March and April are the golden time for weaning. Many mothers choose to wean their babies at this time. After weaning, they want to replace their babies with formula milk. This is not an easy thing. It's easy for them to resist. And a lot of babies do not eat breast milk after weaning, so what about not eating milk powder after weaning?
If you want your baby to eat milk powder after weaning, your mother must do these works before weaning:
1. Let the baby first adapt to bottle feeding
Before breaking the breast milk, you can squeeze the breast milk into the milk bottle first, so that the baby can drink it with the bottle for a period of time, so that when the mother changes the breast milk in the bottle into milk powder, the baby may be more receptive.
2. Choose a breast-feeding nipple for your baby
After breaking the breast milk, the baby will refuse to drink milk powder many times because the nipple is too hard or cold, so choose a nipple similar to the breast milk texture for the baby, so the baby will be easier to pass this period.
3. Choose the right time to wean
If the baby is just sick, teething and other states, it is recommended not to wean first, because weaning at this time will increase the baby's anxiety and increase the difficulty of weaning.
4. Let the baby adapt to the taste of different foods
Make the complementary food more diversified, so that the baby can adapt to different tastes of food, so that he can adapt to the food other than breast milk better, and the acceptance of formula will be higher.
In addition, in addition to the preparation of the taste of the props above, there are some small things that can help the baby to accept the formula more quickly.
5. Give the baby enough sense of security
It is not recommended to use the method of parent-child isolation. It may be that you can wean your baby quickly, but it will hurt your baby's heart.
On the contrary, during the weaning period, if the baby gets enough attention and company, weaning in a relaxed and pleasant state will be easier to receive formula feeding.
6. Extend the interval between meals
In fact, in order to make the baby feel hungry, it is necessary to extend the interval between meals. During this period of time, play games with the baby, and give the baby less snacks. If the baby feels hungry, he will be more willing to eat formula milk powder.
7. Create a quiet environment for baby to drink milk
Before feeding, turn off the TV and don't let the baby play with toys. Hold the baby in your arms and explain to him why you can't drink mother's milk and drink milk powder. You can also talk to him and feed him slowly.
