After birth, babies need to be breastfed not only during the day but also multiple times at night. As the baby gradually grows up and enters the weaning period, night feeding will gradually decrease. However, after weaning, formula milk powder is still needed. So, is it good for a one year old child to drink formula milk powder in the middle of the night?
After weaning, babies need to continue formula feeding, and at this time, they still have a need for night milk, which is a bad habit. So we need to gradually change the bad habit of babies eating night milk.
Generally, it is necessary to gradually start by reducing the frequency of night feeding, for example, from feeding two to three times a night, to feeding once or twice, then gradually reducing to once, and finally not feeding night milk at all. Of course, during this period, the baby may experience crying, restless sleep, and other symptoms. Therefore, as parents, it is necessary to provide timely comfort to the baby. Eating night milk after the baby turns one year old can be detrimental to their physical health and development.
Because after one year old, babies' food has gradually diversified. If they frequently eat night milk, they will not eat well during the day, resulting in a relatively single nutrition. Over time, this can easily lead to insufficient nutrient intake and excessive weight loss. So in order to help babies quit breastfeeding at night, it is necessary to make complementary foods that are delicious and nutritious, which will be more attractive to babies and also have a good helping effect on quitting breastfeeding at night.
