The best time to weaned a baby is usually around two years old, when the baby has adapted to most complementary foods and is ready to be weaned. During the process of weaning, it is even more important to take very careful care of the baby, treating weaning as a natural process. If conditions permit, it is also possible to wait until the baby no longer needs to breastfeed. So how to naturally weaned a baby?
1. Reduce the amount of baby feeding during the day first, and then reduce the amount at night
At the beginning of reducing milk intake for babies, they will show a strong attachment to breast milk, making it relatively easier to quit breastfeeding during the day. During the day, mothers should play some small games with their babies to attract their attention, which will make the weaning effect more significant.
2. Reduce babies' dependence on mothers
Babies rely on breast milk, on one hand for feeding, and on the other hand, they will have more security and intimacy during the process of sucking. So when planning to weaned their baby, mothers should ask other caregivers to spend more time with the baby, thereby reducing their dependence on mothers and being more conducive to the success of weaning.
3. Make up your mind when weaning
Delaying weaning a baby can lead to emotional instability. During weaning, parents should have enough patience to comfort their baby's negative emotions and not let breastfeeding happen again, in order to ensure successful weaning.
