Breastfeeding is a great time when mom and child is a single whole. But children grow up, and the time comes to stop breastfeeding. In order for her mother, nor the child has no discomfort, some simple recommendations should be followed.

It is best to stop breastfeeding when both participants are ready for this ready. Now doctors recommend to feed the baby to the breast for at least two years, thereby passing their immunity to them, maintaining the nervous-emotional stability of the child, creating comfortable conditions for security.

Do not need to cut the lactation sharply. It can harm the breast glands of mom, causing milk classes, and also cause severe stress in a child. It is best to gradually reduce the amount of baby applying to the chest throughout the day. Starting from 12 months of age, you can safely stop night feedings. The kid is already enough adult to not eat all night. Before bedtime, feed it tightly, and if it wakes up - you can offer water to the first day or two (no more, otherwise it goes into the habit). When a child wakes up at night, do not turn on the bright light, do not play and do not talk to him. He must understand that at night to attract the attention of adults will not work, and he will not have anything to go to sleep. Usually, children get used to the lack of access to the mother's chest at night no longer than the week. But then mom and baby will be able to get enough sleep perfectly.

Gradually reducing the number of day feeding, replace their adult food. Over time, leave two attachments of the baby to the chest: in front of day and night bed. Now try to find a way to put the baby to sleep without a chest. You can, for example, read fairy tales, lightly stroke the crumb, sing a lullaby. If the child flatly refuses to fall asleep in other ways, you can go for a trick. Explain to the baby that Milk now appears not all the time, but only in the evening. To confirm your words, you can easily smear the nipple with mustard and give a sniffing to the child, saying that now Sisya stinks and not delicious. But in the evening she can make milk again. If the child has reached 1-1.5 years, he must understand and take these conditions. The main thing is not to remove several feedings at the same time.

When only one feeding for the night remains, you will notice that the chest is no longer poured. Come up with some alternative for a child. For example, it can be said that adult children eat sweets (as an option - eating oranges, ride a new bike), but do not drink Mamino Milk. Combining these classes will not work, so the child will have to choose. When he agrees to an alternative, warn him when Milk will disappear so that it does not surprise.

As soon as you stop breastfeeding, start drinking chalf decoil. Brew according to the instructions on the package of a glass of this grass and use for three approaches for three days for 3-5 days. This grass reduces milk production. Turning or drinking drugs, overwhelming lactation, is not worth it. If you fed the child only once a day, the chest should not become painful or hardening. If the first days still have the unpleasant sensations associated with pouring breasts, see quite a bit milk to ease the position. If it does not get better, contact the doctor.
So that the child does not feel abandoned or lonely after random from the chest, teach it to communicate in other ways: hug it more often, I am smooth, kiss it, praise and encourage.
It seems to me the longer feed-the better. Of course, after a year, problems have already appear with lactation, but if you help your body (I am Evalir Bio Lactoma tea and brazers on the chamomile) is restored.
