What should I do if my baby cries at night after weaning?

It is very difficult to wean a breastfeeding baby, because the baby will often cry during the weaning period, and the crying does not distinguish between day and night. Crying at night will not only affect the sleep quality of adults, but also be detrimental to the baby's physical development. In order to alleviate the crying of the baby, many mothers will repeatedly feed the baby. This practice is wrong. So what should I do if the child cries at night after weaning?

First, what should you do if your child cries at night after weaning? The child has not yet fully adapted to weaning because he is very active during the day and forgets about it when he plays. He still relies on breast milk at night, so crying is normal. It is recommended that the mother should take good care of the child during this period. After a period of time, the child will gradually forget about it. Try to divert your child's attention as much as possible, and coax him to sleep when he really wants to sleep. This way he will fall asleep faster. The prerequisite for weaning a child is that the child must eat complementary foods well (the child must be full, and the child must be willing to eat complementary foods). You cannot wean the child blindly, as the child will not be able to bear it and the parents will feel distressed. Children should learn to eat from bottles and drink formula and milk. It is best not to sleep with your mother in the first few days after weaning. Let the person your child is closest to take care of the child at night; this will also reduce the child's crying.

Second, do not wean your baby in the summer because the weather is hot in summer and the gastrointestinal digestive function is weakened. If you add too much complementary food to your child after weaning, it will easily cause indigestion or even gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. It is generally best to wean babies in spring and autumn. Do not wean your child when he or she is sick because the child's resistance to disease is poor, digestive function is poor, and the body is very weak. If you wean your child at this time, it will inevitably affect the recovery of the body and even aggravate the condition.

What should you do if your child cries at night after weaning? Be sure to isolate him from his mother. Remember: if you want to wean your baby, don't hesitate or look back. After weaning, do not feed your child just because he cries. The consequence is that children are prone to "milk tuberculosis", which is very harmful to them. If the child cries loudly, the father or other relatives can comfort and coax him.
