Reasons for weaning babies at the right months

In fact, in daily life, many newborns grow up in the love of their parents. In this case, when it is time to wean their babies, parents will be reluctant to do so. Seeing their babies crying so sadly, they will feel bad. In fact, this will harm their children. To a certain extent, the quality of their milk will decline. Let us now understand the reasons why it is appropriate to wean babies at such a few months.

main reason:

Generally speaking, babies can be completely weaned at 8 months, and the number of breastfeeding sessions can be gradually reduced and replaced with complementary foods. Try to make the best connection to facilitate the baby's physical and psychological adaptation. Pay attention to the weaning season: The best season for weaning is spring and autumn, when the temperature is neither too high nor too low, and avoid weaning in summer. The following are some tips to help your baby wean: *Gradually extend the interval between breastfeedings: If your baby drinks milk every two hours, you can gradually extend it to every three or four hours, or replace it with other foods. In this way, the number of times the baby drinks breast milk can be gradually reduced, and the mother's milk supply will also decrease because the baby drinks less. *Change your baby's milk-drinking habits: Babies will have a ritualistic need to drink milk, and this habit of drinking milk can be eliminated first. For example: the baby is used to drinking breast milk when he wakes up in the morning, and must finish drinking breast milk before going to bed at noon. Then mommy can change herself so that the baby cannot maintain these habits. For example, the mother can get up earlier than the baby so that the baby cannot drink milk directly in bed; at noon, the baby can go to the park to play and go home to sleep when he is tired. In short, try to prevent your baby from being in a situation where he wants to drink breast milk. *The habit of drinking milk before going to bed can be changed last: For babies who are used to drinking breast milk before going to bed at night, this action represents the intimacy between him and his mother. Breastfeeding can also make the baby stop crying and has a soothing effect, so this meal can be left for the last. * Accompany your baby in other ways: Some babies drink breast milk when their mothers are unable to play with them and they feel bored. If mothers encounter such a situation, they can try to put down what they are doing, play with the baby more, or do other interesting things so that the baby will not feel bored and want to drink milk. * Make it difficult for the baby to drink breast milk: For example, the mother can wear tighter clothes to make it difficult for the baby to lift the clothes and drink breast milk. *Play games with babies: Some mothers will agree with their babies to feed breast milk only every two days, or to stop feeding breast milk after the baby is three years old. When babies play this game seriously, they will gradually be weaned. Gradually reduce the number of feedings, the mother's milk will gradually decrease, and when the baby is really weaned, the mother will not be troubled by breast engorgement.

There is no strict rule on the weaning age. If the mother has a lot of milk, the baby can be fed for a longer period of time. Generally, the baby will be weaned at around 1 year old. If the breast milk is low, but the child is willing to eat milk or other foods at the same time, he can eat for a longer period of time. If the breast milk is low and the child is unwilling to eat dairy products and other foods, weaning should be done earlier, and it can be done as early as 6 months.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the reasons why it is appropriate to wean babies at a few months. I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding. The weaning process is very painful for children and they will cry frequently, but they still have to start weaning at a certain time.
