Reasons for babies to twist and hum while feeding

If the baby twists and hums while feeding, it may be that the baby is happy and satisfied. Of course, it may also be because the baby is in a period of milk aversion and will feel resistance to milk. It may also be due to poor appetite. No matter what the reason is, as a mother, you must use some methods to gradually improve it and understand some precautions in breastfeeding.

Reasons for babies to twist and hum while feeding

1. If the baby is around 4-5 months old and enters the milk aversion period, he will begin to resist the unchanging taste of milk. In addition, the amount of milk he drinks begins to decrease and his appetite is poor. Naturally, he will resist and have emotions about breastfeeding. This is the normal physiological stage and need of the baby.

2. In addition to the humming reaction caused by a specific age, there are two possible reasons for most babies who are still breastfeeding. The first is that the baby wants to fart, pee or poop, and is building up emotions; the second is that the baby has maintained a posture for too long, and coupled with being full, he starts to protest with body language.

What should you pay attention to when feeding your baby

The baby's stomach is horizontal and not sealed tightly, so it is easy for him to spit up milk. If the head is too low or completely level with the body during feeding, it will aggravate the spitting up of milk, and if the milk flows into the ears, it may cause otitis media. When feeding, slightly raise one side of the head. If you are holding the baby, you can adjust the angle with your arms. If the baby is lying down, you can add a small pillow of 2 to 3 cm for the baby. The correct breastfeeding posture is to let the baby hold the areola in his mouth instead of just sucking on the nipple.

It seems that the mother's breastfeeding posture makes the baby uncomfortable, so the baby twists his body. Humming is not learning to speak, but the baby is protesting to his mother because he feels uncomfortable. Although he is still young and cannot express his ideas in words, he can already express his opinions to his mother in his own unique way. Mothers should listen carefully.
