Nocturnal breastfeeding for many mothers sooner or later begins to tire. The kid does not make any special distinctions between day and night, he always enjoys communication. A young mother, on the other hand, can get so tired of the day's worries that it will be difficult for her to wake up. In this case, you need to gradually abandon night feedings.
Instructions
Step 1
Babies can disturb their parents for a long time at night, artificial people weaned from night feeding earlier. But this, of course, is not a call to stop breastfeeding! If you find it difficult to feed your baby at night, use some of the techniques that women have been using for a long time.
Step 2
Try feeding your baby more often during the day. During the day's feeding, the baby will receive the full amount of food consumed per day. Give your child a hearty dinner at night.
Step 3
Pay more attention to your baby during the day, because if he lacks communication with you, he makes up for this deficit at night. Play with your child, do developmental exercises, do not forget about tactile contact. The baby calms down from communication with the mother, from her touch, and in this case he will sleep more soundly.
Step 4
Usually mothers do a lot of homework after the baby falls asleep. When you are about to go to bed yourself, wake your baby up and feed him. This will provide you with enough time to rest, because you have already ruled out one "wake-up".
Step 5
If the baby is about a year old, put him in another room or behind a screen. It's good when he shares the nursery with his brother or sister, such babies more easily wean themselves from night feedings.
Step 6
Be sure to walk and play with your child in the evening, he will gain impressions and get tired, which will allow you to sleep peacefully at night. Walking will awaken your baby's appetite, he will have a good dinner and will not get hungry longer.
Step 7
At this age, the child already listens to your words, so explain to him that "the milk is over, the new will be only in the morning." Gradually, the baby will get used to having breakfast at normal times.
Step 8
The baby should not be deprived of night feedings abruptly, use all the techniques in combination so that the transition is not stressful for the baby. Start weaning at 5-6 months, this is a normal age when the baby can easily endure such deprivation. Weaning occurs after 2-3 weeks.
