Second: the sense of hunger comes from the emptying of the stomach. For example, adults have experienced excessive hunger. During the process from fullness to emptying of the stomach, people will feel hungry. When the stomach is full, and after emptying, they will lose this feeling. Therefore, if the baby is not fed with milk powder, he will not feel "hungry". He will stimulate his mother to lactate through constant sucking, Then let mother's milk meet his needs.

Third: the baby's sucking reflex is the strongest 10-30 minutes after birth. This is the best time to open the milk. After 1 hour, the baby will turn into the inhibition period and basically sleep, so it won't feel hungry.
