All kids eat differently: someone sucks greedily, someone likes to savor, and someone is lazy and falls asleep immediately, as soon as they put it to his chest. Whatever your "sucker" is, you must correctly understand its infantile character and find an approach to it. Proper feeding is the guarantee of the future of the child's mental and physical health.
There are several types of babies allocated by the way they like to eat.
Greedy.
They greedily grab at the nipple, even if they are not hungry. They suck so hard, sometimes so vigorously, that they hurt their mother's breasts. Eat for a long time, like to eat everything, to the last drop. Mom better to use breast attachments to protect yourself from cracks on the nipples and keep the breast healthy. Do not take such a thief from the chest until it is full enough.
Sweet-toothers.
Enjoy every drop of mother's milk, got to them in the mouth. Therefore, they like to suck breast long. Before they eat, they like to rasplovat milk, soak it in the mouth, play with the nipple. Do not rush the baby, these preliminary exercises are as important to him as the food itself. This sets him up for a good appetite and increases the use of milk for the baby's body. If you start urging him to eat faster, it can seriously disrupt the digestion of crumbs. The main thing with sweet tooth - patience!
Thinkers.
They start to suck, but soon they can think about something or even doze off. They like to alternate food and rest. The feeding of thinkers is long - up to forty minutes. They should also not be forced to eat faster than they can do. They will have an excellent appetite and a good mood if they are not rushed.
Seekers.
These hawks are constantly in a hurry to eat and lose their mother's nipple. Having released it from the mouth, they begin to get nervous and cry, because they can not find it on their own. Seekers from such a loss can even fall into despair. If your baby is one of those, then it's best to calm him down and help him find the nipple in time. If he burst into tears, then, before continuing the feeding, calm him down, shake him, sing him a song, and after that continue feeding.
Sloths.
Lazy-kids often do not want to eat on their own. It seems that they are waiting for the milk to flow into their mouths. Feeding for them is hard work, so they are practically indifferent to the breast. Do not get nervous that your baby refuses to eat. He will be lazy until he is really hungry. Then he will eat without objection. Usually feeding such lazy crumbs does not go according to the schedule, but how they themselves will want, because you will not be able to feed such a baby on a schedule.
