When the child grows up, it is very important to start weaning the child. This is also for the child's growth, because the child does not need to start drinking milk when he grows up, and needs to eat nutrition. There are so many different feeding methods available as your baby grows, and weaning your baby is not an easy task, so what should you do? What is the correct way?

How to wean a breastfeeding mother

1. Wean off bedtime feedings and night feedings. This may be a habit that children will have when they are relatively young, and it is still necessary to pay attention when it comes to weaning. Most babies have a habit of feeding in the middle of the night and before going to bed at night. The hardest thing to cut off is feedings before bed and in the middle of the night. You can wean the night milk first and then the bedtime milk, which requires the active cooperation of the father or family. At first, your baby may be fussy for a few days, but as long as you stick with it, you'll be fine.

2. Prepare in advance and transition slowly. It's a process and we must take these precautions and take care to avoid the hazards involved. When and how weaning varies from person to person. Every mother and baby feels weaning differently and chooses differently. If you are well prepared and both you and your baby are comfortable, the time is ripe for weaning and you can wean your baby from breast milk very quickly. Especially if objective factors are added, if the mother has to travel for a period of time, she is likely to be completely weaned within a few days. If the mother stops sucking after get off work, the milk during the day will also be quickly weaned. Related Reading. How long is breastfeeding good for?

3. Consciously let the baby reduce the dependence on the mother. Generally speaking, children are more dependent on their mothers and spend more time with their mothers. Before preparing for weaning, mothers can consciously reduce the time they spend with their babies and increase the time that fathers take care of their babies, so that the babies have a psychological adaptation process. Might as well let the baby understand that the father will take care of him and gradually reduce the dependence on the mother. At this time, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the father to help the baby through "Weaning period".

4. Cultivate your baby's good habits. During the weaning period, don't think that putting your baby aside and letting him or her cry out loud is an effective solution. During the weaning period, the mother should still give the baby a proper hug and some care. But don't give in to your baby's unreasonable demands easily, and don't develop your baby's bad habits by apologizing for weaning.

5. Let your baby start drinking small amounts of milk slowly in advance. If you are going to start weaning, mothers should give the baby a small amount of formula every day in advance, and then gradually increase the amount to let the baby get familiar with the taste of formula in advance.

6. When you feel that the milk is swollen, you can express a small amount of milk, do not overexpress milk, so as not to stimulate excessive milk secretion, you can also use ice packs to cool the breasts to reduce discomfort.

7. Do not use milk rejuvenation medicine. This is a very important point. Mothers should follow natural principles when breastfeeding, and generally do not need to take breastfeeding medicine.

8. Reduce irritation of breasts and nipples. In addition to reducing sucking, keep your baby out of your breasts and avoid rinsing your breasts with hot water during baths.
