Instruction
1. Most of young mothers perceive process of excommunication from a breast as extraordinary painful and difficult, without representing as it has to occur and on what term. However there are several factors which directly or indirectly can indicate that time to wean came.
2. The fact is that your breast milk undergoes three stages of formation: formation, maturity and withering (involution). That's it involution which is necessary for 1 year and three months up to 3 years marks the beginning of the favorable period for excommunication from a breast. At this age the immune system of the kid was already enough created to resist to various infections therefore you can not be afraid that he will be often ill because of deprivation of maternal milk.
3. Involution is followed by small fullness of a breast for lack of applying of the kid. That is if your breast remains soft all day and when filling does not cause painful feelings, then it means that you are really ready to excommunication. The organism can signal about readiness to stop feeding by a breast physical exhaustion. At the same time the feeling can not abandon you that the child exhausts from you. If you test weakness, dizziness and morbidity of nipples, then can think of refusal of breastfeeding seriously.
4. If you notice that the sosatelny activity of the kid grew if for one feeding he is put to one, to other breast, unruly fingering nipples and even biting them, it is a sure sign that the kid lacks milk, his stocks are exhausted and came it is time to wean. Such physical exhaustion by all means will affect your psychological state: every day the desire to escape and disappear from own child will become more and more persuasive.
5. Having made the decision to begin to separate from a breast, consider the state of health of the kid in attention. During a disease and during preventive inoculations it is impossible to wean. Same concerns hot season when the need for liquid strongly increases and the activity of pathogenic microflora increases. If your kid easily falls asleep without you, for example, with dad or the grandmother, and does not remember a breast after your return, then it is a sure sign that it is already time. It seems to all mothers that the baby endures separation from a breast stronger, than they. But it not so. Kids after a year transfer excommunication easier than mothers and quickly forget that once they for hours "hung" on it and found calm and protection here.
