Breast milk has comprehensive nutrition and is also the last food for babies. But by the time the baby is one year old, only breastfeeding is no longer sufficient for nutrition, and it is necessary to weaning the baby. The process of weaning is relatively long, and babies may experience crying and other symptoms during weaning. So let's learn together how to weaning a baby at one year old?
A one year old baby can already understand a lot of things, so they can communicate with the baby after weaning. Firstly, prepare milk powder in advance for the baby to gradually adapt to the formula. Then reduce the frequency of feeding and breastfeed the baby twice a day to once a day. During the day, try to let the baby only eat milk once, which can help the baby with formula and complementary foods. During the day, they can shift their focus. At first, babies rely more on breast milk at night, which allows them to sleep with their fathers and makes weaning easier.
Mothers should slowly weaned their babies and not force them to do so, in order to avoid creating psychological trauma for the babies. Mothers should also observe the physical condition of their babies before weaning them, and avoid weaning them during periods of illness or when their digestive function is poor, as it may affect their development. Weaning a one year old baby should not be done in the summer, as it can easily cause internal heat.
If the baby is weaned at the age of one, the mother should also have a way to do it and not let the baby cry, which will affect their development. The process of weaning is also not easy, so you can let the father take care of the baby first, and the mother will reduce her intimacy with the baby in the next few days.
