Weaning is a big turning point in baby's life. During weaning, the baby's psychological development will also be greatly affected. How old is breast milk best? Let's have a look
1) From birth to 6 months, if the milk is sufficient, pure breastfeeding must be carried out; during this period, breastfeeding can improve the immunity of the baby, promote the digestion and absorption of the baby, and help the mother's health, reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and breast cancer.
2) Six months later, half breast-feeding. Baby 6 months later can let the baby eat while feeding, and gradually increase complementary food, with the passage of time, slowly reduce the number of feeding.
3) The baby can be weaned in 10-12 months. Weaning at this time is the most appropriate, because as the baby grows older, if it is not weaned for a long time, it will aggravate the baby's love for milk psychology, unwilling to eat and eat complementary food, which will affect the growth and development, and even cause malnutrition of the baby.
Misunderstanding of weaning 1: the later weaning, the better
Some children do not wean until they are two or three years old. In fact, this practice is not conducive to the growth of children. Weaning is not the later the better. With the growth of the baby's age, the body needs a variety of nutrients, breast milk has not been able to meet the needs of the baby's growth and development, late weaning children are often thin and sickly, with poor resistance.
Myth 2: milk is not nutritious
Many old people have this idea that there is no nutrition in dilute milk water. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Milk water is divided into pre milk and post milk. The pre milk is lighter, so it looks thin, but not without nutrition.
Myth 3: weaning regardless of season
Weaning in spring and autumn is the best, not suitable in winter and summer. It is cold in winter, and the baby has poor resistance and is easy to catch cold and fever. In summer, the weather is hot and the temperature is high. Weaning the baby, if you don't pay attention to it, is easy to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases.
