Helpful Tips For Weaning Your Baby

Be Patient And Cuddle

As you wean your child, it is crucial to be as patient as possible. Nursing is one of the most important things in your child’s life. It brings comfort and nutrition, so when beginning the weaning process, be ready for some tears and offer lots of cuddling session to your child. More physical love during the weaning period, such as cuddling, is an effective way for parents to fill the void the lack of breastfeeding will leave.

No matter how fast or slow you decide to wean, pat yourself on the back and don’t forget to take care of yourself. Your breasts may leak and feel engorged during this process, so try hot showers, put cabbage leaves in your bra, and take a decongestant to dry up your milk. Finally, cherish the memories you have breastfeeding your sweet child!
