How about weaning on Dragon Boat Festival? Does it affect the baby?

The Dragon Boat Festival is held at the beginning of May in the lunar calendar every year, and the solar calendar is about the beginning of June. At this time, the weather began to get hotter, but it was not particularly hot. Many mothers will choose to wean their babies at this time. So does weaning on Dragon Boat Festival have an impact on the baby? Let's take a closer look!

Is Dragon Boat Festival suitable for weaning? You can wean on Dragon Boat Festival, but you must wean scientifically and always pay attention to your baby's health.

It is most suitable to wean your baby 1 year-old, and it is best to wean your baby in spring and autumn. Due to the hot weather in summer, the digestive function of the baby's gastrointestinal tract is weakened. If you wean your baby rashly, a little carelessness will cause indigestion and even gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. It's cold in winter. If the baby can't sleep well at night because of weaning, it's easy to cause a cold. Therefore, it is suggested that Ma Bao choose to wean the baby in spring and autumn.

When Xia Dong is not suitable for weaning in two seasons, the climatic conditions are relatively poor, and the baby's physique and disease resistance are relatively weak.

When weaned in summer, the baby loses the supply of mother's milk and a large number of antibodies in the mother's milk, which is prone to diarrhea, cold, fever and other symptoms, and may also cause heatstroke. In addition, in summer, the baby's gastrointestinal digestion and absorption ability is weak, the appetite is poor, and the nutritional absorption of complementary food is not good, which is easy to cause malnutrition in the baby.

Weaning in winter, the baby is easy to be in a bad mood and nervous, which will lead to unstable sleep, low immunity and easy fever and cold. Therefore, if the baby's weaning age happens to be in summer and winter, breastfeeding should be appropriately extended for several months, and cool autumn and mild spring should be chosen.

In addition, the baby is unwell and should not be weaned. It is necessary to wait for the baby to recover before weaning.

Weaning your baby, besides choosing the right season, the method of weaning is also very particular, so as not to hurt your baby's feelings and body.

How many days does it take for the baby to wean? It depends on the baby's mood and physical condition. If the mother is fully prepared, both herself and the baby can adapt, and the time for weaning is ripe, then the mother can wean the baby quickly.

Fast weaning can make the baby get rid of breast milk in less than a week. Especially with objective factors, such as the mother has to travel for a period of time, then it is likely that the baby will be completely weaned within a few days after the mother leaves. If mother stops sucking milk after work, the milk will be cut off soon during the day.

If the baby relies heavily on breast milk, fast weaning may make the baby uncomfortable, and the mother attaches great importance to breastfeeding. Being with the baby every day, sudden weaning may bring a sense of loss to both mother and child. At this time, mothers need to adopt a gradual weaning method.

The sequential weaning method starts with feeding breast milk six times a day, first reduces it to five times a day, and then gradually reduces it after the mother and the baby are used to it until the breast milk is completely cut off. While gradually reducing breast milk, feed infant formula or complementary porridge and give the baby some soft and rotten food. The staple food can be soft rice, rotten noodles, rice porridge, small wonton and so on. Non-staple food can be minced meat, broken vegetables, custard, etc. Let the baby gradually adapt to other foods.

The quickest way is to wean gradually, which takes a week. Some babies will even pester their mothers for several months before weaning successfully.
