brestfeed kab chodna chiye? nd how?

A. The decision to stop breastfeeding is personal and can vary based on both mother and baby's needs. Here are general guidelines: 1. **Age Consideration:** The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months, and continuing with complementary foods until 2 years or beyond, if desired. 2. **Readiness:** Consider stopping if you or your baby are ready. Signs that your baby might be ready include showing interest in solid foods, reduced nursing frequency, or self-weaning behaviors. 3. **Gradual Weaning:** To make the transition easier, gradually reduce breastfeeding sessions. This can be done by shortening the duration of each feeding or dropping one feeding at a time. 4. **Introduce Alternatives:** Replace breastfeeding with formula or cow's milk (if your baby is over 12 months) and offer a variety of healthy foods to ensure balanced nutrition. 5. **Comfort and Care:** Offer extra comfort and attention during the weaning process, as it can be an emotional time for both you and your baby. 6. **Consult a Pediatrician:** If you have concerns or need advice specific to your situation, consult a pediatrician for personalized guidance. Gradual weaning helps ease the transition for both mother and baby and reduces the risk of engorgement and emotional stress.
