Can a twelfth month baby quit breast milk?

Hello, the questions are answered as follows:

It is not good to wean in December.

The baby doesn't adapt

In winter, when the days are short and the nights are long, the baby will feel hungry. The baby must not suddenly adapt to the needs of weaning. The key to weaning at night is to stick to it step by step, and the baby will gradually develop the habit of sleeping all night and forget the night milk.

Susceptible diseases

Winter is the peak of the occurrence and prevalence of respiratory infectious diseases, which is easy to make children catch a cold, acute pharyngitis and even pneumonia. When a child is sick, his appetite will be more seriously affected, and his resistance will be reduced, which will repeatedly cause a vicious circle and seriously affect his growth and development. Moreover, 10- 12 months old children's digestive system is not fully developed, and their teeth are not complete, so they can't chew and digest food well. Adding complementary food is also limited by cold weather and seasons.

When is the best time to wean?

The best season for weaning: spring and autumn

After the Spring and Autumn Period, the days are long, the nights are short, the baby sleeps less at night, and there is no need to add meals in the middle, so it is easier for the baby to safely transition to the weaning period. It is cold in winter, and babies are prone to respiratory diseases. The weather is hot in summer, and the baby has a poor appetite. In addition, digestive tract diseases are prone to occur this season. Weaning during this period, especially when the body is out of date, will prolong the onset time, children will not eat well and lose weight.
