Many parents adopt a mixed feeding method for their babies during the process of insufficient breast milk secretion. This way, after reaching the age of 12 months, parents will also quit breastfeeding reasonably, which can allow them to eat more nutritious and delicious food and improve their baby's chewing ability. So, how can mixed feeding babies quit breastfeeding?
1. At this time, the mother should encourage the baby to eat various complementary foods, increase the quantity of food, gradually transition from thin foods to thick foods, and attract the baby to try fresh flavors. Do not immediately stop breastfeeding the baby, otherwise it can easily cause low mood, and in severe cases, it can also make the baby sick and affect growth. At this time, the principle of gradual reduction should be used.
2. The time to quit breastfeeding can be chosen in spring or autumn. Do not give up breastfeeding to your baby in the hot summer or winter, as this can easily cause a decrease in appetite and affect normal digestion. At the beginning, your baby may also show a very attached attitude towards their mother. At this time, do not isolate or be stubborn, but carefully take care of your baby.
3. When a baby is sick, it is not suitable to stop breastfeeding. Some babies have just recovered from a serious illness, or their families have experienced major events such as moving or changing caregivers. If they are weaned again, it will be very difficult. During the period of weaning, many women may experience breast swelling. At this time, breastfeeding medication can be chosen. Mothers should not become soft hearted during this period and let babies develop bad habits of touching their nipples.
