Nine months ago, Bao Jing Moore was exclusively breastfed. During her work, she was fed a bottle twice, kissed twice and slept at night. Nine months ago, she woke up 1-2 times at night, and usually fainted directly when she woke up. Generally speaking, I like breast milk. No matter whether I am tired, in a bad mood, stumbling or ill, there is no problem that a mouthful of milk can't solve, so I always think that breastfeeding is a huge challenge for Bao Jinger and me.
The first step: add milk powder and stop milk at night.
Nine months later, milk powder had to be introduced because of the reduction of dairy production. Bao Jinger successfully launched milk powder, I think there may be four reasons:
1- Bao Jing is used to bottle feeding, and there is no rejection of bottles.
2-2 stage milk powder itself is better to drink;
3- In the usual complementary food, all kinds of patties, steamed cakes and cookies will add some milk powder to get in touch with the taste of milk powder in advance;
4- Ensure a large amount of exercise during the day, and it is easier to replace milk with milk powder at night.
In this way, the meal before going to bed was replaced by milk powder, 200ml, and then I went to sleep with milk. It's amazing that I didn't wake up at night. In fact, consider it from Bao Jing's point of view: I am full and tired during the day. What should I do after waking up? In this way, milk powder was added and the night milk was broken.
Part II: Weaning and Sleep, Breastfeeding
Once milk powder is added, weaning is the general trend, because the output of dairy cows is obviously reduced. By the time we reached Er 10M in Bao Jing, 2-3 of the original 4 meals of breast milk were milk powder, and breast milk was snacks and pacifiers. The biggest problem when I quit breastfeeding is sleeping, so we started trying to let him sleep by himself.
1- After drinking milk powder, I lay down beside him and let him move at will. He will go from standing to sitting, to crawling, and finally, like Voldemort, the arch of the bed will slowly arch to my side and start crying for milk-failure!
2- Later, when I came back from my trip to Sanya, my father and I discussed that he needed to go on stage to finish the last step of breastfeeding, and he began to sleep with me.
3- After Dad came to power, during his sleep, it was still the above scene. When he had no physical strength and could not find numbness, he began to cry, and then his father began to sleep+pat. Bao Jing was very sleepy and soon gave up resisting sleep. This time may last for 30 minutes, and his father slept with him for 4 days. -He knows the time and is a hero. Breastfeeding succeeded!
In this way, the baby can accept the process of introducing milk powder-stopping milk at night-weaning and sleeping-stopping breast milk. The end result is that he eats better and sleeps better, and they have no reason not to like it. After breast-feeding, Bao Jing is not interested in her mother's wife. Whenever my mother thinks about it, she still feels a little lost. The explanation to myself is: this is the baby's own choice, and he began to make his own decisions.
Now Bao Jinger, 13M, has three meals of milk powder and three meals of complementary food every day. She walked in the community in the morning, took a nap at noon 1.5 hours, and went to Gymboree for early education in the afternoon. At about 8: 30 in the evening, she can sleep by herself until the next morning. I have to say that Ma Ma after weaning has finally lived a normal life!
