It is very hard for me; I am a single mother and a full time student. My baby wakes me up every two hours throught the night. I also want to start losing weight and breastfeeding makes me very hungry. I need help! What should I do? Name: yolanda Country: U.S.A. Comment: I have weaned my daughter now for 5 days. The only problem is the engorgement. I wear cabbage leaves all day&night in my bra. The pressure seems to build late night and through the morning. What I found that worked was to take a very warm bath and to stay in long enough for the breast milk to slowly drip out from both breasts. Wish me luck I leave for 6days and hoping to be dried up by then. Also ibuprofen helps with inflammation and pain. ALOHA! Name: stephannie Country: U.S.A.

My daughter as been so healthy... Name: buffalo Country: United Kingdom Comment: My son has just turned one year. I hadn't really decided to stop breast feeding him, but he had a tummy bug and was sick with my milk, so I thought I would take the opportunity to stop feeding him cold turkey. He never liked drinking from a bottle so I thought it might be a problem. However, he very quickly became used to drinking from the bottle in one or two days. I was very engorged on one side, but found it helped to wear my most comfortable bra. I didn't want to pump at all, because I felt that would encourage my breast to make more milk. I found the hardest thing to deal with was his tears at nap and bedtimes. The best advice I can give is to change the bedtime routine. I found that if I stuck to the normal routine, he became more upset becuase he was expecting me to feed him. I change him for bed in the living room instead of his room. Instead of sitting in our nursing chair with his bottle, we sit in the living room watching a dvd or reading a book which distracts him while he drinks his bottle. Then I rock him to sleep when he is full, which is easier than trying to feed him when he is upset. Name: Sandra Country: U.S.A. Comment: I can't believe that you guys are brestfeeding your kids(YEAH KIDS,NOT BABES) for so long.... That is just sick to brestfeed children for 2-3 years..I just read few Comments from the top and few from middle ,and I can't believe my eyes what I'm reding... Anyway,I brestfeed my kids for few months and the best way to stop milk is to put every day (all day) for 4-5 Days COLD,COLD neckerchief and tie it really good around brests(but every time it is dry you have to take it off and put some more water or ice on it) and it will dry in a minute ...I know it will hurt and it's not going to be easy but if you can if you continue like that for couple of days you should see difference... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THAT,JUST DON'T BRESTFEED OR PUMP MILK AS OFTEN,and eventually it will stop.. Don't drink too much juices and water..it will just make you plum:)) so good luck!!!! PS.I don't want to say that doctors are stuped but if you want to stop doing something ,I think that is your own decision...you know what is best for you and your child!!! And even if you take yor baby off ,and you stop brestfeeding don't feel bad,you STILL WILL BE THE BEST MOTHER THAT YOU CAN BE!!!!! that it... byeeee Name: CeeCee Country: aahamas Comment: My daughter is 18 months. I really want to stop breastfeeding but she loves the breast. I read your views and I believe when she is ready she will stop. However in the mean time, I will enjoy our bonding periods and I will try the suggestion of putting her in another room at nights. Name: linda Country: U.S.A.

He got gastro so i had to stop giving him breest milk only water and jucie from a really expensive bottel. So i guess i went cold turkey. YES it takes long to get rid of the milk. Name: Jean Country: usa Comment: I highly recomend if you have questions on weaning to go to the La Leche League website or to find a leader in your area to have your Questions answered. THe APA recommeds breastfeeding for a minimum of a year and the WHO recommends at least two years. Weaning is a slow gradual process that is best when it is child led. It begins when you introduce solids around the middle of the first year. Each solid meal usually replaces one breastfeeding sesion. Then at 8 to ten months they get introduce the sippy cup with water to get them used to drinking in a different way. My son had to use an adult cup I held at first before he got used to the sippy. My daughter weaned at 18 months with me doing very little than only feeding her when she asked. Another thing I think help was that by 7 months with both my babies I had my husband lay them down to sleep a couple nights a week. Instead of breastfeeding them to sleep all the time. This made it easier when my daughter weaned. Because we already had other ways of lulling her to sleep. Using any negative consequences to stop breastfeeding ( bad tastes on the breast) sounds like a bad idea to me. And probally a source of therapy bills when the children become adults. LOL And even if you feel you don't want to be breastfeeding any more you will feel sad when the breastfeeding relationship ends. Name: sofia Country: united kingdom Comment: my baby is 20 month and i am trying to take here of the breast but no luck she very atached i have a 14 years old and a 10 years old girl it was easy foe them why this one Name: missy Country: usa Comment: congratulations to all mothers that breastfed its hard especially the weaning process my son is 12 months and i have been trying for 7 months and there was rude comments on this site but they are the immature ones that cant that breastfeeding is a beautiful thing they need to grow up it is so healthy and good for you also but if anyone has advice on weaning during the night i would love it my son drinks plenty of sippy cups during the day night is my problem look forward to hearing the comments Name: Lisa Country: usa Comment: To Anya from the United Kingdom. I have a 29 month old that I am in the process of weaning. The thing that has made it a little easier for my daughter is the fact that we finally put her in a 'big girl bed'. You can pretty much forget weaning if the child is in the same bed as you. You have to start slowly, first move the child to a seperate bed (and room if possible) nurse the child to sleep and leave. If the baby wakes up, go to the baby and comfort, you may have to nurse the baby for a few nights for more during the night, but they seem to sleep better without the noise or movement of the parents in the bed. I have gone cold turkey with the weaning, I am very uncomfortable but I had to wean her because she had a stomach virus and my milk was giving her diahrea and vomiting. Good Luck, try not to make weaning a miserable experience for you and your child, replace the breastfeeding with lots of hugs, kisses and positive words. I also did this 9 years ago when I weaned my son......It really will work!

And of course I give in cause its driving me crazy! I asked her doctor and she says she will stop when shes ready!!! Well im READY!!!! any advise? Name: Jennifer Country: usa Comment: I thought that my one year old son was too attached to the breast and would never want to wean. I slowly removed feedings one at a time so that my body could adjust the amount of milk it made and it wouldn't be painful. I found it easiest to take away afternoon feedings first. My son protested a bit at first, but I replaced the feeding with lots of cuddle time, love, kind words, a back rub, and stroking his hair to show him we can still be close and I am not rejecting him. It took several days but he handled it really well, much to my suprise and then took the initiative to drop his morning feeding and then a few days later he dropped his bedtime feeding. Now I feel kind of sad because the weaning process only took 3 weeks or so and the last time he nursed I didn't know it was going to be the last time. My advice to all the moms out there trying to stop - please do not put something that tastes bad on your nipples to discourage your child from wanting the breast. To me, that seems like a betrayal of the trust. The method that I used worked really well for me, and I think it could work for alot of you. Just substitute alot of love for for the missed feedings, so your child knows that giving up the breast doesn't equal giving up the closeness the two of you share.

Name: samantha Country: usa Comment: I breastfeed my son til he was one month old i was making to much milk. so i decdied to take him off me and pump my milk for him. and he did good with the bottle. but the only problem was he didn't like me warming the bottle of my milk, so i would pump my breastmilk when he hungery. and it works!! he was a happy baby. then i decdied that it was time to stop so i gave him formula and he didn't like it so i would go half and half (breast milk and formula) and he like it then i would go like 4oz of fomula and 2oz of my milk and he did okay with it later in a month i stop at 8 months with my milk and gave him formula and he didn't know the different. so that when i quit breastfeeding him. so i think that mom's out there, don't qive up always try something different that you know what your child like.God bless you all. Name: Kember Country: usa Comment: I have a thirteen month old son. I have decided to go cold turkey with breastfeeding him, because I think if I don't do it that way, I won't be able to resist temptation. He's eating good and taking a sipper cup of whole milk. It's been a day and a half since I quit breastfeeding and my boobs hurt really bad. Does anyone have any advice? Name: Liz Country: usa Comment: My son is 12 months and I he use to breast feed all the time and he slept with me through the night and I feed him at night too. I just decided out of nowere to stop and I put him in his bed and he cried for a couple of days but now this is the 5 night and he slept from 9:30 at night until 7 these morning so there is hope. He didn't eat much at first but he started to like it after a day or so because it was different. Also he loves whole milk so try whole milk, you can give your child whole milk at 11 or even 10 months old. Sippy cups are good too he has had a sippy cup for a while and he likes the soft tip gerber baby sippy cup. I no how hard it is because he still cries for a little bit when he goes to bed but you will get use to it and it really doesn't hurt them to cry its good for them. I have been home with him since he was born and I just didn't no how to stop but I just decided its time and it worked and wasn't as hard as I thought. I think that a lot of mother should stop during the day before you complety wean them. Hope this helps.

Name: laci Country: usa Comment: Ann from Canada Name: melissa Country: usa Comment: I have a one year old baby girl and I hav eto tried to stop breast feeding for some time now i have even tried to pump breastmilk and feed it to her at a very young age and she doesn't want anything to do with anyting except the breast. but she has been drinking juice and water out of a cup since she was about 4 1/2 mos old .just recently i have been introducing cow's milk to her in the cup because she won't have a bottle. and she won't drink it at all. But, she eats solid foods really good. I think that she needs the breast for comfort not nutrition anymore. what should I do about it ?

Thanks Name: reeta Country: england Comment: hi all, a few tips to help u if it might! to have restful sleep at night,start giving ur baby water at night in bottle instead of milk.slowly he/she will get used to the idea that he/she has to hv last big feed before sleeping. those children who are breastfed for long are at an advantage-research has proved that,so mums should try to continue as much as they possibly can. when you wean a child from breast,it is best to do it stepwise,cutting one feed every 3-4 days.child will not take bottle immediately instead of breast but offer every time. my son was very headstrong and at eleven mths i started cutting his feeds and he did not take to bottle at all neither any other milk,so i gave him curd/fromage/cheese instead.that worked fine.i continued with one night feed till he was fifteen mths.he wudn't sleep without it when i wanted to stop.the method that worked for me was to wrap a few fallen hair from your head and stick it with cellotape around the nipple-once the child tried to latch on,he/she will be off.it will be emotionally upsetting for you when you stop breastfeeding ur hungry child(they won't hv anything for 2-3 days sometimes),but then they do. best of luck with your trials. reeta Name: JAY Country: usa Comment: MY SON IS SOON TO BEE 17MOS.
