Breast milk can provide the baby with the necessary nutrients for their growth process, but as the baby grows, both in terms of nutrition and quantity, breast milk can no longer meet their needs. At this stage, it is necessary to start weaning the baby and start eating. So, how to weaning a baby so it won't make a fuss?
For babies, weaning requires an adaptation process. If weaned hastily, the baby will not only cry, but also easily suffer from loss of appetite and malnutrition. Therefore, parents must gradually weaned their babies. Before weaning, babies should receive more supplementary food. Generally speaking, babies can start supplementing their diet when they are 6 months old, and it is more appropriate to weaning them around 1 year old when they can eat most of their food.
During weaning, most babies become impatient and uncomfortable, so do not separate the mother and baby for weaning, as both the baby and mother may not adapt. Weaning a baby should be done gradually, starting from the daytime. During the day, the baby can distract themselves by going out or playing. When the baby gets used to not breastfeeding during the day, try to quit breastfeeding at night as well.
After meals, babies will not feel too hungry at night, and the need to breastfeed at this time is just a habit. You can try giving babies some formula before bedtime to distract their attention. Gradually quitting the habit will make it difficult for them to give up on breast milk. Breaking breast milk for babies requires significant changes both physically and mentally. At this time, parents must patiently take care of their babies and make them pass the weaning period happily.
