Spring is not only a good season for recovery and baby’s growth, but also a good time to wean your baby. Why is spring suitable for weaning? Spring and autumn are both suitable seasons for weaning. The summer temperature is too high, which can easily induce intestinal diseases, and the baby will have no appetite because of the high temperature; while the winter temperature is too low, which makes the baby wake up frequently at night and sleep poorly when weaning, and it is inconvenient for the mother to deal with the situation of milk increase or overflow. But when to wean is not based on the season, but on the actual growth and development of the baby, do not wean your baby because spring is suitable for weaning. The World Health Organization and the Nutrition Society of China recommend breastfeeding until 2 weeks of age or natural weaning if conditions allow, but you can consider weaning your baby when he or she has the following behaviors 1. Very frequent night milking. If your baby’s night milk has seriously affected the quality of your baby’s sleep, then advise your mothers that sleeping is more important than eating milk at this time! Important! It is important! 2.Lack of concentration when breastfeeding, gradually not interested in breast milk, always in various positions to eat and stop, eating milk is more like for addiction rather than full. 3.The types of complementary foods are almost all included, and there are many complementary foods that can be eaten, and most of them are solid foods. 4.Accept bottles or water cups, and are willing to eat formula or other dairy products that can replace breast milk. How can I wean my baby? If your baby has been weaned from night milk, then congratulations to all moms, your job will be easier. It’s a great spring day, take your baby outdoors more often during the day and participate in some colorful games to divert your baby’s attention from always thinking about mommy’s neinei. slowly start to gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding and give your baby formula milk in a bottle or water cup (babies over one year old can drink whole, plain milk.) The process must be slow, do not rush, give the baby a process of adaptation. At this stage some babies have stopped eating night milk, but because of weaning they start eating night milk again, this is also because babies are attached to their mothers and need to be comforted by eating milk. If the baby is not weaned or even needs milk to sleep, then the mother may have a hard time with other things and activities to attract the baby’s attention during the day and will be especially dependent on the mother at night. At this time it is necessary for the baby’s father to come on the scene, at night if the baby wakes up at night to gradually reduce the number of feedings, pat the baby to put the baby to sleep, slowly by the baby’s father to participate. For older babies, you can reason with him and tell him that only small babies need to eat milk and that babies have grown up. Slowly change the habit of sleeping with milk. The process of weaning precautions 1, do not leave the mother to leave the baby Some elderly people say that when weaning let the mother go out to live, or the baby received to the elderly home, this practice is very much not recommended. This is not recommended because babies in the weaning period are more sensitive and need more love from their mothers. According to La Leche League International, weaning children need more love and physical comfort from their mothers. Mothers can hug and caress their babies, play games that interest them, eat with them, put them to sleep, etc. to communicate with them emotionally and soothe their babies’ anxiety, so as to compensate for the loss of mother’s love due to the loss of breast milk. Therefore, do not leave your baby for quick weaning. Some mothers decide to wean their babies after seeing their babies crying, and then give them breast milk. This repeatedly has a great impact on the baby and can cause emotional instability, night crying, lack of love for food, and even the potential for mental illness. Note that the firmness here does not mean suddenly weaning the baby off the breast milk, but that the baby should be given a process of adaptation, starting from reducing the breast milk, slowly over to stop the breast milk, and once stopped do not give the baby a kiss feed again. 3. Do not wean your baby during unstable emotions or special periods. Weaning your baby during illness, teething, changing long-term caregivers, or separation anxiety is not suitable, and will make weaning more difficult and easy to repeat. 4. After weaning, if your baby has a poor appetite and refuses to eat formula or other dairy products, don’t force your baby to eat. Some mothers ask, “Do you still need to wean your baby from residual milk? Some mothers will slowly stop lactating after their babies stop suckling and their mammary glands will slowly return to a non-lactating state. The residual milk left in the mammary glands will be absorbed by the body. If you still have painful overflowing milk, you can drain it by hand, but don’t empty it completely, as long as it doesn’t hurt, it will slowly stop lactating. However, it is still recommended that all mothers go to the hospital for regular breast examinations every year to reduce the risk of breast disease.
