Sleeping:weaning&sleep problems
2001-02-14
Name: shalini



I have a 13 months son & I have been trying to wean him off my breast unsuccessfully for the past 2 months.Iam facing 2 problems:
1He needs to take to my breast if he is feeling sleepy.If i am not around then he is able to sleep on a swing i have but on seeing me he howls badly demanding the breast feed.also he sleeps for a longer time 2 hrswhen on the swing compared to when i put him to sleep20 min. to 40 min.
2HE gets up three or four times at night and sleeps only when i give him my feed.How can i stop this bad habit bcos it is spoiling mine as well as his sleep.Iguess that is one reason he is not gaining weight properly

hi shalini,

I have a similar problem , i have a 13 month old daughter. I'm trying to wean her from her bottle for the past one month but unsuccessful.she gets up atleast twice at night times.the problem is she is avery picky eater and doesn't eats to her full capacity.
May be you can make him eat hisdinner well so that he'll notget up very frequently at ight

Well, it is not easy to wean away children from the breast, but it is not even difficult. Therefore, you have to just feed him enough while he is awake. And then be away for some time. It will take some time for him to digest the new routine.

I know this habit will carry on even if the baby grows upto 2/3 yts. This is certainly embarrasing in public. So u have to be strict/stubborn. Some old women used to put something that tastes bitter/sour on the breast nipple so ur baby dislikes drinking breast milk. Try this slowly that is once/twice a day. Also give him glass of milk when u are having tea/coffee or before going to sleep. This may work if u are persistent.
