These issues should be paid attention to when weaning from breast milk suddenly

During the process of breastfeeding, sudden weaning will have some impact on the baby's body, so the baby must be allowed to adapt slowly so that the body can fully accept it. At the beginning, you can add complementary foods to the baby little by little. It is best to wait until the baby is eight months old before weaning, because the body's resistance will be better after eight months. Choose the appropriate season and try to separate for a period of time, so that weaning can be successful.

Exclusive breastfeeding weaning

I believe all mothers know that the longer the baby drinks breast milk, the better it is for the baby's health. However, many times we worry that the baby will become addicted to breast milk if he drinks it for too long. In fact, breast milk can ensure the healthy growth of the baby. Studies have shown that breast milk contains special nutrients that ensure the development of the baby's brain. In other words, the longer the baby drinks breast milk, the more obvious the IQ advantage will be, which is incomparable to formula milk.

Now that we know that the longer breastfeeding is, the better it is for the baby, but we can't always let the baby eat breast milk, we must always wean the baby, so when is the best time to wean the breastfed baby?

1. Choose the right weaning time : Generally speaking, weaning between 8 and 18 months is reasonable. It can be advanced or delayed according to actual conditions. It is best to wean after 8 months.

2. Choose the right season : The season for weaning your baby is also very important. The best time for weaning is spring or autumn. It can reduce the baby's indigestion and illness, and the mother herself will not suffer from milk engorgement.

3. Weaning should be gradual : Weaning should be stopped as soon as possible. It is best to reduce the number of feedings appropriately, starting with stopping night feedings. At the same time, add complementary foods appropriately so that the baby will not resist and it can also reduce the possibility of breast blockage.

4. Appropriate isolation between mother and baby : Because the baby will form a conditioned reflex of breastfeeding when he is with his mother every day, he will want to breastfeed when he sees his mother. If you want to wean the baby smoothly, it is best to sleep separately from the baby temporarily. Do this for 2 to 3 days and the baby will adapt to weaning.

5: Change the baby's diet: Before weaning, the baby is mainly fed with breast milk. It is best to reduce the frequency and amount of breastfeeding before weaning, and give the baby some rice porridge, eggs, etc. At the same time, give the baby more water, and let the baby adapt to the bottle first.

Having said so much, I believe mothers know how to wean their babies.
