Question

At What Age Can a Baby Stop Taking Night Milk?

Answer

Generally, by one week old, a baby can gradually and appropriately increase complementary foods, which is the time to consider weaning. It’s important to correctly handle the addition of nutritional supplements, vitamins, and trace elements, and maintain good living habits. It is recommended to take oral or external Chinese medicine weaning drugs, which may also have a better effect. For example, roasted malt can be decocted in water and taken warm in three doses; or a bowl of soy milk with a little white sugar; or first express the milk, use nitrate of potash, place it in a gauze bag, and apply it externally to the breasts. It needs to be changed immediately after it becomes damp.
