Drop one breastfeed at a time and offer your baby formula milk instead if the baby is less than 12 months old. Sometimes a baby suckles on your breast as he or she needs closeness or comfort from you. Refrain from offering your breast for comfort. Try and distract your baby and indulge him in some activity that he may enjoy doing. Whenever the hunger pang strikes, try feeding some solid food to your baby. Your baby may act a bit grumpy for the first few times but when you keep giving him these options - formula and solids, he will associate them with his hunger and may shift his focus from breast milk to these options.
