What is the method of weaning from breast milk?

If you are planning to wean your baby, parents should first take him to a health care doctor for a comprehensive physical examination. Only when the baby is in good physical condition and has normal digestive ability can he be weaned. If your baby reaches weaning age, but he is sick, teething, or has a new nanny, moves, travels, or the mother has to go to work, it is best not to wean your baby yet, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of weaning.

Usually, babies have the foundation for weaning at 10-12 months old, because they gradually adapt to foods other than breast milk. In addition, at 9-10 months old, babies have grown several incisors, the digestive enzymes in the stomach are increasing, and the muscles of the intestinal wall are more mature than before. This is the best time to wean babies. If you fail to grasp this opportunity, the later the weaning time is, the stronger the baby's attachment to the mother will be, resulting in the baby only being willing to eat breast milk and not porridge, rice and other weaning foods.

Choose a time of year when it feels comfortable, such as late spring or cool fall. At this time, changes in lifestyle and habits will have less impact on the baby. If the weather is too hot, the baby will already feel uncomfortable, and weaning will make him cry and make a fuss, and he may also vomit or have diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort with the food. If the weather is too cold, the baby will have restless sleep and easily develop an upper respiratory tract infection. If your baby's weaning age happens to be at this time, it is best to delay it.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of weaning from breast milk. I hope it can help everyone. In fact, many elderly people have rich experience in weaning children. When combined with current scientific methods, they can have better control over children's health and emotions, and the results will be very good.
