Why does the child not take breast, psyche?

Specialists in the field of breastfeeding argue that the reasons why a newborn child does not take breast and psyche, a lot. A categorical refusal of milk may indicate a poor state of health of the crumbs, or, conversely, of its rapid development. Therefore, the main task of the mother is to correctly identify and eliminate the true cause of what is happening, so as not to endanger the baby's health and further successful lactation.

Why does not the child want to take the breast?

  1. It is generally accepted that a newborn baby is instinctively familiar with the basic mechanism of obtaining food, but this is not entirely true. Like his mother, the little one is just learning how to properly grasp the breasts in order to regale with colostrum, so the fact that the child turns his head and does not perceive the breast at first does not surprise. A little time and patience - and together you will rejoice at your first joint achievement.
  2. Very rarely the process of feeding at times is complicated in view of the anatomical features of the oral cavity of the newborn, such as a short frenum , cleft palate or lip.
  3. Why the child does not want to take breast - an urgent issue for moms 3-month-old babies. At this age, crumbs suffer from colic and other gastric "troubles" and, accordingly, often refuse to eat.
  4. By six months, the little boys are becoming rather curious, and very often curiosity takes you up over hunger. A child can turn his head, be capricious, if his mother persistently tries to feed him at a time when a small researcher is clearly interested in something else.
  5. Why a hungry child does not take a breast and freaks out - parents are puzzled, who began to introduce lure with delicious, for example, fruit puree. Very often, after trying other food, the children make an attempt to give up milk. Also, a smart baby can give up a breast after trying to eat from a bottle. The risk of failure is particularly high in cases, if the hole in the nipple was large, and the crumb did not have to put special effort.
  6. Of course, do not expect that the baby will eat with greed and appetite if he has a cold. Difficulty breathing and general malaise does not promote active sucking. But this reason is one of the most obvious.
  7. Breast can also be followed with pain in the ears, throat, fever and diseases such as thrush and stomatitis.
