The correct method of weaning
1, weaning is a test for both mother and baby. If the weaning method is improper, it will not only make the baby psychologically difficult to adapt, but also have a negative impact on the baby's health. Some mothers will coat their nipples with pepper, ink, red syrup, purple syrup or coptis water in order to wean them. These methods are not desirable and will bring great psychological harm to the baby. Because of this, the baby will cry, fear, anxiety, or get comfort by sucking handkerchiefs, quilts, and mother's clothes, and even form abnormal behaviors that the child can't correct in the future.
2. The captain summed up some effective weaning methods for mothers' reference: First of all, psychologically, mothers should regard weaning as a natural process. Don't feel ashamed to wean your baby. In addition, before weaning, it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby to make the baby interested in complementary food.
At the same time, other relatives in the family should also consciously contact the baby, such as taking the baby to the park, getting in touch with nature, broadening their horizons and playing games with the baby, so that the baby can feel that people around him love him and play with him, making him happy, safe and trusting.
3. Secondly, weaning can be gradual. There must be a process. You can start by reducing the number of breastfeeding during the day, gradually transition to the evening, and finally completely replace breast milk with formula milk.
4. Again, when weaning, don't let the baby see or touch the mother's nipple. Mothers don't need to avoid it during weaning. They should play more games with their babies to distract them, especially when they are crying. Parents and relatives at home must appease the baby and give the baby more care. Never make a fuss, let alone scold them. In addition, once weaned, don't let your baby breastfeed.
Extended data:
Postweaning diet
1, weaning and complementary food addition are carried out in parallel. It is not because of weaning that you started to eat complementary food, but because you have eaten well before weaning, so the addition of complementary food has not changed significantly before and after weaning, and weaning should not affect the normal addition of complementary food for your baby.
2. What does the baby drink after weaning? As usual, in addition to feeding the baby milk during the day, you can also give the baby a small amount of diluted fresh juice and 1: 1 boiled water. If you are weaned before the age of one, you should drink infant formula. After one year old, the amount of breast milk will gradually decrease, and the amount of milk will gradually increase, but the total amount per day will remain basically the same (children from one to two years old should drink about 600 ml per day).
3. What does the baby eat after weaning?
One-year-old baby's diet arrangement throughout the day: five meals a day, three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and two snacks, emphasizing balanced diet and thick and thin collocation, rice flour and meat, based on the principle of breaking soft and rotten. Completely weaned (breast milk), the diet is mostly fixed three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and the transition from porridge to thick porridge and soft rice, from minced meat to minced meat, from mashed vegetables to minced meat. When the baby is almost one year old, he can train himself to eat and must be weaned (breast milk). If you continue to breastfeed your child, the child may not drink milk, have a bad appetite and have problems in all aspects of nutrition.
But at the same time, we should add complementary food to our baby step by step, from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to thick, and we are used to adding one after another. Wait until the child is healthy, the digestive function is normal, and the reaction is suspended for two days before resuming.
In short, everything depends on the baby's physical condition and cannot be forced.
