Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
1. The mother can first reduce one feeding of breast milk for the baby each day and increase the amount of complementary food accordingly. After about a week, if the mother feels that her breasts are not too full and the baby's digestion and absorption are also good, she can reduce another feeding of breast milk while further increasing the amount of complementary food, gradually transitioning to weaning.2. When reducing milk intake, the baby may become very attached to the mother's milk. Therefore, it is best to start by reducing one of the daytime feedings. This is because there are many things that attract the baby during the day, so they are not particularly focused on the mother. However, in the morning and evening, the baby becomes especially attached to the mother and needs comfort from breastfeeding. Thus, weaning at night may be more challenging. Once the baby stops the daytime feeding, the nighttime feedings can be gradually reduced until complete weaning is achieved.
