- There are two types of weaning processes: baby-led weaning and mother-led weaning.
- Baby-led weaning is when your baby naturally outgrows breastfeeding.
- Weaning times vary.
- Mother-led weaning occurs when the mother decides to wean her baby from the breast.
- Make sure not to stop breastfeeding abruptly since this can cause engorgement and can upset your child.
- Begin slowly and eliminate 1 nursing session every 3-7 days.
- The amount of time varies and depends on your child’s reaction to the weaning process.
- Eliminate the morning and last feeding of the day last.
- In general, these feeding times are the most comforting feeds and the hardest to wean.
