After a child is born, their body's nutrition comes from breast milk or formula milk. The child's body develops rapidly, so they need a lot of nutritional support. Many children drink milk before going to bed because their stomach capacity is relatively small, and they are usually fed in small amounts multiple times, which can easily cause hunger. However, when can children stop drinking milk at night?
Children can stop drinking milk at night after the age of one. Although there are certain differences in the development of each child, in most cases, after the child reaches one year old, they do not need to eat night milk at night. But parents should not suddenly stop breastfeeding their children at night, as the children may not adapt well and forced weaning may affect their physical development. Therefore, it should be done gradually and not too hastily.
One year old children can already add complementary foods. They can add rich foods such as minced meat, egg custard, and green vegetables to their three meals a day. At this time, most of them should be steamed and boiled in a pot to maintain a light diet or stewed into soup. Be careful not to add too many seasonings and control the salt content to avoid burden on the kidneys.
When children sleep at night, the temperature in the bedroom should be kept reasonable to prevent them from catching a cold or sleeping unsteadily due to high temperatures. In summer, it is best to keep it at 26 degrees Celsius. Curtains can be drawn in the room to avoid strong light from irritating the eyes.
