Now it's spring, which is the best golden time for weaning. If the mothers have a situation of milk inflation after weaning, they can use the aid of the sucking device to squeeze out the milk and relieve the pain by hot or cold compress. Mothers should choose the spring and autumn time when weaning their babies. They should not wean in summer, which will cause discomfort to their babies.
How many days does it take to wean
How long it takes to wean depends on your baby's mood and physical condition. If the mother is well prepared, she and the baby can also adapt, and the time for weaning is ripe, then the mother can wean the baby quickly.
Fast weaning is the fastest way to wean a baby from breast milk in less than a week. Especially with objective factors, for example, the mother must go on a business trip for a period of time, so it is likely that the baby will be completely weaned a few days after the mother leaves. If Mom stops sucking after work, her daytime milk will soon be broken.
If the baby is highly dependent on breast milk, rapid weaning may make the baby uncomfortable, and the mother attaches great importance to breast-feeding, every day with the baby, sudden weaning may bring loss to both mother and child, at this time, the mother needs to take the method of gradual weaning.
The sequential weaning method is from feeding breast milk 6 times a day, first reduced to 5 times a day, after the mother and the baby are adapted, then gradually reduced, until the complete weaning of breast milk. At the same time of gradually reducing breast milk, formula milk or porridge should be fed to the baby instead, and some soft and rotten food should be given to the baby. The main food can be soft rice, rotten noodles, rice porridge, small wonton, etc., and the non-staple food can be minced meat, chopped vegetables and egg soup, etc., so that the baby can slowly adapt to other food.
The fastest way to wean gradually also takes a week. Some babies may even spend months with their mothers to wean successfully.
