Actually, Marija had plenty of milk—in fact, she had too much breastmilk. Luca literally had to pull away to avoid choking, but he was in a pickle because he still wanted to suck. Once Marija began holding her nipple like a cigarette—holding her ring and middle fingers in a V shape starting behind the areola and pressing together—she was able to slow the flow of the milk, and Luca became an easy feeder again.
Some babies love milk so much, they overeat. They guzzle ounces at a feed—gulping down a lot of air at the same time—and then vomit it all up. Other babies gobble not out of gluttony, but out of self-protection. Overeating is a more common problem in early childhood than malnutrition; however, malnutrition is a more serious problem.
If you happen to overload the baby, make a point to comply with the signs of feeding the baby in the future. If the child moves away until the end of the bottle or before the usual time of breastfeeding ends, accept the fact that your little one is full. If you are concerned about your child overeating, talk to your pediatrician. The doctor will examine the length, weight, and development of the baby, but while the baby thrives, they will most likely eat very well.
Overeating of a child is very rare, but it can happen. It is more common in children who breastfeed from a bottle, simply because it is easier for parents to see the size of the food their newborn consumes. It also requires less effort to drink from the bottle, so that children who like to suck can inadvertently get a lot of milk during breastfeeding.
It is crucial that the child is healthy and happy in general. A child who fills up during breastfeeding will have longer breaks between sucking. A full child will move away from the breast or bottle and will not want to suck. Babies are generally born with the ability to suck, which is integrated within them as a reflex.
In such a case, if the bottle or the nipple has a higher flow rate or a larger hole, a baby will tend to drink in a large quantity of milk than needed, before he can stop the sucking reflex completely. The number one fallacy that most parents tend to fall for. Babies only know how to cry, no matter what they feel. But parents are usually geared to interpret that as a sign of being hungry. A child can usually engage in sucking activity and cry out purely because he is bored or tired.
If a parent chooses to feed the child every time he cries, there is a high chance that the little one is going to be overfed. Any instances of overfeeding are not without the symptoms that display its occurrence. Most of them can be recognised quite easily since they are meant to indicate that corrective action is being undertaken internally. Overfeeding causes an additional load on the stomach of the child along with the intestine and the entire digestive system. This leads the body to be irritated from within, which can manifest in an outward crankiness on the part of the child.
He would tend to be highly irritated than usual, as well as have trouble with sleep cycles. When a lot of milk is present in the body, the intestine cannot process all of it. This leads to large quantities of undigested food to remain within the intestine.
Farts tend to increase in quantity, and some babies might even experience cramps or spasms as a result of it. The large quantity of milk also causes the stomach to stretch beyond its usual capacity to house the food within it.
If a child has swallowed milk speedily, he also intakes a lot of air along with it. In such a case, a burp can morph into a belch and throw up some milk along with it.
Infants do show some strong signs in such cases, which are necessary for a mom to be aware of. While hunger can be a strong reason to wake up a child from a deep slumber, overfeeding can also be a cause behind it. Most mothers are ecstatic on seeing their children put on weight. But if they put on a lot of weight, it may not be good for their health. The consequences adults face in having a large meal are quite similar to what babies face as well.
Their stomach can feel bloated, cramps can ensue, and some babies can even have diarrhoea as a result of overfeeding. Mothers can worsen it by feeding the child, even more, when he cries due to stomach pain. Was your baby quite energetic and loud earlier but now seems to have fallen into a sluggish zone? Drinking more milk in fact results in low energy in babies, leading them to be lethargic all the time.

Overfeeding a baby often causes the baby discomfort because he or she can't digest all of the breast milk or formula properly. When fed too much, a baby may also swallow air, which can produce gas, increase discomfort in the belly, and lead to crying. An overfed baby also may spit up more than usual and have loose stools. Although crying from discomfort is not colic , it can make crying more frequent and more intense in an already colicky baby. Babies give cues during feeding that indicate how hungry they are.
