Four Problems And Solutions On Feeding Your NewbornWritten by Amy Fadden
Continued from page 1
3. Problem: Fussiness of babies while feeding. Solution: This is frequent problem faced by most of mothers. Your baby may be crying because of many reasons, e.g., a burp ready to come up, you might have no more milk left in your breast or your baby may be full. Thus, stop feeding and make your baby burp. Thereafter, offer second breast to your baby if she appears to be hungry. If your baby is bottle-fed, follow same process, i.e., interrupt feeding and make your baby burp at least twice or thrice while feeding. 4. Problem: Lactose Intolerance (inability to digest lactose) to baby. Some babies are unable to digest sugar lactose, which is in cow's milk formulas. They are said to be lactose intolerant. Symptoms of lactose intolerance may include excessive gas, abdominal swelling and pain, and diarrhea. Solution: If you are breastfeeding, alternate it with lactose free formula as breast milk contains appreciable amount of lactose. Secondly, avoid taking dairy products, as they are likely to enhance lactose levels of breast milk you produce. Thirdly, try to finish one breast before offering second to your baby. By doing so, your baby will get more of hind milk, which is richer in fat and help cure diarrhea seen in lactose intolerant babies. Finally, a potential solution to this problem may also be switching over to soy-based infant formula, or other special lactose-free formula, several of which are commercially available.
