When the baby reaches six months, there is a special period, that is, the anorexia period. Babies at this stage will become less fond of drinking milk, but that doesn't mean moms and dads need to try to wean them in a hurry. Because for babies under one year old, their diet is best based on formula or breast milk. However, if there are parents who find that their babies' recent love for milk is not particularly high, they may wish to try the following methods first.
First of all, parents need to judge in advance what is the reason why their babies have become less fond of drinking milk. Sometimes it may be because the time interval between parents feeding the baby is relatively short and frequent, so the baby's feeling of fullness is stronger, and naturally there will be body language that resists drinking milk. For this reason, parents should appropriately extend the interval between feeding the baby, and the number of times can also be slightly adjusted, do not feed the baby particularly full at one time, you can follow the principle of a small number of meals.
Secondly, babies do not like to drink milk may also be because they sleep longer, the body consumes less energy, so the demand for energy intake has become less. If this is the case, parents should appropriately reduce the baby's sleep time, and at the same time let them move more, such as crawling on the bed or sitting up. In short, don't let them lie flat on the bed for a long time.
In addition, the bottle that your baby drinks is also very important. As babies grow up little by little, moms and dads also need to adjust their bottles, such as the size of the nipple. Only when the baby drinks milk is more convenient and smooth, they will not resist drinking milk, if the baby always needs to spend a lot of effort when drinking milk, over time, they will naturally have resistance.
When the baby is still six months old, the parents still insist on feeding the baby breast milk or formula, and when the baby grows to about one year old, they can consider whether to start giving them a little complementary food in combination with the baby's physical development. In general, when your baby is able to eat complementary foods, he will show the following common body language. First of all, the baby will gradually become more and more interested in adult food, and will even grab it with his own hands and put it in his mouth, in this case, the baby may already want to try some complementary foods.
Another situation is that the baby becomes very hungry. After the parents feed them for a period of time, they want to drink milk again, the interval between the period is shorter, indicating that the baby is hungry faster, so it means that drinking milk has been unable to meet the energy required by the baby's body, and the parents can try to add complementary foods to them at this time. However, the addition of complementary foods should not be impatient, and breast milk or formula should be used as the baby's main food in the early stage.
All in all, even if the baby shows body language that does not want to drink milk, the parents can not easily wean them, or have to combine their own baby's physical development, if you can adjust the baby's diet under the guidance of a doctor or a professional parenting nutritionist, it is the best.
