Around half a month old, babies start to stick to their mothers, and this trend becomes increasingly severe with age. This condition is called separation anxiety, but it can be alleviated. Next, the editor will introduce what to do if a nine month old baby is particularly clingy to their mother. I hope it can bring some help to everyone.
What should I do if my 9-month-old baby is particularly clingy to my mother
A nine month old baby's dependence on their mother has reached its peak, so it is best to allow the baby to interact with others as much as possible. When the mother needs to leave the baby temporarily, she should tell the baby that she will be back soon to give them a sense of security.
Key points for feeding a 9-month-old baby
Breast milk has always been the most economical and best food we advocate, but during the period of 8-9 months, the quality of breast milk decreases, resulting in its nutritional content not meeting the needs of babies. So during this period, it is advocated to replace breast milk with formula milk and increase the proportion of nutritional milk substitutes.
The selection of nutritional milk substitutes is very important, as it should meet the nutritional needs of babies while avoiding excessive intake of nutrients that can lead to obesity.
In principle, breastfeeding for more than 12 months is advocated, but due to individual differences, not every mother can achieve it. If the baby completes milk replacement at this stage, in terms of nutrition, mothers should provide the baby with milk replacers in various ways.
Generally speaking, during this period, the baby's diet is: breastfed milk powder three times a day, at 6am, 2pm, and 10pm, each time about 250ml.
In addition, two complementary foods should be added, which can be arranged at 10am and 6pm. The content of complementary foods should be diversified to make babies interested in eating and have balanced nutrition. During this period, you can also arrange to eat some fruits or puree. Attention should be paid to the supplementation of inorganic salts and trace elements in food pairing.
After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone knows what to do if a nine month old baby is particularly clingy to their mother. I hope the mother can handle the baby's clingy emotions correctly. It is necessary to adapt. In addition, a nine month old baby should not only pay attention to emotional issues, but also keep up with nutritional issues. I hope parents can pay full attention to their child's growth in all aspects.
