Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I wean off scientifically?Doctor's answer:
1. The mother can first reduce one feeding of breast milk for the baby each day and correspondingly increase the amount of complementary foods. After about a week, if the mother feels her breasts are not too full and the baby's digestion and absorption are also good, she can reduce another feeding of breast milk while further increasing the amount of complementary foods, gradually transitioning to weaning.2. When reducing milk intake, the baby may become very attached to the mother's milk. Therefore, it is best to start by reducing the daytime feeding. This is because there are many distractions for babies during the day, so they are less focused on their mothers. However, in the morning and evening, babies are particularly attached to their mothers and seek comfort through breastfeeding. As a result, weaning at night may be more challenging. Once the baby stops the daytime feeding, you can gradually reduce nighttime feedings until fully transitioning to weaning.
