Weaning a child is a long and difficult process for every mother. Weaning a child is uncomfortable, and in fact, the mother is also very affected. But when children grow up, they must be weaned, and the timing of weaning varies for each child, so mothers need to know how to properly weaned their children. So, what is the age of weaning?
Although breast milk is rich in nutrients, when children grow and develop to 10 months old, their nutritional needs will be better. However, breast milk can no longer fully meet the needs of children, so it is not enough to only drink breast milk, but to obtain more nutrients from other foods.
The slowest weaning time for a child should not exceed one year old. Failure to breastfeed the child in a timely manner can easily lead to a love for breast milk. Once dependence occurs, it is difficult for the child to breastfeed, and the child is unwilling to eat complementary foods, which can easily lead to malnutrition and be very detrimental to growth and development. However, breastfeeding requires a lot of nutrition and energy, and mothers who breastfeed for a long time are prone to endocrine disorders, leading to menstrual irregularities. Breastfeeding can be done in autumn, which has a pleasant climate and is the best season for children to breastfeed.
What are the methods for weaning?
1. Fast weaning: The fastest weaning time is sometimes only three or four days, and many objective reasons can lead to successful weaning. For example, if the mother needs to travel or cannot breastfeed during the day, the child may also lose breast milk.
2. Sequential weaning: Some babies may take a week or even several months to successfully weaned, depending on their dependence on breast milk. During weaning, mothers should not stay with their children all the time and gradually reduce breastfeeding. Instead, they should use complementary foods to help the baby adapt to other foods.
