First of all, parents should not care too much about weaning. They should breast-feed the baby normally as planned. When the baby shows a strong interest in foods other than breast milk, it should be encouraged and strengthened in time. According to the principle of from less to more, from thin to thick, let the baby try new flavors, guide the baby to like complementary food, and let him also think of weaning as a natural process in his mind.
2, according to the baby's physical condition to decide whether to wean.
Before deciding to wean the baby, the mother had better take the baby to the doctor for a comprehensive and detailed physical examination to ensure the baby's health and normal digestive function, otherwise it will affect the baby's healthy development.
3. Gradually reduce the number of feeding.
When you first reduce your milk, your baby will be very attached to your mother's milk, so it is best to start by reducing the number of breastfeeding during the day. Then, gradually transition to reduce the number of feeding at night until the transition to complete weaning. Breast milk can be gradually replaced by milk or formula milk, and the amount of complementary food will increase accordingly.
4. Don't wean your baby when he is sick.
If the baby happens to be sick, teething, or changing nannies, moving, traveling, or going to work, it is best not to wean the baby first, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of weaning the baby.
5. The weaning process should be decisive without delay.
In the process of weaning, the mother should not only let the baby gradually adapt to the changes in diet, but also be decisive and resolute. You can't postpone weaning just because the baby cries for a while. You can't suddenly break it once, let him eat for a few days, and then suddenly break it again. This kind of repetition will only bring bad emotional stimulation to the baby, resulting in emotional instability, night terrors, refusal to eat, and even lay a hidden danger for future mental illness.
