What should I do if my two-month-old baby doesn't like breastfeeding?
Two-month-old babies do not like to breastfeed because of physiological or pathological anorexia. Most babies are physiologically tired of breastfeeding. Doctors generally believe that physiological breastfeeding does not require treatment and will heal on its own after a period of time. However, if you see that the baby's milk supply is not enough every day, when it comes to feeding, the baby's small head starts to sway from side to side, his eyes start to look around, and he refuses to continue feeding; "Marathon", in this case parents can take the following measures.
1. If possible, it is best to have only mother and baby in the room when breastfeeding. Families that usually have many people playing with their babies can temporarily avoid other people when the baby is breastfeeding.
2. The light in the small environment for breastfeeding can be darker, preferably without the interference of noisy sounds.
3. For individual super sensitive babies, you can temporarily unplug the phone line and turn off the mobile phone during breastfeeding.
4. Timely adjust the baby's breastfeeding mood: Do not let the baby do strenuous exercise for a period of time before breastfeeding. For babies who are feeding on a schedule, it is best to let the frantic baby slowly quiet down half an hour before each feeding, so that the baby is more engaged during feedings.
5. Choose a breastfeeding position that is comfortable for your baby but with limited hands and feet: A comfortable and limited position can make your baby feel safe.

6. The mother's emotions should be relaxed. If the mother is nervous and anxious, the baby will feel it, and thus will feel the tension, which will affect breastfeeding.

A two-month-old baby's milk supply.
1. From the first month to two months, gradually increase the amount of milk according to the body weight, feed 6-7 times a day, every 3.5-4 hours, and eat about 80-120 ml per meal, with a maximum of 150 ml.
2. From two to three months, feed 5-6 times a day, once every 4 hours, and eat 150-200 ml of milk each time.
3. Generally speaking, the stomach capacity of newborns is small (30-35ml for newborns, 100ml for 3 months, 200ml for 6 months, 300-500ml for 1 year old), and the amount of gastric juice secreted is small. Gastric emptying time varies with the type and nature of the food, 2-3 hours for breastfeeding, 3-4 hours for milk, and 1-2 hours for water.
4. In the first few days after the baby is born, the amount of milk can be calculated according to the weight of the baby per kilogram, 100-200 ml per day, because milk is not easy to digest, the ratio of water supply can be 4:1, 3:1, 3:2, 2 :1, 1:1. For example, two milks and one water are 300 (360) ml of milk + 150 (160) ml of water, the total amount is 450-480 ml, take 7-8 times, 60-70 ml per meal. 60-70ml per meal. Add 5% sugar to milk, increasing by this ratio in the fifth and sixth month. From 15 days to term, if the baby's digestive function is normal, you can eat pure milk, about 100-150 ml per kilogram of body weight, and about 60-100 ml per meal.
