I believe that everyone around there are cases of children who cannot be weaned, and generally the most impressive thing should be that they are weaned until they are four or five years old. However, recently a mother on the Internet disclosed her difficulties, saying that her baby still had to drink breast milk when she was a teenager, and she could not be cut off many times. This stunned everyone, what is going on?
The boy drank breast milk 3 times a day at the age of 12 and weaned repeatedly
It turned out that this child was the only child in the family, and was spoiled and raised by the grandparents and grandparents of the family as soon as he was born. Originally, this mother also wanted to wean the child when she was one or two years old, but the grandmother was distressed by her precious grandson and said no, and she did not toss the weaning until the age of three or four. Later, this mother also followed the child's personality, until now she is 12 years old, and she has to drink breast milk three times a day, and then the mother herself can't stand it, and the child doesn't want her face.
She also took her son to the doctor, who saw it and said that there was no way to treat it, and that there was nothing wrong with the child's body, which could be psychological. If the child does not take the initiative to wean himself, then the doctor is also rudderless.
So this mother has no way, in reality, she can't always find someone else to ask such a shameful thing. And netizens also expressed sympathy, and have helped this mother out of ideas, hoping to help her.

Some netizens believe that this is not only a problem for grandma, but also a problem for moms. Even if the grandmother dotes on her grandson and is unwilling to let the grandson wean, the mother has the right to decide, as long as the mother resolutely cuts off the family no one dares not agree.
So if the mother had a principle of not doting on her child, things would not have turned out like this. I am afraid that the mother is also like the grandmother, seeing the child crying two sentences and hurting, she is not willing to help the child wean, but such mercy and suffering is the mother herself.
So since things have evolved to this day, mothers should work hard to help their children wean. The child is twelve years old, according to the age of the middle school, we have not heard of children in middle school and breastfeeding, even among classmates will laugh at such children.
And the child believes that at this age, he should also understand things, even if he can't accept his mother's decision to wean him physically, he should learn to get rid of his dependence on his mother psychologically.
In fact, there are many examples like this around us, but at most feeding children until they are two or three years old and forced to wean, will not drag until the age of children. So, how do parents who are just parents help their children wean?
So, how to help your child wean smoothly?
1. Increase supplementary complementary foods to distract your child's attention
When the child reaches the age of one or two, it is time to add complementary foods, and it is no longer necessary to follow the original recipe to focus on breast milk. Parents can try several complementary foods for their children first to see which one their child prefers.
Then improve the practice of complementary foods for the tastes that children like, so that children are more interested in complementary foods, which will distract children's attention from breast milk. As long as the child is no longer in a hurry to eat breast milk every day, the mother's plan to wean the child can be realized step by step!
2. Step by step
First of all, the first step is to reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, often there is a mother will use breast milk to coax the child to sleep habits, this habit is not conducive to the child weaning, so the first step is to quit this bad habit. The second step begins to reduce the amount of breastfeeding, so that children can slowly focus on milk powder and complementary foods to reduce their dependence on the mother's breast milk. The third step is to completely abstain from breastfeeding the child, so that the child can completely use milk powder and various complementary foods as staple foods. These three-step plans must be taken step by step, and cannot be randomly approached.
3. Take coercive measures when necessary
When a mother finds that her child cannot breastfeed, she can take coercive measures, such as temporarily leaving the child for a few days to travel, so that the child can get used to life without breast milk. As long as you can work hard when necessary, I believe that the mother can definitely help the child wean the breast milk!
