A dummy and a bottle are essential attributes in baby care. But the baby is growing and it's time to say goodbye to them. This is where the problems begin.
If your baby is one year old, and he still cannot sleep without a pacifier and drinks from a bottle, then it's time to start an operation to wean them from these useful attributes. You should definitely not do this if the baby is teething - he does not need any additional stress now. Also, do not start the operation if your child is sick - he must be absolutely cheerful and cheerful.
Start weaning your child with one thing - with what you think is less necessary for the child at a given time. For example, from a bottle. Just hide all the bottles far away (or rather throw away) and give the baby the mixture, milk and liquid porridge from the sippy cup. At first, he may not perceive it very positively, but very soon he will get used to it. The main thing is that the bottle never catches his eye again.
A week will pass, another, you can start weaning the nipples. If the baby does not let it out of his mouth during the day, minimize her stay in the baby's mouth - explain that if we take the pacifier in our mouth, then we close our eyes and go to bed. Those. at first, give the pacifier only for sleep. Next, be patient, throw away all the nipples.
The baby can worry for two days, will ask for a pacifier, but soon he will calm down and forget about its existence. The main thing is that she does not suddenly remind of herself somewhere. By the age of one and a half, it would be good for the child to completely unlearn the pacifier and the bottle.
