What did people put on their nipples after weaning?

In the past, some mothers would apply irritants such as ink, pepper water and tiger balm to their nipples when they were weaned. This is a misunderstanding. For the baby, this is simply cruel "torture", which will make the child feel cheated, distrust his mother and even the world, and even cause his anger and anxiety.

The correct way to wean:

A period that weaned babies must go through during their growth. After four months of breastfeeding, the nutrients contained in breast milk can not fully meet the needs of baby's growth and development. On the one hand, the addition of complementary food supplements the lack of nutrition in milk, and at the same time, it also makes a certain degree of attachment for the baby's weaning, resulting in a certain sense of security. Therefore, in order to wean the baby smoothly, it is necessary to transfer this feeling and add complementary food on time.

It takes half a year for a baby to change from breast milk or milk powder to eating. Gradually, the baby will change from breast milk or milk powder to eating habits. In this process, there should be a time to feed digested soft food, that is, the semi-weaning period.

The best substitute for milk is to make full use of part of the diet made by adults.

When feeding milk replacer, the baby's upper body is upright, and he (she) supports it with something to let the baby sit and eat.

Babies who are used to breastfeeding are reluctant to give up breastfeeding, so they should adapt slowly. From the age of 5 months, mothers will begin to train their babies to drink milk in cups. Before feeding, squeeze a small amount of milk into the cup every time, and the baby will take a few sips before feeding. When the baby is 6-8 months old, he will be very attached to his mother's nipple. Never wean them suddenly, don't use tough methods, and don't put peppers on their nipples.

In order to facilitate weaning, it is best for mothers to sleep separately from their babies for a few days at night. 1 After that, they can be weaned.

It is best to avoid weaning in summer, because babies are prone to indigestion and diarrhea in summer. If the baby reaches one year old in summer, it is very beneficial to wean in late spring in advance.
