The longer you breastfeed, the smarter your baby will be.
The international nutrition organization says: the longer breastfeeding time, the smarter the baby! Breastfeeding is an important guarantee for the baby's intellectual development.
Advantages of breastfeeding
In 2002, the World Health Organization and UNICEF jointly launched the global infant feeding strategy, emphasizing the superiority of breastfeeding, which is not only related to nutrition, but also the key to solving the nutritional problems of children in underdeveloped areas.
Matters needing attention in adding complementary food
Breastfeeding exclusively within 6 months, and adding complementary food in time after 6 months to ensure the baby's comprehensive nutrition. But don't forget, complementary food is softer and lighter than adults!
It is best to feed it to 2 years old.
If possible, it is best to feed it to 2 years old! But after 1 year old, breast milk is no longer a staple food, just twice a day. Three meals a day, the baby should try porridge, noodles, soft rice, vegetables and so on. Eat delicious food with adults, but the food should be soft and light.
Weaning time and method
One year and one month, can you wean? As long as the baby chews normally and the three meals are stable, the answer is yes! However, foreign experts suggest that you can eat it until you are 2 to 3 years old, until the baby no longer wants to eat it. The correct weaning method needs mother's patience, care and scientific guidance.
Influence of weaning on psychology
Weaning is not only a change in food and feeding methods, but also a huge psychological challenge to the baby. This process is called "the second separation of mother and baby", which has a far-reaching impact on the baby's psychological development. Improper weaning methods may lead to baby's psychological discomfort and even affect health.
Don't use extreme weaning methods.
Don't use extreme weaning methods, such as applying pepper and ink, which will bring psychological harm to your baby and may lead to abnormal behavior that is difficult to correct in the future.
