How to wean a baby who loves milk

Weaning is a very important thing for both babies and mothers, especially for babies. Weaning is a very painful thing. So when mothers are ready to wean their babies, they must be prepared so that weaning does not affect the growth of the baby. Many mothers do not handle the weaning of their babies properly, which causes the babies to get sick during weaning.

It is relatively difficult to wean during the milk-attachment period. It should be done gradually instead of suddenly, as the child may not be able to accept it. If the child is over 4 months old, you can gradually add complementary foods and reduce the number of breastfeeding times. If you used to breastfeed 8 times a day, you can reduce it to 7 times a week and add complementary foods once. If the child adapts well, you can reduce it to 5 times the next week and gradually wean the baby from breastfeeding.

1. Don’t wean your baby in the summer.

Because the weather is hot in summer and the gastrointestinal digestive function is weakened, if too much complementary food is added to the child after weaning, it can easily cause indigestion or even gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. It is generally best to wean babies in spring and autumn.

2. Do not wean your baby while he is sick.

Because the baby has poor resistance to illness, poor digestive function, and is very weak, if you wean the baby at this time, it will inevitably affect the body's recovery and even aggravate the condition.

3. Strengthen care during weaning.

During the baby's weaning period, you need to strengthen care and pay attention to whether the baby's bowel movements are normal and whether the baby has lost weight. If you find any abnormalities, you must deal with them in time and not leave them alone.

Separating the baby suddenly from the mother, or applying substances such as pepper, ink, mercurochrome, gentian violet, or coptis water on the mother's nipples will not only make the baby depressed and difficult to adapt psychologically, but will also have a negative impact on the baby's physical health.

5. Weaning should be scientific

It is more difficult to wean children who are addicted to milk. Children who are addicted to milk can try the above weaning methods, which may be helpful to everyone. During weaning, be sure to choose good milk powder for your baby. Current formula milk powders are very suitable for babies. To wean the baby, the mother needs to be patient, use scientific methods, and be ruthless. If she is a little bit reluctant, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
