A few of the most important mistakes that mothers should avoid when weaning their babies

The following is a compilation of content related to weaning your baby, the correct way to wean, common misconceptions, and recipes for your baby after weaning are all together and shared with you. The best time to wean your baby is in the late spring or autumn. Because of the hot weather in summer, the baby’s digestive function is weakened and it is easy for indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea to occur because of the discomfort with food. In winter, the weather is cold, so your baby will not sleep well at night and will easily catch a cold when weaning. 2.Preparation before weaning Timely addition of complementary foods When the baby is 6 months old, the mother should add complementary foods to the baby, and then gradually transition from liquid food, semi-liquid food to solid food, so that the baby can gradually accept other foods. And mom should also let baby gradually develop the habit of eating with a spoon, cup, bottle, bowl, etc., so that baby can have a full adaptation process psychologically and digestive function. Increase the time between baby and dad Before weaning, you should consciously reduce the time mom and baby spend together and increase the time family members spend caring for baby. Dad should play more with the baby and play games with him, so that he can feel happy even if mom is not around, to give the baby a psychological adaptation process and reduce the dependence on mom. 3, common misconceptions about weaning Repeated delays When weaning a baby, some mothers can’t bear to see the baby crying and giving him milk, and then break it after two days, and the baby cries and feeds again, so repeatedly, both delaying the weaning time and bringing bad psychological hints to the baby, which can use crying as a weapon to blackmail the mother. Apply cayenne pepper, allantoin, and yellow lily on the nipple This will hurt the baby’s oral mucosa, and the baby will cry more than once because of being forcibly weaned, creating fear and anxiety in the baby’s heart, and eventually the baby will give himself a little comfort by sucking his fingers, chewing on the corner of the quilt or the mother’s clothes. Mom plays disappear Some families believe that the biggest enemy of baby weaning is the mother. As long as the mother is around, the baby will keep pouting for breast milk. As long as the mother is separated from the baby for a few days, the baby will naturally quit breast milk. In fact, babies need the comfort of their mothers during the weaning period. The sudden “disappearance” of the mother will make the baby feel insecure, more anxious and anxious, and even sick and thin. The correct way to wean your baby is to gradually reduce the number of times you wean your baby. For example, if you breastfeed your baby 6 times a day, reduce it to 5 times a day, and then gradually reduce it until you completely wean your baby from breast milk. Wean your baby first during the day and then at night. There are many things to attract your baby during the day and they don’t particularly care about their mother, but at night they will be particularly dependent on her. Therefore, when weaning your baby, it is best to wean him/her from daytime milk first. When your baby is in good health, your baby’s body needs to adapt to the weaning process and its resistance may be slightly reduced during this period. 5. How to relieve milk bloating when weaning First of all, the mother should stop drinking a lot of soup-like food, reduce nutrition, and forbid eating chicken stew and meat stew. If the mother is not seriously distended, try to squeeze the milk as little as possible or not to squeeze it. When the distention is serious, you can squeeze out some milk to prevent mastitis, but just make your breasts feel comfortable, and never squeeze them empty to avoid stimulating the mammary glands to secrete more milk. Appropriate cold compresses can also help to withdraw milk. If you have a lot of milk and your breasts are really swollen and full, you can drink some malt tea to restore milk.
