Question
How can you quickly help a little baby wean?
Answer
The method of weaning involves gradually reducing the number of breastfeedings, such as from four times a day to three, then two, and finally one, until the baby no longer consumes breast milk. At the same time, start introducing soft rice, buns, noodles, and various dishes as staple foods to replace the number of breastfeedings. This not only promotes the development of their taste buds but also trains their oral motor functions, teaching them how to eat thick and solid foods. Additionally, it allows them to obtain more energy and nutrients from the same volume of food. Furthermore, while reducing breast milk, it is important to increase a certain amount of formula milk or cow’s milk. Remember that weaning refers to the cessation of breast milk, not all milk products.
