The best way to wean your baby from night milk

The best way to wean your baby from night milk: First, adjust the feeding time. Postpone your baby’s nighttime feedings to 3-4 a.m. as much as possible, and schedule a feeding at 11 p.m. This practice needs to be carried out gradually, each time postponed in about half an hour, when the baby can eat milk at 4-5 o’clock in the morning, and then gradually advance the first half of the night to 10 o’clock, or even 9 o’clock, so as to stop the baby from eating night milk. Second, train your baby to sleep in a crib. Many babies who love night milk are in bed with their mothers, and as soon as the child cries at night, the mother directly stuffs the nipple, and over time the child becomes obsessed with the mother’s smell and body heat, rather than the real physical hunger. To wean yourself off night milk, you need to sleep in a separate bed from your baby. Third, eat more supplements before bedtime. Adding complementary foods that can produce a feeling of satiety, such as rice flour and milk powder, an hour before bedtime will help reduce your baby’s hunger during sleep. In addition, you can appropriately extend the interval between feeding during the day and increase the amount of formula according to your baby’s individual situation, increasing the amount of milk and extending the interval between feeding in a two-pronged way. In addition, it is also a good choice to take milk powder directly. Fourth, the mother and the baby keep a certain distance. The baby is also dependent on the smell of the mother’s body. The mother should wash and change her clothes regularly to reduce the smell of her body. At the same time, in the case of not affecting the baby’s emotions, appropriate distance from the baby is also needed. Fifth, gradually reduce the milk method. Gradually reduce the amount of milk feeding at night. If the usual amount of milk feeding at night is around 180ml, you can reduce 20-30ml every night, and over time you can gradually stop the night milk. If you are breastfeeding, shorten the feeding time each time, and after the milk is finished, if your baby still wakes up during the night, you can use your hands to comfortingly touch him/her and not to feed him/her again, as this is not necessarily a sign of hunger.
