As babies grow older, they need to go through the process of weaning. However, during this stage, babies often struggle to adapt, especially those who love to cry, making it even more difficult to weaned. Because I have been sleeping with my mother since I was young and have developed the habit of eating night milk, how can a baby with a bad temper stop breastfeeding at night?
1. Find a way to shift the child's attention to something else, sing nursery rhymes to the child, pat them to sleep quickly. If it doesn't work and the child still crawls into the mother's arms and wants to drink milk, try to separate him from the nipple and prevent him from eating.
2. For children with a bad temper, it is important to be ruthless when stopping breastfeeding at night. One should not let the child cry and feel heartbroken. This will help the child develop a consciousness of crying when there is no milk to eat, which will make parents more tired. Over time, it will become increasingly difficult to coax the child, and weaning can easily lead to failure. But this does not mean mandatory weaning. For children with a bad temper, mandatory weaning can be very tiring for parents and the effect is not very good.
3. Parents who are afraid of their children crying can use some tricks, such as using fake breast milk to adjust the milk powder in the milk pot for the baby to drink, but don't let him see that he is drinking the milk powder in the milk pot. After a long time, he can slowly accept the milk powder. Children have a dependence on breast milk. When using substitutes, they may initially notice that they don't like to drink it, but after drinking formula for a long time, they will gradually remember the taste of the formula and forget about breast milk. This way, weaning is successful.
