, don't hesitate to give it to him. The most important thing is to carefully monitor his body's development curves. If your baby seems satisfied with his meals and is not getting ahead of his growth chart, there is no need to worry.
Otherwise, a visit to the pediatrician wouldn't be so bad, if only to perhaps change brands of milk.
Baby eats too much: what can you do to calm his ardor?
If your baby is a real little eater, try to stay calm, there is actually no problem.
The desire to eat in young children is very often directly related to their appetite. Never forget that seeing your child eat with pleasure and joy is a source of indescribable happiness.
Of course, it's important to remain vigilant; the bulges that may appear will bring back the old demons of obesity. But once again, don't panic; a baby whose weight may seem excessive won't necessarily be obese when he or she starts to toddle and burn fat.
Again, the most important thing is to stay focused on the baby's body development numbers and if all the lights are green, there's no need to worry.
Balanced meals above all, the answer to your problem
If during a visit to the pediatrician, the latter advises you to pay attention to your dear little one's meals, then try to strictly follow the nutritional advice for children of his age.
Of course, it will be imperative to remove cookies, dairy-based desserts and even fruit juices from meals or snacks.
If your baby is always hungry after meals, you will need to review the composition of his diet, but under no circumstances should you set up a strict diet, as your baby will not tolerate it.
But how do you know if your child is full?
Parents are always worried that their baby will still be hungry after a feed and will ask for more food. Some babies are particularly greedy and don't make this task easy, and it's not always easy to know what to expect.
To determine if your baby is full after feedings, there are a few signs that can help you see things more clearly.
When a baby is full, he will simply stop sucking on his bottle or breast, he will close his mouth, and even purse his lips. When you offer him his bottle or breast again, baby will turn his head and put his little hands over his mouth, at this moment, you can be sure that baby does not want to eat anymore.
Some children will continue to suckle, but not really, it's more like a game or to maintain closeness with the parents.
Conclusion
As we have just seen, there is no need to worry more than that when a baby eats a little more than normal, there are solutions and more particularly its growth curve which is the basis for monitoring in the development of a child.
If you are having difficulty with the rhythm and composition of baby meals, do not hesitate to seek help from a nutrition professional.
