A 21 month old baby is about to turn two years old, at which point they can already eat the majority of their food and rely heavily on food for nutrition, rather than breast milk. But if not weaned, the baby will still insist on feeding. So it's better for Xu Ya to be weaned. So how can a 21 month old baby be weaned?
1. Weaning time is better in spring and autumn, with hot summers and cold winters, making it easier for babies to get sick. The best time for weaning is in spring and autumn, where it is neither too hot nor too cold, and the probability of babies getting sick is relatively low. Parents can take their babies out for a walk and play, which can distract their attention.
2. Weaning needs to be a prepared war. Mothers must prepare various arrangements for weaning in advance and make sure the baby adapts to formula. This way, during the weaning process, the baby can drink formula. If the baby refuses to drink formula, they can add a little bit every day to gradually adapt.
3. Take it slow, weaning at once can be very harmful to the baby. For example, if a baby eats breast milk five or six times a day, gradually reducing it to three or four times, and then reducing it to one or two times. By persisting for a period of time, the baby can gradually use the days without breast milk. However, it should be noted that the baby may be hungry at any time and needs to be breastfed when hungry. Therefore, if you want to be weaned, it is best to have food ready at all times and eat whenever the baby wants.
4. The most difficult part is weaning at night. Many babies are used to sleeping with milk and prefer to breastfeed at night. Since they need to be weaned, they cannot be soft hearted, and the milk at night also needs to be cut off. When the baby wants to breastfeed, it is best for parents to play with the baby, divert their attention, and when they get tired of playing, they will sleep on their own.
