If babies have to breastfeed frequently at night, mothers will not be able to sleep peacefully. So gradually changing the baby's habit of loving to eat night milk, you can let the baby eat enough before going to bed. When the baby wakes up at night, you can pat them to help them fall asleep again. So, how many times is it considered normal for a four month old baby to have night milk?
A normal four month old baby only needs to eat night milk once. One hour before bedtime, let the baby eat enough to reduce the feeling of hunger during sleep. Four month old babies are not allowed to add complementary foods yet. They can wait until six months to add them. When adding, you can let the baby eat some food before bedtime and adjust the baby's diet according to their appetite. Then, from 3 to 4 in the morning, feed the baby once more and gradually transition back in time to stop night feeding.
At the age of 4 months, mothers should help their babies in a planned way and gradually reduce the frequency of night milk, so that the baby can gradually develop a habit of no longer relying on breast milk at night. But if the development of the baby's height and weight does not meet the standards due to reducing the frequency of night milk, it needs to be handled appropriately.
Furthermore, abstaining from night milk is a test for babies, and even more difficult for mothers because they tend to become soft hearted. When a mother makes up her mind to help her baby quit breastfeeding at night, she must have perseverance and not let the cessation of breastfeeding be delayed because of the baby's crying.
