Complementary food: The complementary food before 1 year-old can be called "snacks" to see if children have physical allergies and increase their interest in foods other than milk. Milk is the main food to ensure the growth and development of children before the age of/kloc-0.
Night milk: Night milk refers to feeding between 12 and 6 o'clock the next day. Usually a 7-month-old baby needs a night milk. Children wake up in the middle of the night to eat milk. If it is to meet their own growth needs, parents must first meet them. My children are weaned at night after 9 months, once every night between 7 and 9 months.
What's more, eating too much before going to bed is not conducive to children falling asleep, and it will increase the risk of dental caries. Besides, no one can eat tomorrow's dinner in advance. Therefore, it is not recommended to add complementary food before children go to bed.
Parenting motto: If you want your child to be safe, let him be full and cold. If normal adults eat too much before going to bed, they may find it difficult to fall asleep because of abdominal distension, and even have indigestion, not to mention a 7-month-old baby. But if you don't eat enough, your baby can easily wake up in the middle of the night. So, how can we make the baby better cut off the night milk?
First of all, we should recommend pediatrician Cui Yutao's "step by step method": by gradually reducing the frequency of night milk, let children gradually adapt to the night when they don't eat night milk.
1, Does the baby sleep regularly? The more regular the baby sleeps, the easier it is to accept weaning. And cultivating a baby's regular sleep habits needs to start from birth. If the child sleeps irregularly for 7 months, then it is recommended to give the child a good sleep first (sharpening the knife and not cutting wood by mistake).
2, the baby's night milk frequency 1 time or occasionally do not eat: generally speaking, the 7-month-old baby needs only one night milk frequency, but it varies from person to person. It is best if children are used to night milk, or can't eat night milk occasionally.
3, night milk analysis: according to the mother's understanding of the number and time of breastfeeding, analyze which night milk is not hungry, these night milk can be used; Which ones are really hungry and need night milk, these must be kept. It is not because you are hungry that you need to eat milk, but only because you need to find the reason: uncomfortable, hot and cold, or habitually want to suck.
1 Choose a suitable time period to start regulating the baby's night milk.
When the child is well, he will start to get rid of those unnecessary night milk time at night.
Let the baby eat enough before going to bed, let the baby eat more for a while, or give the baby more breast milk.
Extend the interval of feeding at night: according to the law, let the baby extend the interval of feeding appropriately, thus reducing the number of feeding. For example, 1 eat for 5 minutes, eat at 2:30 1 minute and eat at 3: 00 for 8 minutes. You can skip feeding at 2:30 and extend it to 3: 00, so that the baby can breathe twice more at 1.
However, the following periods need to be excluded: teething period (4-6 months, about 10 months), learning new skills (turning over, crawling, walking) and getting sick. Babies in these periods may have more demand for milk, which is a reasonable physiological demand.
Only the mother is fully familiar with the baby's laws, meets the baby's reasonable requirements for night milk, and gradually reduces the number of unnecessary night milk. Through the cooperation between the baby and herself, even if the baby does not eat it himself, the number of night milk can be reduced to 1 time. Then it is really a matter of course to break the milk at night.
Do a good job of family communication before weaning at night, so that the reserve army can undertake the work of accompanying sleep and comfort at night in time when the mother needs it. Especially in families with children, mothers need to do their fathers' ideological work well and choose a time that does not affect everyone's work. Avoid children crying, the father is angry because of children crying, and the mother fails to wean.
I want to tell breastfeeding mothers not to treat breastfeeding at night as a day, but as a necessary stage in the process of breastfeeding, so it takes time and can't be effective at once.
Important reminder: If you are really hungry, you need to be satisfied. Not everyone wakes up to nurse. If possible, let the baby sleep more. If the baby wakes up to play at night, please don't play with him Don't deliberately wake the baby to nurse. The child is not your own, so you should know how to ask for help and cooperate.
Breaking the baby's night milk is not an immediate thing, nor is it something that can be done. In fact, night milk is a habit that children gradually develop after birth. Some children break up easily, while others find it difficult, because the habits they developed before the night milk break are different.
Yes, you can eat a complementary food before going to bed, but the complementary food is light. Remember not to eat meat. Before going to bed at night, we usually have a light diet, mainly digestible.
After teets, stop feeding at night in time, which is harmful to children. Before, our neighbor's children fed at night for a long time, which led to dental caries. Finally, I have to fill my teeth and go back and forth, which makes my children very scared and my parents very tired. After many hospital examinations, his parents took time off to see their children, which led to family discord. Therefore, night milk can be broken for children in advance, which is of little significance to children.
According to people's physiological characteristics, there is no need to eat at night, and both the body and brain need adequate rest at night. Children's brains develop rapidly before 1 year. At the same time, brain cells are at the peak of division at night, and waking up many times will interrupt the development rhythm of brain cells, which is not conducive to the division of brain cells. At the same time, intermittent eating is not conducive to the development of teeth, bacteria are more vigorous, and the bacterial environment is more likely to breed.
Eating a complementary food before going to bed is to prevent children from being hungry in the middle of the night, which will lead to children waking up intermittently, which is not conducive to children's brain development and dental health.
I am a second-born mother with rich experience and knowledge in parenting. Please pay attention to the message and express your different opinions.
You can't. Even adults who eat midnight snack at night and sleep full will accumulate indigestion and so on, not to mention that babies drink enough milk before going to bed, wake up hungry halfway, delay satisfaction or hug them up to appease them, and slowly pull milk for a long night. If possible, find other family members to take care of the children for six or seven hours at night.
In my family, I always sleep with milk, especially at night. I wake up five or six hundred and seventy-eight times a night to look for milk, and I have to eat before I go to sleep. It's miserable. Later, I asked my grandmother to sleep with me and woke up habitually at night. Grandma patted me and hugged me, and the baby cried and fell asleep when he was tired. After a week or two, she knew that there was no milk to eat at night, so she quit seven or eight and didn't wake up at night. I took over the feeding at six o'clock in advance, and the baby has been sleeping for seven or eight hours. She was really hungry at this time, and then she continued to sleep until eight o'clock.
If you are breastfeeding, not breastfeeding at night will affect your baby, so try not to. Babies can only grow up by sleeping all night, and can't eat complementary food before going to bed. At night, the baby's stomach needs rest as much as adults, and milk is easier to digest than complementary food. Therefore, you must not let her eat complementary food and sleep in order to make her full. A child who often wakes up at night to eat night milk is either hungry or she is used to it. At this time, she woke up looking for milk and didn't take a few bites.
Baby milk powder is good for weaning at night. You don't have to worry when she wakes up. It's really unbearable. If you coax her again, you need an extra one, which is much more worry-free than breast-fed babies. My baby was weaned twice in the evening of the first month and directly in February. I am cruel. She was crying, too, so I endured and coaxed her. I must not save trouble. Lots of moms.
