One meal a day is not as good as weaning

One meal a day is not as good as weaning

For breastfeeding babies, it is recommended to wean them when they are around one to one and a half years old. Because the baby grows and develops rapidly at this time, simply drinking breast milk can no longer provide the baby with sufficient nutrition. Complementary food should be added in time. Generally, after the baby is four months old, complementary food can be added slowly. Complementary food should be added from less to more, from thin to thick, and the baby's toileting habits should be closely observed. Choose spring or autumn when weaning, because the climate is good at this time, which can reduce the baby's tendency to get angry.

Proper feeding posture:

The mother can completely relax herself, squat or lie down in a comfortable posture, and can use pillows or mattresses to support herself or the baby when breastfeeding. Let the baby come close to the mother, with his face facing the mother's breast and his nose facing the nipple. The baby's head and neck are in a straight line with the body, and the baby's abdomen is close to the mother's belly. If it is a newborn baby, the mother should support the baby's head, shoulders and buttocks.

The mother can pinch the breast hard and gently touch the baby's upper lip. When the baby's mouth grows big, she can quickly hold the baby close to the breast (not moving the mother's body) and let the baby hold the nipple and the nipple at the same time, not just the nipple.

Therapeutic drugs are prohibited during breastfeeding:

When taking medication during breastfeeding, people usually only consider whether the medication affects milk secretion, rarely consider the effect of the medication on the baby, or don't know what medications affect the baby at all. In fact, many drugs can enter the baby's body through the mother's breast milk, and then cause harm to the infant. Although the concentration of some drugs entering the breast milk is very low, the harm to the baby is relatively serious.
