A. give cups n glasses avoid bottle weaning from breastfeeding needs time and patience so that it is easy for both mother and baby. skip one feed at a time. offer something else to eat or drink. weaning from night feed is especially tough so avoid habit of feeding to sleep. gradually baby will also get accustomed to solids. . do it gradually. allow child to sleep with daddy or offer something else when child wants breast milk.

A. Hi mom. Summer season usually babies will have less appetite and will be irritated to have food. you can reduce using the bottle after one year of age and start by giving with tumbler and spoon or straw and tumbler. Feed the baby with more of fruits and vegetables including more of water. Give more of dairy products including cheese butter ghee milk. Feed the baby with dry fruits. it's too early to stop the breastfeeding but even if at all you want to stop it has to be a slow transition, reduce giving intervals during the daytime and do not give it without baby demanding it.
