Weaning means weaning. From 10 to 12, the baby's diet should have basically transitioned to complex diet, where meat, eggs, milk, grain and vegetables are the mainstay, and the pattern of three meals a day has begun to take shape. In order to get enough nutrition for the baby's physical development, it is time to wean the baby. Nevertheless, milk is still an important part of your baby's diet, and you should ensure that you consume more than 500 ml of milk every day. Breast milk can be reduced to once a night until it stops completely and is replaced by milk. At this time, the baby can eat a lot of food, but because the molars haven't come out yet, the food can't be chewed very carefully, so the baby's food should be soft and rotten to facilitate the baby's digestion and absorption. The staple food can be porridge, soft rice, noodles, steamed bread, steamed stuffed bun, jiaozi, wonton and so on. Non-staple food can eat fresh vegetables (especially orange-green vegetables), fish, meat, eggs, animal offal and bean products, and should also eat some seafood such as kelp and laver frequently. In short, after complete weaning, the baby's daily diet should contain six nutrients: carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, inorganic salts and water, so as to avoid simplifying the diet and reasonably mix various foods to meet the needs of the baby's growth and development. At this time, we should pay special attention to cultivate the baby's good eating habits and avoid the habit of picky eaters, partial eclipse and snacks. Some babies will refuse to accept milk for a while because of Oedipus milk, so they need to be given an adaptation process. Mother's milk and milk are mixed for a period of time, and gradually let him accept milk and other foods, thus cutting off mother's milk. At the same time, we should pay attention to the nutritional supplement of such babies during weaning to prevent the baby from affecting his health due to breastfeeding. If you really want to wean your child, don't make up your mind yet. Please ask yourself a question first: Have you just started breastfeeding and considered weaning because of some difficulties? Maybe you want to breastfeed for a longer time, but your body really feels uncomfortable or a little overwhelmed. If so, we would like to remind you that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, breastfeeding for at least one year is very beneficial to your baby. So, don't make a decision in a hurry, you can ask the experts for help first when you encounter difficulties. Tip: It is not advisable to wean your baby in summer. Gastrointestinal diseases are prevalent in summer. Weaning in this period has changed children's eating habits. Children are prone to get sick, which will affect their appetite and greatly reduce their food intake, which is not conducive to their growth and development, and even harmful to their health. With the increasing social pressure, the proportion of young urban mothers eager to wean is relatively high. I don't want to take full maternity leave for work. Just feeding the baby to the "full moon", I can't wait to give up breastfeeding. Today is the first day of International Feeding Week. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed an expert from the nursing department of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The expert advised young mothers not to wean their children in a hurry. Now it is hot summer, and the weaning time should be postponed. "My baby 1 1 month, I am worried about whether I should wean now?" "I started menstruating when the baby was more than 7 months old. Some people say that my milk has gone bad, so don't continue to feed the baby, but wean it. Should I break it? ..... "Recently, women often call the obstetrics department of this hospital to ask about weaning. Obstetricians will answer that they should not be weaned in summer. Experts said that because breast milk is an ideal food for babies, it not only provides correct nutrition, but also contains white blood cells and protein, which helps to overcome gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and ear canal infections. Summer is the season when gastrointestinal diseases prevail. Weaning in this period has changed children's eating habits, and children are prone to illness, which will affect their appetite, greatly reduce their food intake and damage their health. The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates that babies should be breastfed until they are one year old. The U.S. Secretary of Health also believes that it is lucky to feed children until they are two years old. With the increasing social pressure, a high proportion of young mothers in cities are eager to wean, and they are unwilling to take full maternity leave for work. Just after feeding the baby to the "full moon", I can't wait to give up breastfeeding. There are also some mothers who choose to give up breast-feeding their babies and eat milk powder in order to lose the fat grown during pregnancy and keep fit. Song Zhijie, director of the nursing department, advised these mothers not to rush to wean their babies. Because breastfeeding generally does not affect the mother's figure. However, with the growth of age, the body's own endocrine changes, the body's elastic tissue declines, and there will be sagging breasts. In this case, timely and adequate breastfeeding can alleviate breast fullness. The baby's sucking will also stimulate the breast tissue of the mother's breast. The more external stimuli the breast tissue receives, the more developed it will be. In addition, breastfeeding is actually a process that consumes a lot of heat energy and can play a role in "slimming". Before delivery, pregnant women will store about 36,000 calories for breastfeeding. If pregnant women do not breastfeed after delivery, these calories will not be distributed, which is not only not conducive to fitness, but also easy to gain weight. If your child is a few months old and you plan to wean him, please reconfirm your reasons: Do you feel that breastfeeding has become a burden for you? You can hardly go out alone? You may think that weaning can give you and your baby more free space, change the unchanging pace of life and eliminate the feeling of being trapped? If so, take the baby out for a walk first. It will be helpful to choose an easy-to-use baby back towel. Fresh air and sunshine are the best decompression drugs. Make more mom friends like you and get together once a month. Or just sending emails will make you feel connected with the outside world. Is your family putting too much pressure on you? Those who don't try to stick to breastfeeding don't fully understand the great benefits this can bring to their babies. Adequate and correct knowledge of breastfeeding should help you resist these pressures. Remember: you can find relevant information in many places (including the International Breastfeeding Association), so don't be afraid to ask questions. Do you think weaning can make your life easier? Then, please look at the reality objectively. Although weaned, you still have to feed your baby. If the child is less than one year old, you need to spend a lot of time and energy to adapt him to the bottle and formula. Although weaned, children still need you as before. His world is getting bigger and bigger, full of confusion, irritability and complicated information. He needs your comfort and security. If you really feel exhausted, you can try to get more help (you have the right to get help). Ask your mother to come and stay with you for a while, or ask an experienced nanny to let you rest more. Well, if you have read the above words carefully and decided to wean your baby after careful consideration, what you need to do now is to find a step-by-step method suitable for your child and help your baby (and yourself) to complete this change with tenderness and love. Weaning should be a gentle process full of love. The best weaning process should be gentle, gradual and full of love. We don't agree with the "sudden weaning" method adopted by some mothers. Mother will not only have breast pain, but even get mastitis. Babies must also painfully adapt to the transition from your warm and soft breasts to cold plastic bottles. He will be very sad because he lost his breasts. If your baby is under 1 year-old: consider canceling the least important breast milk for your baby first. If you feed him with a bottle and he doesn't accept it (he must know that "his" breasts are nearby because he can smell you), he can try to feed him by his father or grandmother. It is best to cancel breast milk every once in a while and replace it with a bottle. This "time period" may be days or weeks. If you feel uncomfortable with your breasts, you can squeeze them out properly. Note: it is only partially extruded, not completely extruded. This can send a signal to your body and gradually reduce the "output" of breast milk. If your baby is one year old or older: you may not need a bottle to make the transition. All you have to do is stop breastfeeding. "Don't offer, don't refuse" should be a more appropriate principle. You can also use a glass of water, fruit juice or complementary food instead of the least important breast-feeding meal for children. Maybe dad (or other relatives) can take the baby to the kitchen and feed him a special, daddy-style breakfast. The advantage of this is that dad and children have their own special time, so you can sleep for an extra hour. As for dinner, try to let him eat other food first, and then breast-feed him for a while. When breastfeeding, avoid sitting where you used to sit. If the child refuses to sleep in the afternoon without breast milk, it may be helpful to take him out for a walk.
