Is there any scientific weaning method recommended for a four-month-old baby?

The baby is 4 months old, and mothers are ready to start weaning the baby. So what is the best way to wean a baby over 4 months old? It is emphasized that experts should pay attention to scientific methods when weaning babies.

How to wean a four-month-old baby? Gradually reducing the number of feedings can reduce the amount of milk for the baby by one meal a day, and the amount of complementary food will be increased accordingly. After a week, if the mother feels that the baby is digesting and absorbing well, she can reduce the amount of milk by one meal and increase the amount of complementary food at the same time. Gradually transition to weaning. When the baby first starts to reduce breast milk, the baby will be very attached to the mother's milk, so it is best to start with milk fed during the day. Because there are many things that attract the baby during the day, he does not pay special attention to the mother, but the baby is particularly attached to the mother in the morning and evening.

It is necessary to give full play to the role of the father and reduce the baby's dependence on the mother in advance. Before weaning, the mother can consciously reduce the time she spends with the baby and increase the time the father spends taking care of the baby. This will make weaning easier.

When mothers are preparing to wean their babies, they should take their babies to a health care practitioner for a comprehensive physical examination. Only when the baby is healthy and has normal digestion can weaning be considered. Don't wean when your baby is sick. If the baby happens to be sick, teething, or the nanny changes, moves, travels, or the mother has to go to work, it is best not to wean the baby first, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of weaning the baby. During the weaning period, the mother should pay special attention to and take care of the baby, spend more time with the baby, soothe the baby's anxiety, and avoid hiding and letting others feed the baby in order to quickly wean.

During the weaning process, the mother must not only let the baby gradually adapt to the changes in diet, but also act resolutely. She cannot make up her mind just because the baby cries for a while, thereby delaying the weaning time. Don't stop suddenly. Let him eat for a few days and then suddenly stop. This will repeatedly bring bad emotional stimulation to the baby. In addition, four months to six months is the best time for babies to add complementary foods. Some complementary foods can be added appropriately to assist the baby in weaning.
