What are causes of constipation? Eating too much. Overeating causes back-up in the gut. Eating very large meals or just eating a lot in general overtaxes the digestive tract.
How can you tell if your baby is overfed?
Watch out for these common signs of overfeeding a baby:
- Gassiness or burping.
- Frequent spit up.
- Vomiting after eating.
- Fussiness, irritability or crying after meals.
- Gagging or choking.
What happens if we overfeed a baby?
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.
