Patient's question:
Six months and 20 days, the baby drinks 160ml of milk every night at 11-12 PM, 2-3 AM, and 5 AM. It is said that drinking night milk in such large amounts is not good. Can night milk be weaned? How can it be weaned?Doctor's answer:
6-month-old baby, dietary content: dairy (breast milk or formula), approximately 800-1000 milliliters per day (24 hours). From 4 to 6 months, you can gradually consider introducing complementary foods. Now, you can stop nighttime breastfeeding. It is recommended to gradually extend the time of nighttime feeding while keeping the total feeding amount unchanged. Additionally, pay attention not to feed the baby between meals to let them feel hungry and give their stomach a rest. Even if the baby did not eat well at the last meal, do not digest food immediately. You can let them feel hungry until the next mealtime.
