How about weaning? When is it broken?

First of all, weaning should be a gradual process. If you add complementary food to your baby on time, you should be able to eat a considerable amount of food when your baby is about half a year old, and the mother should reduce the frequency of feeding to only once in the morning and once in the evening.

Secondly, it is necessary to choose the right weaning time according to the weather changes and the baby's physical condition. Weaning is best done in the cool autumn season, not in the hottest summer months. In summer, the weather is hot, and the baby is already prone to gastrointestinal disorders, and weaning at this time is more likely to aggravate this situation, and if it is not done well, it will get sick.

Third, we must pay attention to the balance of nutrition during the weaning period. Children grow and develop rapidly, and the demand for nutrients is also large, if you do not pay attention to the feeding method and suddenly wean, the child is not used to it, if there is insufficient nutrient intake, it is easy to cause malnutrition and digestive disorders. The amount of breastfeeding should be gradually reduced, and children should be trained to eat with spoons and bowls, and to be mindful of the type and firmness of the food they eat.

Pay attention to the above problems, and the baby will be able to pass the weaning period smoothly and safely.

When the baby is weaned, it is best to choose late spring or early summer, the temperature is relatively stable, and it is not too cold or too hot, so that the baby is easier to adapt. After weaning, it is best to replenish milk for a period of time. Nutrition has to keep up.

Weaning refers to the gradual end of an infant's dependence on breast milk or formula. Here are some weaning methods that may be useful:

1.Gradually reduce the number of breastfeedings to once a day until you stop completely.

2.Replace breastfeeding with a bottle or friend cup to allow your baby to adjust to the new feeding style.

3.Slowly replace breast milk or formula, mix them together, and gradually increase the proportion of formula until you are fully formula.

4.Distraction and try to avoid intimate contact with your baby or other behaviors that trigger the desire to breastfeed.

5.Avoid breastfeeding your baby when they have insomnia, and instead comfort them with other methods, such as hugging, shaking or singing. 6.Establish positive interactions with your baby to provide more attention and companionship to reduce their cravings for breastfeeding.

7.Involve other family members or caregivers in the feeding process so that your baby can gradually adjust to being fed by different people.

8.During the weaning process, maintain the flow of breast milk to avoid problems such as clogged mammary glands or mastitis.

9.If your baby refuses to use a bottle or cup, you can use an alternative such as a sippy cup or spoon.

10.With patience and perseverance, weaning is a process that takes time and effort, but ultimately benefits both the baby and the mother.

It's important to note that the weaning process varies depending on your baby's age, personality and feeding style, so it's important to tailor your plan to your baby's needs and responses. At the same time, there may be some problems during the weaning process, such as chest swelling and pain, emotional instability, etc., which need to be dealt with in time.

Best age for weaning: 1 year old.

Breast milk is the best food for babies. However, with the growth and development of the baby, after 4-6 months, the nutrients in breast milk can no longer fully meet the needs of the baby's growth, and appropriate complementary foods must be added at this time. In the initial stage of adding complementary foods, the calories provided by complementary foods account for about 10% of the calories provided by all foods. By the time the baby is 8 or 9 months old, the calories provided by complementary foods account for half of all food calories; For babies about 1 year old, the calories provided by complementary food have reached more than 60% of all food calories, and the appropriate conditions have been met for weaning the baby from breast milk.

Complementary foods should be added before weaning.

Be sure to add complementary foods before your baby is weaned. Preparation before weaning should start with practicing eating with a spoon, and try to feed the baby some juice, soup, etc. with a spoon for a week. If the baby's cheeks and tongue move the jaw and the baby can eat smoothly, we can start weaning gradually.

When weaning according to the weaning recipe, do not force feed the baby if he does not want to eat. Let your baby try to get used to eating other foods. After weaning, the baby's diet should be broken, soft and rotten as the principle, and feed nutritious, soft and easily digestible food, and do not give the baby spicy things.

Milk is an essential food for babies every day.

"Weaning" is not the same as "self-weaning".

Babies under the age of 1 will suddenly refuse to breastfeed without any obvious reason, which is often referred to as "breastfeeding", and "self-weaning" babies are over 1 year old. Mothers should learn to distinguish whether their children are "weaning" or ready to wean themselves, and not make the decision to "wean" lightly. In fact, the phenomenon of baby "breastfeeding" generally occurs after 4 months.

At this time, the baby's growth rate slows down significantly, and the need for nutrients is correspondingly reduced. This instinctive reduction in the amount of milk required is called the "physiological anorexia period". It usually lasts for about a week, and then as the amount of exercise increases and the consumption increases, the appetite will gradually improve, and the milk volume will return to normal.

Generally speaking, babies who are really ready to 'self-wean' are over 1 year old and have already eaten a lot of solid foods. Add more than 400 ml of formula milk to the day, and the nutrition can fully meet the needs of the baby, so you can rest assured that you can wean.

Psychology. Weaning should be done slowly, step by step, and it cannot be cut off at the same time. In the month before preparing to wean your baby, you can gradually reduce the number of times you feed your baby.

For example, I used to feed the baby three times during the day, but now I feed it twice and add milk powder once; After a day or two, change to only once during the day, and add milk powder twice; In a few days, it will be changed to feed all milk powder during the day and feed it yourself at night; After that, it was changed to feeding milk powder during the day and at night before going to bed, and feeding yourself at a meal in the middle of the night; Finally, all the milk powder is fed until the "melon is ripe" and the milk is completely weaned.

Novice mom raising baby 700 questions.

First take the milk out, and then slowly get used to it, and it's better to give him a pacifier to suck.

The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that mothers adhere to exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months, and continue to breastfeed from the age of 6 months while adding complementary foods, preferably until the age of 2 years. So it's important to be verbose: don't give up breastfeeding easily.

It can be seen that there is no exact timetable for weaning the baby, but it should be based on its own actual situation, and the baby will automatically wean off breast milk when it grows to a certain stage. If you can't hold on anymore, pick a suitable time to find a way to wean, usually between 9 months and 3 and a half years old. It is best to consider weaning when the baby is eating well complementary food.

Before the baby is one year old, if you can't continue to shed breast milk for work reasons, it is recommended that you wean yourself off daytime milk first and keep night milk. It is still necessary to keep night milk before the baby is one year old, at this stage many babies will still wake up in the middle of the night because of hunger or thirst, and the mother can breastfeed in time to make the baby fall asleep quickly, and both adults and children will be more relaxed. If your baby has never used a bottle to drink, it's a good idea to let your baby accept the bottle before deciding to wean.
