Patient's question:
When taking a nap, he always sleeps with the nipple in his mouth. I tried to pull it out after he fell asleep, but he always wakes up after not long. I had to let him keep it in his mouth again. I want to wean him, but he only eats breast milk and doesn't drink formula. I have to coax him to sleep with the nipple in his mouth. Sisters who feel the same, please share your experiences. What kind of assistance is needed: How can I help my baby break the habit of always biting the nipple while sleeping?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your baby has developed a habit of biting the nipple while sleeping during naps, and at one year old, it is time to wean. You can try giving him a bottle of milk before his nap, which might help. That is, sleeping with the pacifier. It's very tiring for you to keep nursing, and the child may also become dependent on you and be unwilling to eat other foods. Besides, milk at one year old is no longer nutritious. You can also listen to stories or music before naps. My child used to touch an adult's arm before napping for a sense of security.
