Weaning should pay attention to the following points:
1. Selection of weaning time. Generally do not choose to wean in summer, because the weather is hot in summer and the appetite is poor. In addition, when weaning, the child will cry for a long time, and the stomach will be weak, which will not only affect the child's appetite but also easily dehydrate.
2. Tell your child the time of weaning in advance. For example, my Dabao weaning time was given at the age of two. So when I was one year old and nine months old, I told her how long it would take to breastfeed and prepare the child.
3. Weaning should be gradual. You can wean your child during the day and then at night.
4. Weaning should be firm, and you can't give in because your child is crying. When weaning a child (especially when weaning him at night), the child will definitely cry and cry badly. As long as the mother insists on the first night, the time for the child to cry will gradually shorten, and finally he will fall asleep without making trouble. (My Dabao was weaned at night and cried for more than half an hour on the first night. At that time, I couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to give up. But the thought that the child had been crying for so long made me hold on. Finally, the child didn't carry me and fell asleep. I cried for more than ten minutes the next night and fell asleep. Go straight to bed on the third night. )
Weaning is a very important period for babies and a major turning point in life. Weaning is not only a change in diet and feeding methods, but also has an important impact on the baby's psychological development. Novice mothers must know some weaning skills and strategies. When to wean your baby Generally speaking, children of 4-6 months can start weaning their baby after adding complementary foods such as porridge, noodles and rice, but 4-6 months is not the best time to wean. 8- 10 months old is the best time for weaning, and the best time for complete weaning is 10- 12 months old.
The best time for weaning is spring and autumn, not summer. If it happens in summer, the weaning time can be postponed to autumn. In summer, the temperature is high. In order to regulate body temperature, the body dissipates heat by sweating. When the skin dissipates heat, blood vessels dilate, and more blood flows to the body surface, and the blood supply to internal organs such as gastrointestinal tract is relatively reduced, resulting in decreased gastrointestinal activity and digestive juice secretion, and decreased digestive function. Because the baby is immature, the adjustment ability is weaker. If you change your baby's diet structure at this time, it will increase the metabolic burden of your baby's digestive system and cause adverse reactions, such as gastroenteritis, indigestion and anorexia. Precautions for baby weaning With the decrease of breast milk, you can feed your baby formula first and then decide to wean. When weaning, first reduce the number of breastfeeding during the day, and then reduce the number of breastfeeding before going to bed.
From the beginning of weaning to complete weaning, the baby needs to go through an adaptation process, which is to replace breast milk with complementary food one meal at a time. Some mothers usually do not prepare for weaning and do not gradually change their baby's diet. Instead, it is used to apply coptis root and cool oil on the nipple, and suddenly the baby is not breastfed, so that the baby can't adapt because of the sudden change of diet. Results The baby cried for days, was depressed, unwilling to eat, lost weight and even got sick. What is the success of weaning? Either the baby is not clamoring for milk, or weaning is successful. After weaning, the child's mental state is good and his mood is normal. This is successful weaning. If the child's mental state has been bad after weaning, often crying, or irritable, it may be because of insufficient preparation in the early stage, or there are problems during weaning. , leading to emotional problems in the baby. If this happens, then mothers should take a good look. What to eat after weaning? After weaning, the baby is basically over half a year old. At this time, the baby's digestive function has been enhanced a lot, and he can eat liquid and semi-liquid food, laying the foundation for the baby to ingest enough nutrients. Mom and Dad should pay attention to the balance of nutrition when feeding complementary food to their babies. They can appropriately let their babies eat some protein foods, such as tofu, eggs, dairy products, fish and minced lean meat. However, carbohydrates, vitamins and other nutrients can not be less.
The new types of complementary food should be increased equally, and the baby should adapt to one and then add another. If the baby has an adverse reaction, stop taking the medicine immediately. Add new complementary food before feeding and eat complementary food before feeding, so that the baby will accept the new complementary food more easily. After weaning (1 year), the baby's ability to digest food is enhanced. Almost all ordinary food can be eaten. At this time, the baby can eat the same meals as his parents, such as steamed minced meat, fish balls, noodles, rice and steamed bread. Note that parents should avoid underestimating the baby's ability to eat and digest when cooking, and make the food into a thin paste. Some parents think that babies with few teeth can't eat lumpy food and solid food. In fact, babies as young as/kloc-0 can eat some soft and tender small pieces of food, and they can crush, chew and swallow vegetables, fruits and biscuits with a few front teeth and gums.
If you always give your baby food with mud, on the one hand, you can't exercise your baby's chewing ability; On the other hand, muddy food is sometimes not necessarily easier to digest than soft solid food. A few babies feel sick when they eat bad food. The reason is that the baby is used to eating rotten food at ordinary times and is not used to touching lump food at once. When parents prepare food for their babies, there are the following foods that should be avoided: 1 Some shellfish and fish, such as squid, octopus and abalone, and fish and shellfish dishes cooked with seasonings, dried squid and other vegetables, such as burdock, lotus root and pickles, and spicy condiments, such as mustard, pepper, ginger, garlic and curry powder.
I'm struggling now. The baby is one year and three months old. I want to breastfeed until I am two years old, but my health is not good, my breasts hurt and I have lost weight. I have no choice but to stop. I don't understand. I started thinking about weaning, but later I felt so cruel. I cut off the daytime and gradually reduced the number of nights. He cried badly, basically for several hours, and his crying voice was hoarse, which made me feel bad. He is much better now. What I hate most is my neighbor. They always say that I have been feeding for a long time, and I should be weaned in a few months. I have been weaned for several months. But I still want to improve his resistance. I am breastfeeding more now, and I don't care what others say.
It must be noted that the "weaning" mentioned here is "weaning" rather than "weaning". After babies reduce or stop breast milk, they must gradually add formula milk, pure milk, yogurt and other dairy products, that is, "milk can't stop."
In addition, many mothers report that it is difficult to wean their babies. Mothers think "weaning is difficult" because they have to wean after a few weeks or even days. This idea is wrong.
In the absence of other special problems, the process of weaning should not be done overnight. We should gradually replace breast milk with complementary food and other milk, which is a gradual process.
Breastfeeding method:
Increase complementary food. When the baby is 6 months old, the mother should gradually increase the complementary food for the baby, so that the baby's milk quantity will gradually decrease (after adding the complementary food, the baby's milk quantity should be no less than 600mL, and the number of breastfeeding times should not exceed 5 times a day).
When the baby 1 year-old, parents only need to feed the baby 500mL of milk, and the number of breastfeeding times should not exceed 4 times a day.
Give your baby night milk and cultivate good sleep habits. Maybe the mother doesn't understand the relationship between breastfeeding and sleep. In fact, the most difficult step in the process of weaning your baby is to wean your baby at night. If the baby can sleep in the crib all night without drinking breast milk at night, then you will find it very simple to wean the baby.
There is no night milk that can't stop, only the heart that can't stop (poke me to tell you how to stop night milk scientifically)
Replace breast milk with formula milk and other milk. If there are special circumstances, parents have to wean their babies under 1 year-old, then they must feed their babies with formula milk; If you want to wean your baby after 1 year old, you only need to choose the milk that your baby likes (formula milk, pure milk, yogurt, etc.). ).
Breast-fed babies don't like bottles very much. Mothers can use baby cups, straws and other auxiliary items to feed their babies. In addition, when the mother is not present, the baby is much more likely to receive formula milk, so he needs the help of his father when weaning.
What's the matter?
Until now, many elders are weaning their babies by surprise.
They will put black ointment or pepper water on their mother's nipples to scare the baby and make the baby suddenly afraid of breast milk; Some elders will ask their mothers to leave home and avoid their babies for a few days. ......
These incredible weaning methods are actually terrible for young children and will also cause unnecessary psychological burden to the baby, so I suggest you not to follow suit here.
Weaning should be a natural process, which requires the cooperation of mother, father and baby. If you are still hesitant about weaning your baby, don't worry, because breastfeeding can last until your baby is 2 years old or longer.
Weaning is a stage that every baby and mother have to go through.
How to wean the baby to make it transition naturally, and what weaning methods are there? The correct weaning method is to start weaning when the baby is healthy, step by step, and gradually reduce the number of feedings. The weaning process should be decisive. During weaning, the mother doesn't need isolation, but don't let the baby touch the mother's nipple.
Generally speaking, there are six weaning methods.
1. Take weaning as a natural process.
Parents should not care too much about weaning, but should feed their babies according to their normal development rules. 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 should ensure that the baby is healthy and has normal digestive function, and then wean the baby. If it happens that the baby is sick and teething, it is best not to wean first, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of weaning the baby. If the family environment has changed greatly, such as changing nannies and moving, it is best to wait for the baby to adapt to the new environment before weaning.
3. Gradually reduce the number of feeding.
When you just reduce your milk, your baby will be very attached to your mother's milk, so it is best to reduce 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 formula milk.
4. The weaning process should be decisive without delay.
In the process of weaning, mother's attitude should be decisive and firm. You can't postpone weaning just because the baby cried 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, and weaning is even more difficult.
5. Mom was not isolated during weaning.
Weaning babies need more care and physical comfort from their mothers. Therefore, during weaning, don't isolate your mother, otherwise it will bring psychological pain to your baby. In addition, when weaning, it is best not to let the baby see or touch the mother's nipple.
6. Dad helps the baby through the weaning period.
Before preparing for weaning, the mother can consciously reduce the time with the baby, increase the time for the father to take care of the baby, give the baby a psychological adaptation process, and reduce the baby's dependence on the mother in advance.
The baby is four and a half months old and began to wean on August 6. At present, on the 7th day, we want to share our experience, hoping to provide some reference for mothers who are ready to wean:
1, I have been breast-feeding since birth and have never eaten a bottle. I was weaned because the physical examination found that I was sick and needed surgery urgently. If possible, I'd better wean myself naturally, or at least feed until I am one year old.
2, a week before the official weaning, give him practice with a bottle. At first, he wouldn't drink frozen milk or milk powder. When he is in a good mood, he will play with the bottle and bite the nipple. When he is in a bad mood, he will push away with his hand and cry. At that time, I didn't think the baby would eat a bottle, so he was very anxious because I only had three weeks to finish weaning. In order to reduce the workload of repeatedly heating milk bottles and save the only drawer of frozen milk in the refrigerator, I began to let him practice. When I found him hungry, I drank boiled water with my bottle in my arms (secretly happy, little guy, so you can drink), and then I squeezed new milk into the bottle. He drinks when he is hungry, but he doesn't drink when he is not too hungry. He is still in a good mood. ...
3. After confirming that you will eat the bottle, you will start to wean. The first day, the second day, put the frozen milk in the bottle, don't drink, put the milk powder in the bottle, don't drink, while changing the brand of milk powder, continue to practice milking new milk, and when he cries badly, I will continue to kiss and feed (some people here may say that I am not decisive enough, but I think weaning needs to give the child, including the mother, a psychological and physical adaptation process, and the effect of sudden braking may be immediate, but I firmly believe that it is psychological for the baby. Or apply bitter medicine and cool oil ... I have a weaning period, so I can slow down. Wait, Eva, if you are not in a hurry, why do you ask for immediate results ... Slow down and deliberately wean may break the effect of natural weaning, which is ideal)
4. On the third and fourth days, when the baby is not sleepy and a little hungry, he is willing to eat a bottle (accepting frozen grandma powder) and only wants to find my milk before going to bed at night or when he is extremely sleepy (I will pay attention to the baby's state and provide him with a sleeping environment as soon as possible to avoid being too sleepy). These two days, I only kissed him three times a day, once during the day, once before going to bed and once at night.
On the fifth and sixth day, Eva danced when she saw the bottle, knowing that she was going to give it to him, indicating that the conditioned reflex had been formed. I'm joking with my mother. Now the bottle is fucking, and I don't look for her mother (I'm not hiding at all, but they are still very close. As usual, I bathe him, coax him, read with him and play with him. I'm afraid I will hug him and touch his chest to form a milk knot when the milk rises seriously.
6. Starting today, prepare to record his milk quantity and eating time, gradually determine his eating rules, and then feed him on time. I don't kiss-feed anymore (I bought milk tea to speed up the milk return, because I still have eight days). If he is in a bad mood, I will give him more hugs, divert my attention, improve the time and quality of spending time with him, and ask my husband and grandmother to help me play with my children more, especially to take him out in the morning and evening to see the children.
7, mothers should pay attention to avoid mastitis, the amount of milk is very high, and some should be squeezed out properly. Maybe our baby is a good weaning type, or he is too young to be so strongly dependent, but I think it is very important for children to change their diet anyway, and it is very important for mothers to accompany and comfort them.
8. Finally, I wish the babies can take their time and let nature take its course like natural weaning.
On the road of breastfeeding, as long as we do our best, we are good mothers. Of course, you may encounter all kinds of difficulties, but fortunately, there are many ways to solve the problem so that difficulties will not become obstacles to breastfeeding. However, we hope that mothers can clearly know that breastfeeding will end one day, but the connection between you and your child continues. Don't feel lost.
So, what should we pay attention to when weaning? What should mom prepare in advance?
After weaning, the first problem faced by mothers is to increase milk. Without careful care, breast congestion may occur, and even mastitis may occur. Slowing down the speed of weaning can help you relieve breast pain. Don't cut off all the baby's milk at once, but gradually reduce it, which is good for both the baby and the mother.
Before weaning, it is best for mothers to collect some methods to help them return to milk in case of emergency. Generally speaking, if the breastfeeding time is as long as 10 months to 1 year, the natural breastfeeding method can be used. For example, 1 day, you have to feed your baby eight times, which can be gradually reduced to 64 times, and the rest will be replaced by infant formula. In this way, the amount of milk secretion will naturally decrease day by day. In addition, if it is due to various diseases or special reasons, the weaned mother who has insufficient breast-feeding for 10 months can adopt the method of artificial breast-feeding, such as using traditional Chinese medicine or breast-feeding needle.
1, reduce the sense of loss: before the baby is weaned, the mother will suddenly feel lost because she has lost this way of intimate communication with the baby. So a mother should think like this from the first day of breastfeeding her baby: One day the baby doesn't need me because he is healthy and has entered a new growth stage.
2, give your baby more comfort: In the eyes of adults, weaning means no longer eating breast milk, but for the baby, weaning may mean leaving the mother's arms. This insecurity will make him depressed for a long time. Therefore, in the preparation period of weaning, the mother should learn to comfort the baby in his favorite way when he is sad, such as taking him to play some games or giving him a comforting toy.
3, simulation in advance: You can also let other caregivers simulate the feeding method after weaning in advance, such as sucking out breast milk and letting dad feed the baby with a bottle.
When it comes to weaning, I feel that I have the least say. Because now that I think about it, this process is too simple. Then in fact, this process is quite sad, not that the baby can't stand it, but that I can't stand it myself.
I always eat mixed food because there is never enough breast milk. Therefore, when it is broken, it is very simple, because the baby does not have much attachment to breast milk. When the baby is three months old, I start to work, then go back to feed at noon, not at night, and eat milk powder at other times. After half a year, I basically stopped the milk at noon, that is, milk powder during the day and breast milk at night. Everything is going well, which is probably related to the mixed feeding of the baby.
When the baby was eight months old, she had little breast milk and couldn't eat it well, so she felt bad. In fact, it was bad at night. The baby didn't respond much, so he still drank milk powder. I feed it every day, but I didn't expect much breast milk. After weaning, I found that there was a lot of breast milk. I have been raising milk for two nights before feeding. It hurts and I dare not squeeze. Let the baby suck when he can't stand it, and then weaning failed. After another half month, I really decided to break it, so I endured the pain and survived. Of course, I drank barley tea during the period. If I feel uncomfortable, I squeezed out some, slowly returned to the milk, and it was completely broken. Later, when I saw a mother breast-feeding her baby until she was 2 years old, I was ashamed of her baby.
Therefore, it is suggested that mothers who want to wean their babies should wean their babies around one and a half years old, preferably in spring and autumn, not in Xia Dong. When weaning, you can drink something back to milk to inhibit breast milk secretion, and don't let your baby suck it. Since it's going to be broken, it's going to be completely broken. It's good for the baby and yourself. Don't put up with it for a few days before feeding. At the same time, remember to hold your milk for a long time. Don't give it to the baby, it will cause diarrhea!
1. Take weaning as a natural process. 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. Weaning process ......
Weaning must pay attention to the timing, weaning in the right season and at the right age.
1. Best age: 1.2 months or older.
Breast milk contains lactose, fat and trace elements needed by the baby's physical development, which can stimulate the intestinal tract to establish normal flora, reduce the risk of allergies and help the baby enhance its resistance. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers breastfeed exclusively until they are 6 months old.
After 6 months, only breast milk was given, and then complementary food, formula milk and breast milk were mixed to 12 months and above. Then decide the weaning time according to the actual situation of mother and baby.
2. The best season: spring and autumn.
This is an experience shared by friends, which sounds reasonable.
When weaning, the child suddenly loses the natural barrier of breast milk, and the body's resistance will inevitably decline. In addition, some babies are depressed, which has caused a strange phenomenon: weaning means getting sick, the small one is catching a cold and coughing, and the big one is having a fever and diarrhea.
Spring and autumn are neither too cold nor too hot. Even if the baby is sick because of weaning, it is relatively easy to care, but the plan is not as good as change. Weaning is sometimes sudden, just like winter.
3. The best time: accept complementary food and absorb it well.
No matter how old you are, whether the season happens or not, it is the best time to wean your baby.
Consider weaning after the baby has fully accepted complementary food and absorbed it well, because breast milk provides the best nutrition for the baby's physical development.
If the baby's absorption of complementary food is not ideal, weaning is not conducive to the baby's physical development and mental health.
