hello my name is andrea orta mashburn andtoday i am going to discuss how to stop breastfeeding. stopping breastfeeding is not only a difficulttime for mommy but it is also a difficult time for your infant. remember that you needto make this transition as easy as possible and one of the first pieces of advice thati can give you is that you need to start by eliminating just one feeding a day. what thismeans is that instead of breastfeeding at a particular moment in time when you normallyfeed your child you need to replace it with a healthy option. you can choose at this timeto use the bottle or perhaps even a sippy cup instead of doing the breastfeeding. byslowly eliminating a feeding a day this will allow your child to adjust slowly to the processand will also allow your body to physically
slow down producing milk as well. it is importantto know that when you feed your child that you keep it still in comfortable places. ifyou typically feed them in their room during a breastfeeding make sure that you do thesame when you do an alternative feeding. by allowing them to still stay in the same comfortablesetting you will also be allowing them to stay into the no breastfeeding. lastly makesure that you are comfortable. if you are uncomfortable with eliminating a feeding takeit slowly. maybe eliminating one feeding a day is too much. maybe you would like to eliminateone feeding every two days. make sure that you are comfortable with the transitioningbecause infant children will pick up on any tension or anxiety that you may have as beinga mother. also make sure that you are continuing
to stay comfortable with your own breast feeding.touch your breasts and make sure that they are continuing to pump enough nutrients whenyou are dealing in breastfeeding instead of an alternative feeding for your child. byallowing your body to slowly stop producing milk you are also allowing for your own bodyto stop this transition. so remember, be patient, be safe and always put your baby's needs first.
