Weaning from breastmilk must not be simple and rough!

When it comes to the best moments of becoming a mother, apart from when the baby is asleep, it is eating neinei. The child\’s red little face, two chubby little hands grasped her mother tightly, and she made a contented \”coo\” sound. Oh my, my heart is melting. However, no matter how beautiful this picture is, the day of weaning will come. When it comes to weaning, it really brings tears and snot from my nose. It is no exaggeration to say that it is basically a separation of flesh and blood! How can you make this separation less painful? Let’s take a look at these tips below. Weaning, are you ready? Intermittent use of bottles Many mothers choose to feed their children by themselves after they are born, so that in the weaning stage, the children are unwilling to accept bottles. Therefore, it is best to start intermittent bottle feeding when the child is about 2 months old. Mothers can choose to bottle feed at the meal when breast swelling and pain are minimal, about 2 to 3 times a week, to prepare for the future. If the child does not like the bottle, it may be because they feel that the pacifier is not like the mother. The mother should try several different pacifiers to find one that the child can accept. Reduce the number of breast feedings. After the child is 6 months old and gets used to bottle feeding, the mother can slowly reduce the number of breast feedings. Don\’t rush it. It’s really time to wean. You decide the time of weaning. I believe many mothers have heard this before deciding to wean: Is it necessary to wean so early? That kid from so and so’s family ate until he was 3 years old! Why don\’t you wean off breastmilk so late? It’s time to stop weaning after 6 months. Your milk has long since run out of nutrients! These two factions have such huge differences, who should we listen to? The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding and complementary feeding until the age of 2 years. And I think, please let yourself and your child decide when to wean. However, generally speaking, spring and autumn are the best times for weaning. If you are a mother who plans to wean, you should start preparing now. The best way to wean the baby without mother feeding is to give the baby milk powder. However, many children do not accept milk powder and bottles very well, so what should we do? In fact, it is not so much that children refuse to accept bottles and milk powder as that they do not accept mothers feeding milk powder from bottles. Because in the child’s little head, mother = feeding = breastfeeding. When the mother gives them a bottle of milk, they will feel uncomfortable with this feeding method and naturally refuse to eat. Therefore, when the mother decides to wean, it is best to ask the father or other relatives to help feed the child. During breastfeeding, it is best not for the mother to appear in front of the child. To compensate, mothers can hug and kiss their children more often after they have eaten enough to make up for the child\’s sense of loss from losing skin-to-skin contact with the mother. But remember, when you are with your child, don’t be tempted to let your child take a few bites. Do not isolate the child from the mother. Weaning is the first separation between the child and the mother. This separation will make the child feel unsafe. If you cannot see your mother at this time, it will only aggravate the child\’s anxiety, make them cry non-stop, and become difficult to take care of. In this way, not only the mother will find it hard, but also the father will be extremely annoyed. Therefore, if you want your child to be weaned obediently, you must increase contact other than breastfeeding during this period. Otherwise, after the child is \”weaned\”,Soon I sucked it again. Are you ready for the follow-up to weaning? In the few days after weaning, the breasts will continue to secrete milk. Remember to express the milk regularly to avoid mastitis. The simplest method of weaning is to ask the father or grandparents to take the child out to play. When they are tired from playing, they can drink milk powder directly. Children over 1 year old can also drink whole milk directly. Come back in the evening and eat complementary food directly. The worst method of weaning is to force the baby to separate from its mother.
