Can I wean my baby during the summer heat?

You can wean your baby during the Beginning of Autumn. This is after the Beginning of Autumn and the temperature will be much cooler than before the Beginning of Autumn, so your baby will be more adaptable to weaning.

First of all, weaning should be done in spring or autumn, avoiding winter and summer when it is easy to get sick. The weather is hot in August, so it is recommended to wean the baby in October when the weather is cooler! Choose a time when the baby is in good health and the family life is stable. Avoid times when the baby is sick, frightened, needs vaccinations, changes in the person who takes care of the baby, moves, or when the mother is on a business trip.

Time for weaning

The best time for weaning is generally 6-8 months (it is easy for babies to wean during this period, and mothers also have enough time to work)

It is generally the first choice for housewives. The weaning time is: 9-12 months (babies who are weaned at this stage are used to eating complementary foods. If they are weaned before the milk has no nutritional value, the iron content in the baby's body will be more sufficient and the baby is not prone to anemia.

The preferred weaning time for working people is 5-6 months, and it can also be weaned 4 months earlier. During this stage, the mother may be busy with work, and the baby can get used to other milks. If the body is not uncomfortable, weaning can be done.

Weaning methods

1. Gradual weaning: If your baby is very dependent on breast milk, rapid weaning may make your baby uncomfortable. If you attach great importance to breastfeeding and stay with your baby every day, you may feel lost if you suddenly wean your baby. Therefore, you can adopt a gradual weaning method. Gradually reduce the number of feedings, shorten the feeding time, and pay attention to eating less soup and milk-producing foods, so that the milk secretion gradually decreases and even disappears.

2. Eat less breast milk and more milk. When you start weaning, you can give your baby some formula milk or fresh whole milk every day. It should be noted that you should try to encourage your baby to drink more milk, but as long as he wants to drink breast milk, the mother should not refuse him.

3. Stop feeding before bedtime and at night. Most babies have the habit of feeding in the middle of the night and before going to bed at night. Babies are very active during the day, so it is relatively easy not to feed them. The most difficult thing to stop is probably feeding before bedtime and in the middle of the night. You can stop feeding at night first, and then stop feeding before bedtime. At this time, the active cooperation of the father or family members is needed. When the baby is sleeping, the father or family members can coax the baby to sleep, and the mother can stay away for a while. The baby will definitely cry and make a fuss at the beginning when he can't see his mother, but he will have no more thoughts and will go to bed after a little coaxing. Weaning will be a struggle for a few days at the beginning, until the baby's fuss becomes less severe each time, until one day, the baby will lie down and sleep obediently without much fuss before going to bed, and will not wake up in the middle of the night. Well, congratulations, you have won the first battle of weaning.
