My baby is 9 months old now. She is on BM and 3 solid meals a day, breakfast (8.30 am), lunch (1 pm), and dinner (8 pm). I breastfeed her around 5-6 times a day, around 7 am, 10.30 am, 3:30 pm, 6 pm, 10 pm, and once if she wakes up around 4-5 am. Now, I want to get back to work. How can I start weaning breastfeeding. Have heard, we shud stop daytime feeding first. Right now, i add formula whereever necessary in solid foods like cereals for breakfast and dinner. Please help. Hetal replied. c if any of these works for you ::

1. if he demands for nursing, nurse him in a different place, where you usually dont nurse him. this will make him feel new, he will not feel comfortable..and gradually leave it.
2.give him some snacks, juice or bottle or sippy cup before sleeping so that he is full and he doesnt demand.
3. for weaning from breast,directly. pump some milk and keep it in bowl, take a clean cotton cloth and tie a knot like you tie keys and the end of it, dip it in the milk,let it soak nicely,when he demands, put that tip of cloth in his mouth... gradually he wont get good milk of it, he will stop. he will realise when all the milk is sucked out of the cloth, its not momy...
4. rock him, let your dh make him back to sleep,,like you said he doesnt demand when you are not around ! let that be the reason, al the time he demands..
5. keep sippy cup or bottle nearby.. when he demands, give him that, let your dh do that,,he will realise slowly that he will not be nursed.
put a cloth of yours near to him, like handkerchief or so, to make him feel your presence when alone in crib...

good luck
