How to wean your baby off breast milk the fastest and most effectively

Before weaning, let the baby get used to complementary food slowly to complete the weaning process. In the process of weaning, the baby will inevitably cry and make a fuss, and we will be very distressed at this time, so it is likely to cause repeated delays in weaning. So, what is the best way to wean your baby?

1. Prepare for weaning in advance

After weaning, the distance between mother and baby is not as close as before, which may be difficult for the baby to adapt psychologically. Therefore, mothers should give their babies a buffer period to allow them to prepare for weaning physiologically and psychologically, so that they can quickly adapt to life after weaning.

2. Don’t actively feed, but don’t refuse

Mothers should plan to reduce the amount of milk for their babies in the late stage of weaning. At the beginning, mothers prepare some formula milk for their babies every day, encourage them to drink more, and let them gradually stop breast milk.

3. Let your loved ones coax your baby to sleep

At the beginning after weaning, the baby will undoubtedly be very fussy, but as the time after weaning gets longer, the baby's fussing level will be significantly alleviated. Generally, after about a week, the baby can be successfully weaned. In order for the baby to be successfully weaned, before falling asleep, it is necessary to change the baby's milk drinking habits. In the past, he could fall asleep only with the help of milk, but at this time, the baby needs to listen to some songs he is familiar with to help him fall asleep quickly.

In the later period of weaning, the father also has to shoulder some responsibilities, play more with the child appropriately, and reduce the chances of contact between the child and the mother. If the child doesn't see his mother, he won't cry and make a fuss for milk. Especially when going to bed at night, it is best for the father to coax the baby to sleep, so that the child will not want to drink milk again.

In order to prevent the child from being woken up by hunger in the middle of the night, at dinner time, the mother should try to give the child some hunger-resistant baby food. Don't eat semi-liquid food, solid food is best. If the child is weaned after one year old, you can use steamed buns and white rice to replace baby foods such as egg custard or baby rice cereal.
