How should I wean my baby off breastfeeding?

Описание: When weaning your baby the best way to do it is do it slowly. This helps decrease the chances of complications such as mastitis. If you can eliminate a feeding every two to five days, increase the length of time between feedings, and decrease the length of actual feedings. By doing this you'll slowly tell your body that it doesn't need to make milk anymore. It may take a couple of weeks but this is the best way to do it. You may notice, say you've done your baby really well to wean your baby off but then your baby all of the sudden can go a day or so without nursing. You're feeling really full and perhaps a little engorged. The best thing to do would be to get a little bit of milk off by either manually expressing it or pumping it off, just a tad bit to the point where you're comfortable. You can actually also use cabbage leaves to help reduce discomfort. So go to the grocery store, get you some green cabbage leaves, rinse them off, and then just put them directly on the breast inside of your bra, and that will help too. There are also over-the-counter medications you can take and you can consult with your doctor as to which kinds are safe and the proper doses. Beyond that if you have any other questions or complications arise make sure to also ask your doctor.
