Autumn is not hot or cold, it is a good time for babies to wean their babies. Many mothers choose to wean their babies in autumn.
It’s just that weaning a baby can’t just look at the season, and there are a lot of specialties, such as the timing and method of weaning . Mom must figure it out in advance and don’t make mistakes about the health of the baby.
Here are 3 weaning misunderstandings that I have sorted out. If you have one, you can change it, and if you don’t, you can reluctantly.
Misunderstanding 1: Weaning at any time in autumn
Comparing summer and winter, autumn is indeed the golden period of weaning.
Too hot in summer, children are not only easy to get angry, but also have poor gastrointestinal digestion ability. A little carelessness can easily cause stomach, intestine, and disease. Diseases; too cold in winter, children have poor resistance, and are easy to catch colds and colds. In addition, the night is long and the day is short, so Bao Ma cannot take her baby out to divert her attention, which is more difficult than in other seasons.
However, this does not mean that after autumn, all babies can be weaned at any time.
Weaning babies depend on the timing. Such as the baby's age in months, physical and psychological conditions.
①Baby month age
" Sears Intimate Parenting Encyclopedia " mentioned in the book: Nutritionists and physicians recommend breastfeeding at least until the baby is 1 year old.
is emphasized for one year, mainly for two reasons: first, 0-1 years old is the baby’s oral period , they need _strong14 to obtain safety and satisfaction by sucking. The RU room is their favorite thing to suck. If they can meet their needs for sucking their mother's RU room, they will be more satisfied and happier. second, is about 1 year old, the baby’s gastrointestinal function is relatively perfect, They not only accept a variety of complementary foods, but their sensitivity to food has also improved . At this time, weaning can obtain adequate nutrition and health through complementary foods and milk powder. development.
Of course, if conditions permit, the baby can also be weaned after 2 years old.
②Baby's body
The baby cannot be weaned during the period of discomfort and teething; if the baby is "separated" from his family, weaning must be delayed. Take "separation" as an example. Separation includes but is not limited to mothers going to work and changing to a new nanny... Sudden "separation" will make the baby feel bad, insecure, and need mother's comfort. rashly weaned only It will make them more anxious and insecure.
③Baby psychology
Psychologist believes that,Weaning is the second "mother-infant separation". If you don't prepare well in advance, both the mother and the baby will be very injured. Before weaning, both mother and baby must be mentally prepared. For example: Before weaning, let the baby have more contact with his family. to obtain safety and happiness from grandparents, grandparents, and fathers, which can alleviate the irritability and anxiety during weaning.
When weaning, the baby will definitely cry and restlessly. Mom must be psychologically prepared. In addition to taking extra care, she must stand firm and never be soft-hearted. Unless you encounter special circumstances, such as your baby's illness and uncomfortable health, don't give up halfway through.
Misunderstanding 2: "Mother-infant separation" weaning
Some mothers worry that they are soft-hearted and will be isolated from their babies for 1-2 weeks, and wait until the baby is successfully weaned. This method looks good, but it hurts the baby's physical and mental health.
My son is weaned by "separation of mother and child". At that time, my mother was hospitalized, and I was accompanied by the provincial hospital, so he could only be forced to wean him. In the 7 days we were separated, my son hardly ate or drank, and lost a few catties. After seeing me, he kept staring at me and shed tears. Later, he suffered from psychological gluttony and kept on constantly. Eat, continue to eat after vomiting. After patiently accompanied him for seven or eight days, his diet returned to normal.
Psychologists call weaning the second "mother-infant separation" , they believe that is not "cutting off" the intimate connection between the baby and the mother.It is a symbol of the baby's "growth". For babies, weaning is inherently a painful thing and requires more care from mothers, such as helping them prepare new food, taking them out to play, and giving them a sense of security and pleasure.
If Bao’s mother blindly pursues speed and wean her baby "separated from mother and child", will not only increase the pressure on the baby, but also make the baby fall into the fear of losing her mother, which will seriously undermine the baby’s sense of security .
This is also the main reason why many babies cry, tantrum and refuse to accept their mothers after they are successfully weaned.
"deceptive" weaning is also undesirable, such as applying chili, bitter gourd juice , purple syrup on the RU head... After the baby has eaten it, he is irritated by the "strange taste" so that he does not dare to eat it again . This method is also easy to leave a psychological shadow on the baby.
Therefore, when Baoma is weaning her baby, she must adopt the scientific, gentle, and gradual method.
Misunderstanding 3: "break" at the same time during the day and night
to wean the baby,Don't rush. For the weaning step, it is recommended that it depends on the situation. Some babies are older and more than 2 years old and can be weaned at the same time; some babies are in their early 1s and are still dependent on breast milk and can be weaned in stages .
My niece was weaned at 1 year old. She was . She was broken off during the day and then at night.
At that time, my sister-in-law was at work and had to go home at noon every day to feed her breasts. When weaning, she skipped the noon milk. My mother took her niece out to play every day, and the child's attention was diverted and she simply forgot about drinking breast milk.
Weaning at night also needs to be done step by step. Before eating twice a night, now postpone the time, first merge the two into one, and then slowly cancel the one. Weaning at night mainly depends on the father, because the mother has the smell, the baby is easy to be greedy when smelling the smell, and it is better for the father to sleep.
Some babies sleep very well at night, and breastfeeding in the middle of the night is just a habit of "eating" two bites. Mom can also to break at night and then break .
If the baby is young and needs to drink breast milk during the day and night, it can also be "broken" at the same time. For example, for babies of six or seven months old, Bao Ma can reduce the frequency of breast milk, turning 4 breast milk into 3 breast milk, 1 milk powder, then 2 breast milk, 2 milk powder... and gradually replace breast milk with milk powder. Take the baby out to play during the day,If you are hungry, use the bottle to feed the milk powder directly. The same is true at night, where the father comforts the baby and feeds the baby milk powder.
Note that weaning should not be separated from the mother and the baby, and should not be borne by Bao Ma.
If the father is at home, the job of bringing the baby can be handed over to the father, playing with the baby during the day, and soothing the crying baby at night; if the father is not at home, find the most familiar woman, whether it is grandma or grandma, as long as the baby is familiar , And just accept it.
With the help of a family, weaning will be easy and smooth!
Ding Ma's speech
The cool weather in autumn is the "golden period" for weaning babies, but weaning is not a trivial matter. There are many issues that need attention, especially the three mentioned above. It's easy to pit your baby's health once you make a mistake. Have you learned it all? It is recommended that Baoma collect and study early, so as to avoid rushing to make mistakes when weaning.
