Weaning a baby: how not to do it (bad advice)

Thanks to our advice, weaning will become the most painful, long and painful process (both for mother and baby). And you will have unforgettable sensations!

Buy any means to stop lactation

Indeed, why go to a doctor who will find the right pill for you, spend time visiting the clinic if your mom / sister / girlfriend has already taken some pills to stop lactation? The body is the same for everyone. Therefore, rather run to the nearest pharmacy and take the cheapest drugs. Everyone does it, and nothing!

Stop feeding your baby right after the procedures

Did the kid have to go through unpleasant vaccinations, painful massages and other manipulations? Well, that was a great excuse to excommunicate him. This tempers the character: a small person from childhood will know what stress and deprivation are. After vaccination, children usually become moody and irritable, often fever and spleen. A good moment to deprive the baby of the main consolation!

Weaning at a very young age

Your baby is not yet a year old? Fine. Now they write and say everywhere that it is necessary to stop feeding as soon as possible. The reason is very simple - it is much more convenient for a young mother to walk with a bottle than to breastfeed. Marketers can’t lie: if the can of the mixture says that it is a “natural and healthy” product, replacing mother’s milk, it means that it is. Take it immediately without hesitation!

Pull the chest

The old way that our grandmothers used 200 years ago. There are, of course, disadvantages: stagnation of milk in the chest may occur, mastitis, and then you have to turn to specialists (surgeon, for example) to get rid of pain and discomfort. But believe me - it's worth it! Milk will surely disappear.

Explain to the child that he is already big

Six months after birth, it’s time to understand that you are an adult. Explain to your child that breast milk is for babies, and he has grown up a long time ago. Your little genius will probably understand what happened and stop asking for breasts. And how did the others not think of this before? And with all trust there, psychologists then sort out: we have no time.

Say that another baby needs milk

Say a newborn brother or sister. Generosity must be encouraged from infancy: let him share the dearest with his relatives. Baby doesn’t feel sorry for a brother or sister. No cars, no cribs, no mom, no milk. Children need not only to be fed, but also brought up!

Stop feeding at the most inopportune moment: wean at the time of moving, immediately after the flight, divorce or tsunami

Relocation, scandal, natural disaster ... Against the background of these misfortunes, a child can forget about the existence of breastfeeding. After all, we too endure these tests. Welcome to adulthood!

Spread the nipples with something sharp

Mustard, pepper, zelenka and other unpleasant things - the baby reached for his mother’s delicious and beloved milk, and here - an ambush and treason ... Yes, the baby will be burned a couple of times, cry sobbing, but then it won’t even reach your head for your chest. Good lesson.

Leave the baby for a while

Of course, suddenly the baby has little stress from the fact that he is no longer breastfeeding? Add stress to the life of your baby: let him spend several days without his beloved mother. Yes, he will be sad and lonely. Cry, shout, and so what? Life in general is full of disappointments.

Of course, if you want a delicate and gradual weaning, then it is better to ignore these tips and do the opposite: take care of your health, be patient and gentle in relation to the crumbs and do not forget about common sense.
