During the weaning stage, many families tend to focus their attention on their babies, forgetting that mothers also experience significant discomfort, both physically and mentally. Mothers need a process of adaptation and careful care. So, what are the precautions for breastfeeding mothers?
It is best to choose weaning when the baby is 12 months old, because during this period, the baby's digestive function is already mature and the demand for food will be relatively high. In addition to breast milk, the baby can adapt to food. During the weaning process, it is important to be mentally prepared. Mothers should maintain close communication with their babies, and not only do babies need to adapt, but mothers also need to adapt. After all, after weaning, the interaction between mothers and babies will enter a new stage.
Weaning a baby can distract attention through other foods and things, but the mother's milk will not disappear immediately, so it is necessary to take good care of the breasts. When weaning, you can take some lactation medicine. If there is breast milk swelling, you should use a breast pump to suck out the breast milk to prevent it from accumulating in the breast and causing lumps, which not only cause pain but also lead to breast diseases.
During the weaning stage, the mother's diet can be adjusted to avoid consuming foods that are conducive to milk production, allowing milk to gradually stop secreting. When weaning, not only should the baby be taken care of with care, but the mother also needs it. Moreover, both mothers and babies can have psychological differences, so family members should not forget to pay attention to the mother's health and mood when paying attention to the baby's health and mood.
