What is baby milk fat:
Infant milk fat refers to the obesity of the exclusively breastfed baby, which is usually manifested in the baby's chubby body. Many people think that the baby's milk fat is cute, indicating that the quality of the mother's milk is good.
Causes of infant milk fat:
Cause 1: Overfeeding
Breastfed infants are fed on demand. Babies can be fed when they are hungry, not as strict as formula milk. Sometimes babies cry, but new mothers are inexperienced. They think babies are hungry when they cry, so they pick them up and feed them. After the baby eats a lot of milk, the body will have excess nutrients, and the weight will naturally increase rapidly!
Reason 2: Lack of exercise
Babies under 3 months are mainly lying down, and the amount of exercise at this stage is still relatively small. If you breastfeed too much and your baby doesn't exercise much, fat will accumulate day by day and your baby will gain weight.
Cause 3: Overnutrition
Some mothers try their best to supplement their babies with enough milk during confinement. This can lead to overnutrition in the mother and overnutrition in breast milk. If your baby eats such milk, weight gain is inevitable.

We should create a relatively comfortable environment for the baby to sleep, such as an absolutely quiet environment, do not turn on the lights when the baby sleeps, etc.!
