Girls, how did you wean your babies from breastfeeding? My daughter is exactly 2 years old (strictly following WHO recommendations) ? Please don't judge too harshly ? I think it's better to do it gradually and gently ? Share your experiences ?

Weaning from breastfeeding can be a lengthy and individual process for each mother and child. It's important to remember that the main thing is to consider the needs and comfort of both the mother and the child. One method of weaning is to gradually reduce the number of feedings. You can start by replacing one feeding at a time with another type of food or drink. Gradually decrease the number of feedings, replacing them with other types of nutrition. It is also important to create new rituals and ways of soothing the child to replace breastfeeding. This could be hugging, reading a book before bed, playing games, or other enjoyable activities. But most importantly, be patient and gentle with your child during this transitional period. Remember that each child is unique and it may take time to adjust to the new situation. It's important to maintain a connection with your child and be prepared for the fact that the weaning process can take time and requires attention and care.

Before asking us to apply brilliant green and then rub garlic on top. When she starts to say her breast is sick, her breast hurts, it's better to do this first thing in the morning as soon as she wakes up. Rub the nipples with garlic all day, and if there's less on the breast, apply more brilliant green. The bra will just get ruined. Prepare several dishes of food. And so until the evening. Feed her with a spoon all day and offer the child to eat with a spoon. Don't forget the bib, preferably with a pocket. Feed her well an hour before bedtime. Put her to sleep without breastfeeding. Only water at night. Before bedtime (before eating), let her bathe for a long time in the bath.

1. Eliminate random nursing sessions. Rule: milk only before bedtime. 2. Stop nursing for daytime naps. Rule: milk only at night (when it gets dark). Children understand these rules well. But if there is an association of nursing with sleep, you need to come up with something else. For example, we tried to go for a walk during the day, and she would fall asleep in the stroller. 3. To ensure that the child does not linger on the breast before sleeping, it is necessary to monitor the routine. Avoid under-walking. At one point, my two-year-old was staying awake for 13 hours a day with a nap in the middle. If I started putting him to bed earlier, he would just hang on the breast. 4. When I decided to completely stop breastfeeding, around the ages of 2 and 6, I temporarily eliminated the daytime nap. And literally from that day, the child started sleeping through the night without waking up. Before I figured out not to put her down during the day, my daughter would throw tantrums until one in the morning, screaming: "Give me num nums!" The neighbors wanted to call child protective services. ?

Вера, Hello ? thank you very much ☺️ that's exactly what I'm doing. First, I eliminated the erratic naps, and now for about 5 days, for the daytime nap, I lift and walk around singing along, and she falls asleep. Now, at the end of the week, I plan to eliminate the night one??

Alina, Nights were the hardest, of course. But I didn't figure out how to adjust the settings right away. If you find it hard to fall asleep and often wake up during the night, try reducing the amount of sleep.
