baby does not sleep without feeding and how to stop it?

Question

Accepted Answer

For a breastfed child, breastfeeding is more than food, its connection, love, comfort and everything they crave when they are down.

Using something like neem to take away something that gives a child joy and solace is not gentle in any way.

Meanwhile, ensure you are getting some rest while someone else takes over parenting and putting baby to sleep. And get a blood test. Often, deficiencies in nutrients makes nursing aversion worse.

If you have made up your mind on weaning, go slow. Drop one feed at a time, and have another adult take over for that duration.

Set feeding limits with empathy: "let's play a game, feed till we sing abcd on each side" and sing as fast or slow as you feel comfortable.

Let's cuddle instead of feeding now, let's colour or do something else. You could read a book to baby instead of feeding.

The child does not understand your frustrations as he is too young to do so mama!

Baby massage is one of the best ways to calm and soothe your baby. Massage has health benefits for your baby such as  improving blood circulation, weight gain, digestion and also easing teething woes for your baby. Massaging your baby is an excellent way of expressing your love and care, and it also helps you to bond with your baby.
