How to wean correctly

Weaning should be a gradual and natural transition. The timing and manner of weaning depends on many factors. Each mother and child feels differently about weaning, and the method chosen varies from person to person. First, if you are well prepared, you and your baby can gradually adapt and the time is ripe for weaning, so you can wean your child completely. Second, reduce your dependence on mom. Before weaning, you should consciously reduce the time mom and baby spend together, and increase the time dad spends looking after the baby, so that the child has a psychological adaptation process, so that the baby understands that dad will take care of her as well, and gradually reduce the dependence on mom. The third is to train your baby’s good behavioral habits. Before and after weaning, it is necessary for the mother to hug the child and give more comfort, but do not easily accommodate the baby’s unreasonable requests, and do not develop bad habits because of the accommodation of weaning. Fourth, eat less breast milk and more milk. When you start weaning, you can give your child some formula milk every day, you can also drink fresh pure milk, try to encourage your child to drink milk, but as long as he wants to drink breast milk, the mother should not refuse, you can also do some supplementary food for your baby. Fifth, weaning, bedtime feeding and night milk. Most babies have the habit of breastfeeding in the middle of the night, or before going to bed at night. I’m afraid the most difficult thing to wean off is the habit of breastfeeding before going to bed and in the middle of the night. You can wean your baby off night milk first and then break the bad habit of eating milk before bedtime. You need the active cooperation of your father and family. In addition, during the weaning period, you should let your child learn to drink water, juice and rice from a cup, learn to eat with a small spoon, and exercise your baby’s ability to take care of himself. The above is for reference only, and the specific method can follow the doctor’s instruction.
