For infants, weaning is an essential but very painful part of the growth process. When a child cries during weaning, parents feel sorry. They are afraid that their child will feel uncomfortable if they suddenly stop breastfeeding, but they also feel that they cannot give up weaning their baby just because of temporary weakness. So, what should we do if a one and a half year old baby with no night milk rolls over?
What should I do if a one and a half year old baby who is breastfeeding at night rolls over
The beginning of everything is difficult. Generally, the first night is passed, and the second night is much better. The baby can almost sleep the whole night on the third night. Although they may still wake up once in the middle of the night, the time to coax them to sleep can also be significantly shortened. Parents should pay attention to having a full meal before their baby goes to bed, comfort their baby before bedtime, and read picture books to shift their attention.
What are the good ways for babies to stop breastfeeding at night
It is necessary to plan and arrange for babies to develop the habit of not drinking milk at night.
1. Mothers can gradually reduce the frequency of feeding their babies at night to help them get used to it.
2. To prevent the baby from waking up hungry, the last feeding before going to bed at night should be delayed, and the baby should be fully fed before being urged to sleep.
3. If the baby wakes up crying in the middle of the night, do not breastfeed him. Mom should understand that as long as she eats enough before going to bed, her baby will not be hungry. Be patient and soothe the baby, gently tapping them with your hands to put them to sleep.
4. Even if he's hungry, it's okay. Sleeping won't consume too much energy, just give him some water to drink.
Every breastfeeding mother will face the same problem as their baby grows up, which is weaning them. In order to successfully prevent the baby from feeding anymore, mothers often use various methods, such as applying some unpleasant odors to the nipples or suddenly separating from the baby for a period of time and forcing weaning. Such practices are very wrong and may not only lose the child's trust in the mother, but also cause psychological trauma to the child. What a child needs most during weaning is the company and care of their mother. With the care of their mother, the baby can smoothly pass through the weaning period.
