Things to note when weaning, keep these in mind!

After stopping breastfeeding, a woman's body hormones will undergo great changes. At this time, women must learn to protect their breasts. In addition, they must pay more attention to feeding the baby to avoid nutritional deficiencies in the baby due to weaning. What should be done specifically?

1. Preparations before weaning: Breastfed babies generally don’t like formula, so be patient with them. In order to make your baby adapt to milk powder as quickly as possible, you can feed milk powder before breast milk or squeeze out breast milk and mix it with milk powder to feed your baby, so that your baby can slowly adapt for a period of time.

2. Add complementary food to your baby: Before weaning your baby, you should first add complementary food to your baby, such as milk powder, to reduce the amount of breast milk your baby drinks. After your baby gets used to complementary food, you can slowly wean your baby off from breast milk. Every day when your baby is hungry, give her a fixed amount of milk powder. If she refuses to drink, don't give her anything else. Be persistent and don't be soft-hearted. After finishing this little bit of milk powder, I can then drink breast milk. Once she can drink this much each day, increase the amount.

3. Choice of milk powder: When choosing milk powder, pay attention to choosing one with a light flavor, close to the taste of breast milk, and easy to digest and absorb. Only in this way will the baby like it.

4. Be patient: When you are preparing to wean your baby off from breastfeeding, you cannot feed your baby as soon as he cries. You can hold your baby and coax him, or use other things that interest him to divert his attention, or buy a pacifier and give it to your baby as soon as he cries. If the baby doesn't get anything to suck, after a long time he will know that there is no milk and he will stop wanting it.

5. Avoid the mother from seeing the baby when the baby is hungry: The best way is not to let the baby see the mother when he is hungry. It is best not to let the mother feed the baby when he is hungry, because the baby will refuse to eat other babies' food when he smells the mother's scent. And when feeding the baby, you must coax and feed at the same time. You must be patient and let the baby get used to it slowly. When the baby cries, you must coax him patiently. When the baby is hungry but has no breast milk, he will cry and drink a few mouthfuls of other babies' food, and he will slowly be full.
