Many people will use various methods to effectively help milk secretion after giving birth, which can provide good daily feeding for babies. During this period, breast milk is the best food for babies, and careful care is also needed afterwards. So, at what age is it best to stop breastfeeding?
1. According to the secretion of breast milk by the mother, the timing of weaning can be flexibly controlled. Generally, it is chosen after one year old. If the secretion is sufficient, it can be persisted until two years old before weaning. During this period, other auxiliary foods can be added to the baby appropriately to help with the supply of nutrients. Choose a staple food three times a day.
2. The timing of weaning should also be selected reasonably, preferably in spring and autumn when the temperature is relatively warm, because babies have good immunity during this period and are less likely to get sick. When the weather becomes cold, some babies may experience gastrointestinal sensitivity. If weaned at this time, it is easy for babies to experience discomfort.
3. After weaning, it is necessary to choose milk or formula for the baby and replace them in a timely manner. Many mothers choose to force weaning, but this is not very good. It is necessary to gradually transition and reduce the frequency of breastfeeding every day. If there is breast swelling at this time, it is advisable to take appropriate medication or use a breast pump to help milk be squeezed out well, otherwise it is easy to cause breast inflammation in women.
