How to disaccustom the child to breastfeeding

No mix will be able to be compared to breast milk. But the moment when feeding needs to be finished comes. For children breast milk rather as a habit, than food becomes more senior than one and a half years. But to disaccustom the child to breastfeeding — quite difficult task.

Instruction

1. It is possible just to wait for natural involution. So the breast itself will cease to develop milk. The Sosatelny reflex at the child will be completely satisfied by then and excommunication from a breast will be the most natural. But this case demands a long time which young mom sometimes does not have. The modern world implies mom's entry into work during the period from one and a half to three years of the child. Besides, this way has one more minus: both physical and emotional health of young mom can strongly decrease.

2. There is a so-called grandmother's way of excommunication from a breast. It is called so because our mothers, and their grandmothers quite so separated from a breast us. The child was sent for several days to relatives that he did not see mom. The woman for this time strongly drew a breast of sheets. But this way is considered very traumatic both for the woman, and for the child now. The kid at once remains without the best for him a way to get rid of a stress — a breast. At the same time it also remains without loved one in the life — mothers. For mom it is also a stress — constant nervousness for the child strongly worsens emotional balance of the woman. In addition the woman can suffer and from physical indispositions — the breast overflowed with milk becomes stone and very painful. It can be formed laktostaz. Temperature increase of a body is in certain cases observed. The possibility of formation of a laktostaz, and subsequently and mastitis, does this way of excommunication from breastfeeding by the most extreme.

3. The way which is recommended most often by doctors is called medicamentous. An essence of its medicine in reception which is sharply reducing prolactin level in the woman's organism. Most often doctors offer the medicine "Dostinex" for reception. It is enough to accept once or twice medicine and a lactation will decrease to a minimum.

4. You should not forget also about side effects of intake of such medicines as "Dostinex". In particular, at women dizzinesses, nausea, drowsiness, tachycardia, belly-aches, uneasiness, diarrhea and a meteorizm can be observed. Therefore it is necessary to take such drugs strictly appointed by the attending physician.

5. After intake of medicine it is impossible to feed the child with breast milk. Therefore many mothers come to the most various tricks to disaccustom the child to a breast. Some just try to distract the child, long walk on the street, are played. Someone gives the child to relatives for several days, and someone smears nipples with mustard or brilliant green. Mustard sharply pushes away desire of the child to suck as has sharp taste, unpleasant for the kid. Brilliant green simply frightens off the child. But the last way can be considered quite traumatic for the child too. Such breast of mom, native for it, becomes distasteful and terrible by sight.

6. Smooth and soft excommunication of the child from a breast is considered the most optimum way. But this process demands a large number of time from mom. This way differs from the first in the fact that excommunication happens consciously and gradually.

7. First of all it is necessary to cancel chaotic day feedings. Most often the child who eats a feeding up uses a breast only for calm in the afternoon. Some mothers even notice that more often the child does not suck, and just holds a nipple in a mouth. It is the simplest to remove these feedings for mom. It is only enough to distract the child at the moments when he asks a breast. To mom or dad it is necessary just to play these moments with the kid.

8. Now it is necessary to disaccustom the kid to feedings before or during a daytime sleep. Here already feeding is more ritual for the kid. It is possible to try to separate the child from feeding by a breast before a daytime sleep, having replaced it with other ritual. It can be swing on hands, reading fairy tales, singing of a lullaby or stroking of the kid. Thus, mom will replace one ritual with another.

9. The next stage — excommunication from morning feeding by a breast. Mom will need to wake up a little a bit earlier to feed the child not with breast milk, but svezhesvarenny porridge. The same concerns also a dinner. It is gradually necessary to replace chest feeding for the night with feeding by a dinner before going to bed. Besides, before going to bed it will also be necessary to create a new ritual for the child. It will replace a breast, habitual for the kid, for the night.

10. The remained night feedings if they take place to be in life of mom and kid, it is also necessary to replace with strokings at those moments when the child wakes up. If the child does not fall asleep, then it is possible to try to allow him to drink a little warm water or herbal tea.
