How to wean a child from the breast Bashny.Net

More recently, pediatricians around the world said that a child should not only be able to walk, but also eat the same as adults. However, today these norms have shifted, and modern doctors are no longer so categorical.

A child who, after playing on the playground, runs to his mother and reaches for his chest to feed himself, is not uncommon. And the World Health Organization says that you can feed a child up to two or three years.

But the feeding process cannot go on indefinitely. And some inconveniences over time it creates. Husband grumbles, girlfriends laugh, relatives get bored with their advice, they say, now you can not unlearn - then it will be more difficult ... And the young mother thinks, How to wean a baby from the breastI want it to be painless.





Every loving mother cherishes those moments of unity when the beloved child, having eaten, peacefully sleeps at her breast. But after a year of feeding, many mothers are psychologically tired. They look back and see how heroic they have been all this time, remembering problems with lactation and so on. And then they decide that wean It came.





Doctors offer a day to part with the child, and if the full breast does not bother and does not hurt, then Mommy's ready to leave.. But is the baby ready?

If before daytime sleep and at night, the baby is applied to the chest, as well as after waking up, then, probably, he is not yet ready to do without mother's milk. This is also evidenced by his craving for the breast when the mother returns after a long absence or when she is in a stationary position.

Do not wean the child during illness, or when he has serious changes in life (movement, first trips to kindergarten, mother’s return to work).

Doctors warn against spreading nipples with bitter or frightening substances. That's because breast - the embodiment of tenderness, security and goodness. Therefore, smearing, for example, mustard or green will only frighten the child, shake his faith in the home world. And it will be uncomfortable for my mother.

Even worse is the case with drugs to stop lactation. Usually a child at the age of one and a half years and more is applied to the breast to get not only milk, but also a little maternal tenderness.

“Inexperienced mothers believe that stopping breast-feeding will cause a huge blow to the child’s psyche, which the child will never forgive, and that it will be the end of normal family relationships. But that's really stupid.

“If the parents are consistent, the child will have no special experiences. But if the mother did not give the child breasts, the baby cried, and the mother still lets him to the chest, this is a formal mockery. And this excommunication will last for months or even years, the pediatrician warns.

“If the mother believes that both she and the baby are ready to do without breastfeeding, then you should stop giving the baby breasts. Yeah, he'll be upset. But his grief will pass in a couple of days, during which the parents need to be persistent and consistent. That's the secret.





“There is no magic pill for breast parting, no matter how upsetting this fact may be for many mothers. For someone, the process of excommunication is easier, for someone it is more difficult. But all these are variants of the norm, concludes Dr. Komarovsky.
