The habit of breastfeeding at night is a continuation of the baby's life in the mother's body, regardless of day and night. If the baby is weaned off at night, it can also be a difficult task. But a 2-year-old baby can sleep all night just like adults, and there are many dangers of night milk. So let's learn together how 2-year-old babies can overcome frequent night feedings.
1. Adjustment of feeding time. Babies usually wake up three to four hours after falling asleep and want to have night milk. Parents can pat their babies to sleep when they wake up this time, using this method to delay until early morning as much as possible, and then push them from early morning to early morning, and so on. Gradually, the baby will accept it and there will be no frequent night milk. If the baby cannot fall asleep, they can be fed with water.
2. Different sleeping positions are beneficial for promoting sleep. When a baby wakes up at night, there may not necessarily be a need for night milk. Changing the baby's sleeping position can make them feel comfortable and quickly fall asleep.
3. Have the determination to overcome night milk. Usually, many mothers cannot bear to give their babies night milk, fearing that it may delay their growth. In fact, this kind of concern is unnecessary. If you persist once or twice and can't bear to persist afterwards, then quitting next time may be even more difficult.
4. Feed the baby with sufficient complementary foods and milk before bedtime. It is not recommended to overeat a baby's bedtime diet. But if the baby doesn't have enough to eat, night milk will be more frequent. Therefore, mothers can let their babies eat complementary foods before going to bed, then add a small amount of milk and play for a while to promote digestion before falling asleep. In this way, babies who eat night milk will alleviate or delay their symptoms.
