When your baby has stopped breastfeeding and receives all of their food from sources other than the breast, which is considered weaned. Although the babies are weaned from the bottle, and often the term refers to the cessation of a baby stops when breastfeeding.

When the withdrawal is an idea of the mother, in general, requires great patience and can take time, depending on the age of your baby or young child, and how it fits your child. The general experience is different for everyone. Weaning is a long goodbye, emotional and, sometimes, sometimes painful. However, the signal of the end of privacy that you and your child have been developed during nursing. What this means is that you have to replace breastfeeding with other types of food.

As was weaned on the best judge of when is the right time to weaning, and you do not have a deadline unless you and your child are actually ready to wean. The time of weaning is one year. No matter what parents, friends or even strangers, I say, no right or wrong time for weaning.

How to wean
We must proceed slowly, regardless of age, be in May Experts say that this does not suddenly remember your chest, because the results can be traumatic. You must try these methods instead:

  1. Skip food
    Turning a food and see what happens, offering a cup of milk to your child instead. As an alternative, you can use a bottle of milk on its own pump, formula or milk a cow. If you reduce the power of one at a time your child to adapt to change.
  2. Shorten the time for food
    You can start by cutting the length of your child is in fact in the chest. If the power is 5 minutes from time, try 3. By age, to continue to eat a healthy snack. Bedtime food are often the hardest to wean because they are often the last to leave.
  3. Defer and distract
    You can see the food if the food is only a couple of times a day. This method works if you have a much older child can actually reason. If your child wants to breastfeed, saying that I think you later, when distracted.

If you have tried everything and weaning is not working at all, maybe just the time is not right. You can wait a little longer to see what happens, your son and you must determine when to wean together.
