Many mothers who insist on breastfeeding their babies actually hope that their babies can sleep more soundly at night, and they don't have to get up frequently in the middle of the night to breastfeed. Therefore, they really want to break the habit of breastfeeding their babies at night, but they still don't know how to do it correctly. As it is important to cut off night milk for babies, the following article will introduce the scientific methods for cutting off night milk for 2-year-old babies.
What is the scientific method for 2-year-old babies to stop breastfeeding at night
Firstly, during the meal before the baby goes to bed, it is important to give the baby more food, especially grains and animal based foods, which can prolong the digestion time in the baby's stomach and prevent hunger.
Secondly, if the baby wakes up at night, they can be fed some water appropriately or coaxed. If the baby is not used to it at first, they can gradually increase the amount of water and reduce the amount of milk. This gradually helps the baby develop a habit of not eating night milk.
What are the hazards of long-term night milk consumption for 2-year-old babies
1. Obesity
There is a saying that goes' a horse without night grass is not fat ', and this person is also similar. Eating too much at night can easily lead to obesity. However, if the mother always likes to let the baby sleep with milk and continues to eat night milk for a long time, it can lead to excessive feeding, resulting in the baby becoming obese.
Obesity in babies is not only a problem of poor appearance, but also affects their digestion and absorption, leading to premature brain failure and intellectual disability. When the baby grows up, it will also increase the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other diseases.
2. Dental caries
Another harm of long-term night milk is that babies are prone to tooth decay. Because the baby goes to bed after finishing night milk, parents rarely have the habit of cleaning the baby's mouth after feeding night milk, which can easily cause bacterial growth, corrode the baby's teeth, and lead to dental caries. However, dental caries in babies not only affect the health of their baby teeth and the development of their chewing function, but also lead to overuse of the tooth roots due to damage to the baby teeth, resulting in unstable permanent teeth that may grow later on, which can have a lifelong impact on the baby.
That's all for the method of cutting off night milk for babies. If the baby eats night milk for a long time, it will not only affect the sleep of the baby and the mother, but may also make the baby obese, so it is not beneficial for the baby. It is recommended that mothers break the habit of breastfeeding their children at night at the appropriate time and learn to use the correct methods to weaning their babies.
