How many days after weaning can I hold my baby?

When the baby is still young, due to physical reasons, he absorbs nutrients by drinking breast milk. But as the baby grows up, the habit of drinking breast milk needs to be gradually eliminated. However, in the later period of weaning, how many days does the mother need to protect the baby before she can hold the baby? How many days after weaning can she hold the baby? Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

In order to wean the baby, it is generally recommended that the mother and baby stay together for about three to seven days before holding the baby. In the later stage of weaning, the mother should rarely see or not see or hold the baby. On the one hand, it is to prevent the baby from wanting to drink breast milk when seeing the mother's reaction. On the other hand, it is to prevent the mother from being indecisive when seeing the baby crying and making a fuss for breastfeeding, and finally failing to wean the baby successfully.

Because each baby's dependence on milk is different, the time of protection from the mother is also different. Therefore, it is recommended that parents should accurately judge the time required for protection based on the baby's dependence on milk. If the baby is not very dependent on milk, the mother can appropriately shorten the time she is away from the baby to prevent the baby from developing a negative psychological state of being abandoned by the mother.

However, if the baby is really more dependent on breast milk, parents do not have to use tough measures blindly. On the one hand, parents can try to use food to divert the baby's attention from drinking breast milk, so that the baby will be less attached to milk; on the other hand, mothers can use some reasons to discuss with the baby not to breastfeed the baby, so that the baby can subjectively accept not drinking breast milk.

You can hold your baby in the later stage of weaning, and it will not easily affect the whole weaning process of the baby. It is recommended that parents do not worry too much during this period. Usually in the late stage of weaning, you can gradually reduce the frequency of your baby drinking breast milk, increase the amount of infant formula your baby uses, have a transition period, and prevent your child from crying and feeling unwell. If the baby starts crying and making a fuss, you should feed him with milk powder immediately and comfort him. During the weaning period, you should also pay attention to your diet. Do not eat high-fat and hot foods to avoid breast swelling and pain.
