How many months is it best to wean a baby?

Nowadays, many babies have a very difficult time during the weaning period, crying and making a fuss.

But the child cannot stop breastfeeding after growing up, so today I will introduce to you how many months it is better to wean the child, and what should you pay attention to when weaning?

It is best to wean your baby when he is about one year old. The immunity of breast milk lasts for about six months. After six months, the immunity will be significantly reduced. How to wean your baby off breast milk?

Weaning requires a process, allowing the baby to gradually adapt, so that scientific weaning can be achieved. Despite all the difficulties, weaning is something that mothers must accomplish. During the weaning process, babies will become irritable and cry, and it is difficult for mothers to tolerate their babies' crying. Therefore, weaning is not an easy and pleasant thing for mother and baby. Improper weaning can affect the baby's health. If weaning is too early and the protein and energy needed by the baby cannot be replenished in time, malnutrition can easily occur and increase the chance of illness in children. Therefore, mothers must master the correct weaning method. It is best to do it slowly to allow the baby to have a period of adaptation. Mothers should not suddenly stop breastfeeding in the middle of the period. First, add complementary foods to the baby in a timely manner, and gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding times by adding other foods. When you start weaning, feed your baby breast milk once less each day and replace it with other complementary foods. After a few days, reduce the number of feedings until you finally wean. Or let the mother leave the child temporarily for one or two days to allow the child to gradually get used to it. When replacing breast milk, you should start with a small amount to allow the child to fully adapt and endure the process both psychologically and in terms of digestive function, and try to let the child give up breast milk naturally. There are many unscientific weaning methods in life, such as forced separation of mother and child. Cutting off contact, or applying medicine, chili water, coptis water, etc. on the nipples to scare the child and force the child not to eat breast milk, these methods are negative stimulation to the child's mind and spirit and are not advisable.

Correct, you can do it as follows:

1) Be fully prepared and wean gradually: Weaning is not only an important change in baby's living habits, but also a psychological transition. Mothers should be fully prepared for this and not be soft-hearted just because their children are crying, otherwise it will affect the health of the children. But weaning cannot be done all at once. It should be done in a planned way to give the child a period of adaptation.

2) Gradually increasing the amount of milk substitutes (milk powder) and complementary foods will lay a good foundation for smooth weaning and enable the baby to slowly adapt to a variety of different foods.
