How to start the stage of weaning of the baby
After 6 months, the mother can decide, for whatever reasons, that the moment of weaning has arrived. Ideally, this should be done gradually. This will not be traumatic for either the mother or the baby.
The gradual way to start weaning, is not to offer the baby the breast but not to prohibit it. It should stop taking shots gradually, trying to space more and more the time when the baby is placed on the breast.
The last shot that should be left is the night shot, since this shot is the most important one for the baby. The reason is that nighttime feeding helps babies fall asleep. That's why you can eliminate shots during the day and keep the night shot for longer.
How to leave this last shot? The most recommendable thing is that the roles are changed, and it is the father who gives the bottle of the night to his son with formula milk. It is better because the baby does not associate his father with breastfeeding.
