What is the reason of baby growth retardation?

Some mothers are told that feeding once every three or four hours is enough; There are also some mothers mistakenly think that the baby should be fed on time, artificially set the baby's feeding time; And a very small number of babies are born more quiet and sleepy, not very actively sucking. Newborns should be fed an average of 10 to 12 times every 24 hours. Some babies don't have to eat so often, while others need more frequent breastfeeding to grow. If the baby's daily feeding frequency is less than 10 times and the weight growth is slow, the mother should take measures to increase the feeding frequency, so as to increase the baby's nutrient intake and milk secretion.

Caloric intake is insufficient. Although some mothers have enough milk, they do not get high-fat, high calorie "aftermilk" because the baby does not suck for long enough. Even if the amount of urine is normal and the development is good, they will still gain weight slowly. Sometimes it's because the mother mistakenly thinks that the baby should artificially limit the sucking time of each breast; In some cases, it's because the baby falls asleep with milk. For the former case, the mother should try to let the baby suck for a long time, let the baby decide when to eat enough, eat empty side and then change to the other side. For the latter case, the mother can take some measures to wake up the baby to continue feeding. For example, let the baby enjoy sucking, when drowsiness comes to the other side to feed; You can also change diapers when your baby is about to fall asleep to wake up your child.

Family factors, the warmth of the family, the care of relatives and good role models have a profound impact on the formation of the baby's character and morality, emotional stability and intellectual development.
