Weaning is a process that every baby has to go through. For a baby, the process of sucking is also an opportunity to have close contact with his mother. Most babies are breastfed after birth. They start to add complementary food in 4-6 months. They need to stop breastfeeding after a certain age, and gradually transition to baby food. So how to let the baby not cry when weaning?
1. Step by step
When weaning the baby, the mother must not suddenly wean the baby. It should be planned and carried out step by step. At 4-6 months, add complementary food to the baby on time. The baby can transition to 3 meals and 2-3 times of breast milk every day at the age of one year, and then gradually reduce the time and times of breast milk feeding. In addition to breast milk, there are many delicious things for the baby to eat. The step-by-step method will not cause the baby discomfort due to the sudden change of feeding mode, nor will it cause the baby dyspepsia due to the sudden change of food.
2. Don't let your baby not breastfeed
With the rich food, many young people will forget to eat breast milk after they are full. Sometimes they will eat one meal a day. At this time, the mother should remember not to feel the baby eat less and actively breastfeed.
3. Shorten lactation time
In addition to not actively breastfeeding your baby, your mother should also pay attention to shortening the time even if you are breastfeeding your baby. When the baby does not eat enough, the mother can use interesting things to distract the baby's attention.
Tips
Mother's breast-feeding is best carried out until one year old, if it does not affect the baby to add complementary food, the time can be longer. On the contrary, if the baby loves breast milk excessively and refuses to eat complementary food and solid food, the weaning time can be slightly earlier.
