Weaning is a relatively difficult task because babies are used to feeding, and if they don't, they will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, if they are not allowed to breastfeed, the baby will become particularly troublesome, and parents will also be very frustrated. So, how to breastfeed a 6-month-old baby?
1. This is a cyclic and progressive process. Babies can add complementary foods on time at 6 months old. At this time, the baby can eat a considerable amount of food. As the food is already quite abundant, the frequency of breastfeeding can gradually decrease, for example, only breastfeeding in the morning and evening of the day.
2. Choose the right time. It's best not to choose summer. Due to the hot summer weather, babies are prone to gastrointestinal disorders during this period, so weaning at this time can increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal diseases. So the best time to start weaning is in autumn. Generally speaking, the weather is already slightly milder at this time, and the baby's body is relatively stable. When weaning, it is important to choose a specific time based on the weather and the baby's physical condition. If the baby has already experienced physical problems, it is best not to choose weaning.
3. Pay attention to adjusting your diet, combining meat and vegetables, and not without vegetables and fruits. Because children are in a period of rapid growth, they require a variety of nutrients. If it suddenly breaks, there will still be various discomforts, and in severe cases, there may be a possibility of illness. If there is malnutrition caused by weaning, the likelihood of illness will greatly increase. So on the one hand, we need to increase the supply of various complementary foods, vegetables, and fruits. On the other hand, it is necessary to gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, rather than abruptly stopping it one day.
