Symptoms of insufficient breast milk at five months

Breast milk is the best milk for babies during their growth stage. Most mothers usually feed their babies with breast milk. However, milk secretion is limited by many factors, and there is often a situation where there is not enough milk for the baby to eat. For first-time mothers, it is not clear whether their milk is enough for the baby to eat. What are the main manifestations of insufficient breast milk at five months?

1. The baby's sucking condition. When the mother's milk secretion is insufficient, the baby usually cannot be heard swallowing when drinking milk. This is a more obvious symptom of insufficient breast milk.

2. The baby's metabolic frequency is getting lower and lower. Generally, when breast milk is insufficient, the baby's metabolism will undergo a major change. The frequency of excretion of a baby within one month will be reduced to less than 3 times. Mothers should pay great attention to this phenomenon.

3. The baby cries and makes a fuss while drinking milk. Parents should observe carefully. If the baby keeps crying and making a fuss while drinking milk, it means that the mother's milk is no longer enough and cannot provide the child with the required amount. At this time, the baby will cry and make a fuss to express that he is angry.

The baby is growing continuously, and the older he is, the more he will eat. If the mother has insufficient milk, she should adjust the feeding method of the baby in time. She can feed the baby with breast milk and formula milk. After the baby is one year old, she can wean him and then feed him with formula milk.
