Breastfeeding and weaning

Breastfeeding and weaning can be confusing. The term of weaning is used in two different contexts. Australia uses the term weaning when on silent stop. Generally say we sell from silent. It is used to refer to other situations where something out of the use or dependence is gradually eliminated. In America is weaning in the discussion on the introduction of solids. This can cause that some confusion not resolved.

In this article we will discuss reducing or stopping stop breastfeeding.

Typically we would discuss, the best way to achieve this, if you and your baby are ready.

Ideally, breastfeeding is promoted for the first 12 months life of a child. Breastfeeding and weaning is an individual choice and the right time and the reasons for this are different person to person.

Sometimes the baby decides that the time is ripe. In other situations, the mother feel that the time is ripe for the weaning.

It is true, in General, we have a few guidelines that can help, if it is obvious weaning happen or you decide the time is. You can either Turkey cold and quench all overnight stop or to gradually wean. It is recommended that gradual weaning from breast feeding, as it is much more gentle for the mother and not so painful. This simply means, replace only a bottle or glass feed (depending on age of the child if more than 6 months then feed Cup) for a silent at a time. For example, your baby has 6 Breastfeedings per day, would a bottle feed satisfy for one to replace in your day. We would select the feed you at least interested, first to stop the baby. Usually this is in the middle of the day. Continue to weaning from breast feeding with this pattern, until your breasts change manage and not sore. This would mean that your baby is always 5 Breastfeedings and a cup or bottle per day (24 hours feeding). If this goes that may after a day, 2 days or a week, well, then it's time to delete an another silent and replace a cup or bottle feed. This would mean that your baby receives 4 Breastfeedings per day per 2 cup or bottle of feeds. Want you again delete the next at least interest breastfeed and feed replace a bottle or Cup. If the breasts are again, it's time to delete the next quiet comfortable. Continue until you reach your destination. Weaning can be full or partial weaning according to need.

Breast-feeding and weaning can be as fast or as long as suits you. The main objective is to avoid the comfort of the mother and mastitis. Mastitis occurs when the breasts are not properly emptied. Milk is produced, and there are no unloading or ineffective emptying of the breasts. When by and by, we're effectively drained the breasts but the frequency reduced weaning they are drained, so the demand and the supply of breast milk.

Sometimes with cold packs or cabbage leaves help complaints of weaning full breasts and breastfeeding, is helpful and reassuring. It is the potassium and boron in Kohl, which helps in relieving the swelling. However, it is important that you must remove the cold packs or leaves as soon as they are no longer feeling cold. This is may be as quickly as 5 minutes. Then you need to, and you can replace them with fresh fish, if necessary. If they stay there and warm, they can have the opposite effect and promote more milk.

Paracetamol can take complaints also alleviate, if of silent drop off.
