How to wean?

However, when I was breastfeeding my child for 9 months 10 day, suddenly I got acute gastroenteritis, and I thought it would be better to wean my child.

I can't sleep, so I post on the forum and keep replying to my friends on the forum. Finally, I spent a sleepless night. When I lay down, I was in great pain, just like when I was giving birth, once I started to have an attack, I didn't have a chance to sleep.

Until the next morning, I ate the pork liver fried by my mother-in-law, which was also milk. I fell asleep, fell asleep.

I ate all the milk food and milk for a week in a row, but I didn't eat all the milk.

The children are fine. Grandma takes them to bed. When they are hungry, they soak in milk powder and don't cry at all.

My baby 1 year-old is weaned at 4 months, including day and night milk, and weaned at one time. It is also possible that some precious mothers will wean them at night first and then during the day. We weaned for five or six days, to be exact, on the third night, our son basically stopped crying, consolidated for a few days, completely forgot about breast milk, and it was a complete success without repetition. The baby doesn't want to breastfeed any more. Later, I occasionally Doby him, pointing to his breasts. He just smiled and knew I was teasing him.

The baby didn't drink milk powder at first after weaning, but later we changed several brands. He is a little better. Almost half a month after weaning, he began to accept milk powder again.

So how can I wean my baby? Here, I will share my experience and experience with you: 1. Weaning must be planned and step by step.

Don't break it suddenly. You can't break it just by patting your forehead today. Step by step. Children and adults have a buffer period. For example, I plan to wean myself and reduce the number of breastfeeding half a month in advance. For example, if you eat four times a day during the day, you can reduce it to three times, and then slowly reduce it to two times, step by step.

2, prepare complementary food and milk powder for children, two days before weaning, dinner must be full.

Buy children's favorite complementary foods in advance, such as children's noodles, butterfly noodles and rice noodles, and usually buy more fresh fruits for children to eat mud. Children will definitely be hungry after weaning, and they must be full. Otherwise, the child will surely wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and it is not easy to break down.

3. Choose a time when your family can help.

When children are weaned, they will definitely not adapt at first, and they need the comfort of their families. At this time, if his mother is alone, it may be difficult to cope. It is best to have other family members to help him. I deliberately chose my husband's holiday at that time, just in time for the Qingming small holiday for 3 days, which was basically broken.

4, weaning must be adhered to.

Many mothers will give up because they can't stand the crying of their children. In fact, to be honest, when I was weaned on the first night, there was a moment when I wanted to give up, which really hurt me. But at this time, reason reminds me, no! Because once this incision is made, it will not succeed every time in the future, and the child will eat it for nothing! Weaning is the first separation between mother and child. There is no way, we must persist. Children and us will eventually separate and drift away.

When weaning, I breast-fed until the child was 2 years old, so weaning went smoothly. The main reason is that the milk is running out. If fed, the child still wants to breastfeed. At this time, it is more important for mother to make up her mind to wean. At this time, the child's father successfully joined the baby's night activities, and weaning is more logical. There will be repetition in the middle. As long as the mother makes up her mind and drinks some malt water at the same time, the children without milk will drink milk powder if they are smart.

Hello, don't worry about weaning. Step by step, bit by bit. Please watch my video, which will talk about how to do it step by step.

Hello, I am the mother of two children. I was the only one in the whole process of weaning two children I haven't left my baby for three or four days, during which my baby still sleeps with me at night and plays with me during the day. First of all, if you want to give up breastfeeding, Ma Bao must make up his mind. Don't wait for the baby to cry and soften before eating. I don't recommend that the baby leave his mother during weaning, so the baby will feel insecure and the child will have psychological defects.

My two babies are one year old and nine months old, almost two years old. At this time, children can understand and understand what adults say.

I'm determined to get my child to give up breast milk. Just a few days before the official weaning, I made some psychological preparations for my child, which was easy for the child to accept. A few days ago, I told my child every day: "When the baby grows up, the mother's milk is less, and it will be finished one day. After that, the baby won't cry. Don't worry. Mother takes milk powder instead of breast milk. Milk powder is as delicious and nutritious as breast milk. Repeat this sentence every day and stop breastfeeding after three or four days.

On the first day of weaning, I got up in the morning and told her that my mother's milk was gone. I searched the picture book Goodbye, Mother's Milk on the Internet and read it to him. After hearing this, the baby cried. I hugged him, coaxed him for a while and brought him his favorite toy. Because I prepared him psychologically before, although he was unhappy, he didn't cry. He had a good time during the day and found nothing wrong. I held her all the time to comfort her and didn't try to put her to sleep. I'll play with her as long as she wants. At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the child was tired of playing and cried a little. I fell asleep after hugging her for a while. I woke up three times a night and only cried a little, so I fell asleep easily. I just had to stand up and hug her.

The next day, it was always calm during the day, and I woke up three times at night, but I basically stopped crying and put it down as soon as I fell asleep.

On the third day, the baby basically forgot to ask his mother to breastfeed, but the acceptance of milk powder was not very good, the appetite became bigger and his appetite became better. He woke up once at night and still fell asleep.

On the fourth day, milk powder still didn't like to drink, mainly relying on eating. At this time, I will work harder on the baby's food to increase nutrition for the baby. I will still wake up at night, or I will hold my arm and fall asleep before I put it down.

We basically don't eat for three or four days, and there is nothing during the day. We just sleep for a while at night. I advised Ma Bao not to leave the child. The child finally quit breastfeeding, and it will be even worse if he doesn't see his mother again!

Let's talk about my baby's experience. My baby usually eats breast milk mixed with milk powder. Usually, the mother's breast milk is not enough. Later, I felt that the baby was eating less milk powder, so I decided to wean the baby and feed it at night, so that he could sleep with his grandmother and gradually overdo it. Later, when the baby saw his mother laughing, he stopped breastfeeding. Haha, the baby is quite sensible.

I don't recommend compulsory weaning.

If you don't have to wean yourself, for example, if your mother is sick, you can't breastfeed. I don't recommend sudden weaning for the rest.

Why not recommend compulsory weaning? First, make children feel insecure.

As we all know, for children, breast milk is their food and their favorite food. Imagine if you can't eat what you like anymore, will it be particularly painful? Moreover, breast milk is not only a child's food, but more importantly, a child's spiritual dependence. Sudden weaning will make children feel insecure and anxious.

Secondly, it is harmful to the body.

For mothers, it will bring great physical pain to mothers, such as raising milk. At the same time, this practice may bury serious problems for your body.

Precautions for weaning children? 1, select the appropriate time.

Choosing the right time, here refers to the comfortable season, preferably when it is neither too hot nor too cold. It is not recommended to wean children in winter, because it is cold, and it is easy to catch cold when you get up at night to make milk powder for your children. If you accidentally catch a cold, it will be more difficult to wean your child, and it will also make your child physically and mentally uncomfortable. Not in the hottest summer. The weather is hot in summer, and the baby is prone to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Weaning at this time is more likely to aggravate this situation, and if it is not done well, it will get sick.

2. Don't worry

In the history of human development, weaning has always been a natural process, indicating that children no longer breastfeed. However, due to prejudice and lack of some information. Many mothers no longer think that weaning is a natural process. It is a thing that can be done happily, but it is a thing full of challenges, pains and struggles. In fact, as long as the weaning method is proper, any stage will be smooth. Similarly, if the method is improper, both the child and the mother will cause harm.

3. Step by step

Weaning should be a step-by-step process with a plan. For example, break for a day first. Don't put pepper and bitter medicine on nipples to prevent children from breastfeeding, which will make children feel cheated, distrust their mothers and even the world, and even cause their anger and anxiety.

4. Balanced nutrition

Children grow rapidly and have a great demand for nutrition. If you suddenly wean and don't pay attention to the feeding method, the child is not used to it. If the nutrition intake is insufficient, it will easily lead to malnutrition and digestive dysfunction. It is necessary to gradually reduce the amount of breastfeeding, and at the same time train children to eat food with spoons and small bowls, and pay attention to the types and hardness of the food they eat.

How to wean? Dr. Sears said, "A smart baby will not give up the breastfeeding relationship he enjoys very much unless there are equally attractive emotional nutrients to attract him to leave." Therefore, children are unwilling to wean.

How to break it? Do the following.

1, normal

Give your child a regular diet and avoid hunger and thirst.

2. Observe

Observe the reasons why he needs to breastfeed: need to be intimate with his mother, need to suck, need comfort (when he is injured, sick or sad), feel bored, get used to doing nothing, or need to fall asleep. Observing the reasons why children breastfeed can be used to choose when to wean first.

Step 3 don't take the initiative

Do not take the initiative to feed, but do not refuse.

4. divert attention

When you feel that your child will ask for breastfeeding, provide other substitutes or distract him. It is best to provide a substitute before the child asks for breastfeeding, because once he asks for breastfeeding, giving him a substitute will make him feel rejected. Substitutes should be healthy snacks and drinks, not candy. In addition, taking him to interesting places will further distract his attention to breast milk.

5, according to the situation

In some cases (such as illness, injury or before going to bed), it is essential for children. Mothers can allow their children to continue eating, stop breastfeeding in other general cases and stop breastfeeding in special cases.

6. Give children more care.

The reason why a baby eats milk is his food and his need for love. Food can be replaced by a series of rice flour such as milk powder and rice flour. Then caring needs the efforts of the mother. Therefore, it is wrong to let the mother stay away from the child directly when weaning.

It is natural to sum up weaning, but it should be distinguished from decisiveness. Decisiveness in weaning means decisiveness in weaning children, and you can't give up for a while. Natural weaning refers to weaning slowly on the basis of planning and steps. The two are related but not contradictory, and can be said to complement each other.

Weaning also requires patience. I hope every baby mother will stop worrying about weaning.

There are several points to wean the baby.

1. Let me explain the weaning time first. Weaning here refers to weaning.

When is it appropriate to wean breast milk? Who's recommendation is to feed at least one year old. Mothers and babies can feed them for longer if they want.

After the baby is weaned, if it is less than one year old, it needs to continue to drink formula milk powder. If you are one year old, you should continue to drink milk. It's just that there are many choices of milk. Besides formula milk, you can also drink milk, yogurt and eat cheese.

Milk is the best source of calcium. Therefore, after the baby breaks the breast milk, he must continue to maintain the habit of drinking milk.

2. The process of weaning should be gradual. On the one hand, before weaning, you can gradually increase the number of bottle feeding. For example, if a mother goes to work during the day, she can let her family feed her baby with a bottle.

On the other hand, you can also adapt your baby to the taste of milk powder in advance. Use milk powder instead of breast milk every meal.

I weaned my baby when he was two years old. At that time, the baby fed milk powder and breast milk during the day, which was equivalent to only weaning before going to bed. Plus, the baby is 2 years old and has eaten normally. Breast milk is no longer a "staple food", and the baby has a better transition.

3. Full-time companionship+distracted weaning is a withdrawal process for the baby. Therefore, at this stage, it is not recommended to isolate the mother from the baby, which is equivalent to a double blow to the baby. It is suggested that mothers and other family members can spend more time with the baby and divert his attention from drinking milk.

In addition, the first few days of weaning are the most difficult and critical for babies. At this time, you can give your baby some snacks he likes to relieve his hunger.

I hope my answer can help mothers and wish the baby a smooth weaning and healthy growth.

Breast milk is not only the necessary material basis for the baby's growth and development, but also the process of breast feeding is a process of enhancing the relationship between mother and child and making the baby feel safe. Therefore, weaning a baby should not only consider whether the baby's acceptance of new food will affect his physical development, but also consider his psychological acceptance.

First of all, if conditions permit, it is best to let the baby wean naturally. When the baby grows to a certain extent, he can accept many foods and feels that breast milk can no longer satisfy his appetite, so he will naturally choose to leave breast milk. This will have the least impact on the baby's physical and mental development.

Secondly, if the baby is the kind of child who loves milk, it may be unrealistic to leave milk naturally. At this time, it is recommended to tell the baby to wean for various reasons and give the baby a psychological adaptation period by preaching and vaccination in advance. During the weaning period, the mother stays with the baby as usual, so that the baby can see her every day and get psychological comfort and support. Some mothers will put some red "dyes" on their nipples when weaning their babies, telling them that they are injured and bleeding. This kind of deception and intimidation will do great harm to your baby's mind, and similar methods are not suitable. Some mothers will take the method of disappearing suddenly, and stay outside for a few days, and they will be forced to wean their babies. Although this can achieve the goal of weaning, it is a bit too cruel for a small treasure who is very attached to her mother. Her mother who was with her for 24 hours suddenly disappeared. She not only has no wife, but also can't see her most trusted and dependent mother. How much psychological trauma the baby should have.

In short, each child's situation is different, and individual differences are also great. Weaning is also a milestone process that must be experienced on the road to growth. Parents need to use their brains to choose the mildest and most natural way to wean successfully at one time according to the baby's situation.

First of all, there is nothing scientific about this weaning, as long as we take good measures to prevent children from crying too much and not affect their normal nutritional needs. Not everything can be scientific, and children's affairs should be treated flexibly, because every child is different, the situation is different and the personality is different. No science is suitable for every child.

Here I recommend several weaning methods for you:

1, first of all, we must ensure that children's complementary food is better, they can eat everything, and there is no problem with their diet.

2, exercise a child's habit of sleeping all night, that is, first reduce the number of times the child breastfeeds at night, and then try to change a habit of breastfeeding. These two aspects should be taken slowly one by one. When children can sleep all night and don't breastfeed at night, they will start to change their breastfeeding habits.

3. If the baby's milk is broken at night, give the baby complementary food on time during the day. If the child is full, parents should not advise the child to eat breast milk, as long as the child does not want to, he will not be allowed to eat. Generally, children will not think about breastfeeding when they are full.

4, play with children more, reduce the number of breastfeeding during the day, and change the pattern to attract children to eat complementary food and dinner. Don't get into the habit of feeding children when they cry. Slowly, children eat less and eat more during the day.

5, mom should also have less soup and less milk. In this way, the child will be very happy to wean.

This is how my baby is weaned. It went well. You can try.
