When and How to Stop Breastfeeding #weaning

I originally wrote this article a couple months back, however, when my blog was hacked it was one of the posts that got deleted. So I've decided to re-write the article, since I'm currently battling weaning Brianna.

What does it mean to you when someone says that they've weaned a child? Your baby is considered weaned when she stops nursing, and gets all its nutrients from other sources other than the breast. Even if babies are weaned from the bottle, the term normally refers to when the baby stops breastfeeding.

I've been trying to wean my daughter now for quite some time, and have debated if I should continue for a bit longer. It doesn't necessarily mean the end of the intimate bond that we currently have, it just means that it's time to nurture in different ways.

If you've nursed your little one for comfort, you'll have to find other ways to make her feel better. You could try playing or singing a song together, or maybe read a book. If your child throws a tantrum, try to stay calm and be firm. If you need to, ask your partner to take over and help assist.
