Most breastfed babies have the habit of eating night milk, and many mothers are troubled by their babies’ night milk. From a professional point of view, babies actually don’t need that much night milk, so how do you solve the habit of being spoiled with night milk? The following is a list of frequently asked questions about nighttime feeding, so that I can tell you how to get rid of the little devil of “baby night milk”. How old can babies be weaned from night milk? Many babies have the habit of breastfeeding at night, which is a natural habit from the newborn period. For newborns, we need to follow the principle of feeding on demand, and generally speaking, as long as the baby is hungry, we should give him food, regardless of day and night. However, when the baby reaches 6 months of age, it slowly begins to add complementary foods. At this time, babies need more and more nutrients, not only from breast milk and formula, but also from a variety of complementary foods. In addition, with the addition of various purees, meats, rice flour and rice, babies will not be as hungry. So, from this time onwards, mothers can wean their babies from night milk. What to do to satisfy baby’s needs? 1. How to meet baby’s sucking needs Mom should fully meet baby’s sucking needs during the day. Encourage your baby to eat hands, feet, and toys, and provide more items that can meet your baby’s sucking needs, so that your baby’s sucking becomes interesting and more diverse in taste. When your baby wakes up in the middle of the night, you can assist him to put his little hand in his mouth so that he can satisfy his sucking needs and soothe himself. 2. How to meet baby’s soothing needs Mom helps baby to accept more soothing ways other than breastfeeding, such as gently stroking, hugging, humming, etc. In the case of a newborn baby, it usually doesn’t take much experimentation for them to readily accept new soothing modalities. As the baby gets older, it becomes more difficult for him/her to accept new soothing modalities. But even if there is some difficulty, it is still worth the effort to encourage babies to learn and master self-soothing compared to their over-reliance on nursing for soothing. Mothers can encourage their babies to play with their little hands, hug a soft towel, etc. 3. How to meet your baby’s need for satiety Many people believe that babies need nighttime milk because they don’t eat enough food for dinner. Generally speaking, dinner time is best set an hour and a half before your baby goes to bed. Making dinner requires you to be more attentive and make something that your baby usually loves to eat to keep him full. If your baby is a small eater, try having a small snack about an hour before bedtime. If your baby must drink milk to go to sleep, it is recommended that you first delay his last milk before bedtime until about 10 to 11 pm so that he can drink his fill. In addition, you can extend the interval between breastfeeding 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 breastfeeding in a two-pronged way. I think weaning is not as scary as it is said to be, children are actually stronger than their mothers! My experience is the following: 1. The first few nights, you should find someone your child likes to sleep with. It’s best to let your husband or an elderly person your child usually likes to sleep with, because we live by ourselves, the elderly are old, and your son usually likes your husband, so your husband is the right person. Especially the first night, must let the child do not see the mother, or give him hope will endlessly cry, I feel, instead, the husband took him to another room to see that the mother is not there, only to go back to sleep. 2, the daytime mom around with my own feeling weaning will affect the child’s sense of security (the little treasure in the third day began to stick to me), so he must let him see his mother during the day, mom more play with him. For the first three nights, I didn’t let him see his mom when he went to bed, but I stayed with my baby the rest of the time. 3, take him out to play during the day, distracted We go out three times a day, the child is very happy outside, pay attention to is not to let the child tired, more hugs less walking. The more you play outside, the better you sleep at night, from April 29th onwards little baby sleeps all night.
